Below you find three options to get to the zoo:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>First Option: By bus<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the cheapest option. You only need to take the bus that goes to Saylla Tipon. To take the bus you have to go to La Cultura Av, in Cusco. The cost of the ticket is S\/. 2 nuevos soles per person. It normally takes from 1 to 1 hour and a quarter to get there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you get to the last stop of the bus, you will have to walk 15 minutes until you get to the zoo&#8217;s door. You will have to pay the entrance tickets and enjoy your visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Second Option: By Taxi<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second option is to take a private taxi from Cusco to the zoo. It may cost from S\/. 25.00 to 30.00 nuevos soles. To get to the zoo, it takes from 30 to 45 minutes. Taking a taxi has some advantages such as getting to the door of the zoo without any inconvenience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Third Option: Through a Tourist Agency<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting to the zoo through a tourist agency is the most practical option. A tourist agency will arrange everything in advance and make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your visit..<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Opening Hours:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monday to Sunday: From 9:00 am to 5:00 pm<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rates:\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Adults:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> S\/ 5.00<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Children:\u00a0 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S\/ 3.00<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Inkayni Tips:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring your personal documents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to keep hydrated<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear a hat and sunscreen to prevent sun damage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pack light clothes for hiking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For cold night, bring warm clothes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take some cash (preferably local currency for additional expenses)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget to bring your camera<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the guide\u2019s instructions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tipon Zoo| If you are in Cusco and are looking for activities to do while acclimating to the altitude, Tipon zoo is an excellent option to spend time with nature and animals that are in danger of extinction.
