Guide For Living And Traveling to Antigua Guatemala

Things to Do in Guatemala: Visit a Safari Park, AutoSafari Chapin

If you’ve been around this site for a while, you know how much I *absolutely* love and try to inspire you to think of and see travel differently.  Sure, a vacation is a beautiful thing, but…

My past trips to Guatemala had been your garden-variety-type vacations.  By that I mean I was:

a)  Rushing around from tourist attraction to tourist attraction to “see it all.”

b)  Spending money like a drunken sailor to “get the full experience,” aka “ the prepackaged touristy stuff .”

These experiences have taught me something important:

The one who spends the most money

doesn’t necessarily have the best travel experience.

It turns out when you run from attraction to attraction, you might miss all the cool stuff in-between.  Such as a freaking awesome safari experience in the middle of Central America!

I’d read in passing about AutoSafari Chapin before, though I had never had the time nor the desire to go during my earlier short stays here.  Now that I’m slow-traveling through Guatemala, I’ve had time to check out the lesser-known/visited attractions.

This one blew me away because I wasn’t expecting to enjoy myself there as much as I did.

AutoSafari, in short, was the brainchild of two men who thought to build a natural reserve in the middle of nowhere and laid it out as a driveable, safari-like experience.  I have to say they succeeded tremendously.

Heading out on the road to Taxisco, off of CA-9 (the road that leads to the Pacific Coast), you’ll find a few well-placed signs advising you how long until you arrive at the park’s entrance.  This entrance is well-marked with the huge sign you see below.

Entrance sign for AutoSafari Chapin

AutoSafari is open every day, except Mondays, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  You get the option to drive yourself or be driven around in their minivan for a guided tour.

Whatever option you take, your entrance fee entitles you to another go-around late in the afternoon.

AutoSafari Chapin Hours – Closed Mondays

Macaws will greet you at the door.

So close you can touch them – don’t!

Something that I’ve noticed here is that parks don’t gouge you when it comes to food and drinks.  They acknowledge they are the only vendor in the park and seem not to use the opportunity to squeeze you for every last cent.

Who knew that building an attraction that was both enjoyable AND affordable could be a sound business strategy?

Visit restrooms at the entrance – a good idea

Entry fees are pretty affordable. Tickets for adults are Q60, for children 2-10 years old Q50, free for anyone under two. You can also prepay for food, which I highly recommend.

For only Q30 extra for adults and Q35 for children, you get a ticket for a meal combo (burger, fries and a drink).  Pony up Q55 and you get a huge Churrasco and potatoes meal.

The burgers were surprisingly humongous too, and one burger is enough to feed two starving children, as I found out.

Prices at AutoSafari Chapin

At the ticket booth, you’ll get a map of showing you the layout of the park.  The park is divided into sections and numbered gates separate them. It’s not necessary, as the road that goes through the park does not have any turn-offs.

With tickets in hand, we went towards section #1.  A park attendant checked to made sure we had bought tickets.  Once cleared, the massive wooden doors were opened, and we were off!

Immediately we were awestruck when we realized we’d be not just close to the animals, but right next to them.  We slowly inched forward while zebras leisurely moved off the road.

You’re allowed to have the windows rolled down, except when moving into the section housing the lions.  I was so close to the zebras I could almost touch them if I stuck my arm out of the car.

Zebras up close

I believe the animals below were yaks.  For the most part, my experience was that the animals regarded us with as much curiosity as we did them.

Yaks? – AutoSafari Chapin Guatemala

Each section was numbered.

The park is divided into sections

There were signs with the names of animals present in each particular section.

Signs tell you what animals to look for

Emus were wandering around freely.

Another treat was the Hippo section.

Hippo section was a favorite of ours

As we drove up, a hippo eyed us from the water and decided to put on a show.

Hippos going for a swim

The hippo slowly made its way out of the water, walked across the road, literally 3 feet in front of the car, and just stared at us for a bit.

Hippos up close

Once it got bored of us, it turned around and just waded into the water for another swim.

Hippos must be bored of tourists

There were a few different species of goat and deer throughout the park….

African goats?

… as well as lots of spider monkeys.

Deer at the side of the road

I believe this is what they call a six-point buck up north.  Much more prone to jump in front of your car in the US.  This one here just seemed content to watch me drive by.

Deer up close

An ostrich watches us go by…

Spotted Agua Volcano.  We know we’re not too far from home whenever we catch a glimpse.

Agua Volcano in the distance

Another favorite of us was the section housing giraffes, which seemed to be curious about every car that passed by.

Giraffe section

I’m sure the kid below got a memory of a lifetime, as he peeked at a giraffe while sticking his head out of the car’s sunroof.

How. Cool. Is. That?

Peeking at giraffe through sunroof

The giraffe above headed to the shade under the canopy.  We thought we’d have to be content to watch them from a distance…

Avoiding the midday sun

… until the same giraffe started walking again and headed straight for the back of our car.

More giraffes

The giraffe slowly made its way around, and I managed to get a quick shot off as it checked us out from behind.

One giraffe found us interesting

The giraffe got so close to us I couldn’t even fit it all in one frame. It was so close I could’ve touched without sticking out my whole arm!

It got very close

Close enough to touch

Eventually, it walked away after it got bored with us.  The kids just sat in the car with mouths wide open.

It strolled away…

Heading into the section that housed the lions, all signs advised us to roll up the windows. Sunroof-kid wisely ducked inside the car again.

Fenced in lion section

Again, we were able to get pretty close.

Lion didn’t seem to mind us

Windows must be up when in lions’ section

Rolled down the windows just a tad to get a clear pic.  The lions seemed not to pay any attention to us.

I dared lowering window a bit to take a better pic

Just in case, a guard watched from a tower high up, in case anybody got crazy enough to get out of the car and pet the lion.

Guard watching lions closely

Halfway through, there’s a section where people can pull over, use the restrooms, and get some refreshments.  It also had a nice observation tower overlooking the giraffes’ section.

I liked the open-area setup.  The animals had plenty of room to roam, and they all seemed to be cared for well.

Open spaces

Giant iguanas

By far the smelliest section was the warthog section.  We couldn’t get past it fast enough!

Warthogs smell bad!

Large iguana

Not exactly the African plain, but close enough

At the end of the driving trail, one arrives at the other section of the park, which contains the restaurant, pool, another zoo (traditional kind) and an artificial lake.

Signs for pool, restaurant, and other sections of the park

We parked and headed straight for the restaurant to eat.  The installations were huge and pretty clean.  The menu has your standard park fare and beer on tap.

Restaurant counter

Two pools, an adult-sized one, and a kiddie one were a welcome relief since it was very hot, as it tends to be in this part of Guatemala.

We went pretty early, which explains why there are barely any other people in the pics. The pool area filled up later when the latecomers began streaming in after 1:00 p.m.

Clean pools

There were different colorful birds throughout the park’s grounds.

Royal toucans up close

Included in the admission price is a pleasant ride on a gondola-type launch, which circles “Monkey Island.”  It took about 10-15 minutes to go around the lake.

Entrance for launch to Monkey Island

After the gondola ride, we went on the walking trail to explore the mini-zoo.

There’s a nice shaded trail for the little ones

They seemed relaxed

Jaguar up close – near impossible to see one in the wild

After spending a few hours at the park, we were pooped.  We had no energy to make use of that second go-round pass.

I’d say that this park was one of the highlights of my trip, a real feat considering I’ve been to some amazing places already.

And I totally would’ve missed it again had I not been exploring Guatemala slowly, at my own pace, instead of frantically trying to have an excellent vacation.

What are some off-the-beaten path places you love,

even though they’re not huge tourist’ attractions?

This looks like such an amazing experience! I want to check it out if I ever make to Guatemala! Off the beaten path places are very fun to find, it’s so wonderful that you created this ability to travel slowly and discover them.

It is a wonderful place. Well worth the visit :)

And I’m working hard behind the scenes to make slow travel a reality for other people.

Excellent site you’ve got here. I honestly appreciate people like you! Take care!

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Chrome. Exceptional Blog!

Autosafari Chapín

About 25km southeast of Escuintla, Autosafari Chapín is a drive-through safari park and animal conservation project. Species native to Guatemala include white-tailed deer, tapir and macaws. Around the grounds also roam non-native species such as lions, hippos and leopards. There is a restaurant and pool, and it makes a good day out if you're traveling with kids.

It's more fun if you have your own vehicle, but if not, a 20-minute cruise through the park in a minibus is included in the admission price. Various companies run buses here (Q20, 1½ hours) from the Centra Sur terminal in Guatemala City. They leave every 10 minutes, from 4:30am to 5:30pm.

Destinations, family travel.

Surprise, surprise! Guatemala has one of the best safaris my family and I’ve been to, and I can honestly say we’ve been to a lot. Too many actually. I’m almost over visiting animal parks at times, but Auto Safari Chapin was just what we needed.

If you’re an animal lover, adventure seeker, or simply curious about unique experiences, Auto Safari Chapin in Guatemala is a must-visit destination.

The Auto Safari Chapin is located in Escuintla , and it offers a unique blend of wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, and family-friendly activities, I can’t put into words how incredible this place is and how good an addition to any bucket list it is!

What to do and see at Auto Safari Chapin?

When we first heard about it, I really was not expecting much, but Auto Safari Chapin truly offers an immersive safari experience like no other. Not only that, it actually has several other activities, spaces, and different ways to interact with the animals.

Make sure to keep your camera ready, as you drive through the park the curious animals literally come up to your car. At times it can really be frightening.

Here’s what Auto Safari Chapin Offers:

Enjoy the Pit stop

One of the biggest draws of Auto Safari Chapin is that it’s not all in-car driving. About mid point, there is a great playground to walk around.

It’s a great addition, breathe fresh air, stretch your legs, and even have some viewpoints to see the animals.

Enjoy the Different Pathways

After you’re done with the driving of the safari, the other half of the fun begins.

You’ll find a couple of trails and walkways, which will take you to the other part of the park where you will find several other attractions. Walking those trails is part of the fun, they feel cozy and natural.

Check out the Zoo

After the safari you can go to the Zoo, yes, there is an actual zoo too. There you will large cages to visit as well as different animals.

Try the Boat Tour and Monkey Island

While there are monkeys there you won’t find them since they have their own habitat. Yes, the luckiest of all are the monkeys, they seem to have it better than the rest. They have their own island!

Once you’re done with the safari drive and walking the zoo, there is still more fun to be had. Take the boat ride to Monkey Island and other animals that you haven’t seen before.

Feeding Opportunities

Yes, you should not miss the chance to hand-feed some of the animals, but it has an extra cost and can be done only at certain times of the day.

For example, you can feed the giraffes for Q10 (like $2). It’s an exhilarating experience that brings you closer to nature, worth trying out.

If you’re lucky enough, some days you will find pony rides available and kids can enjoy a short and safe activity that’s guided by friendly and professional staff.

It’s a memorable experience for little adventurers.

Try Petting an Animal in the Zoo

Both adults and kids can get to pet goats, rabbits, and other gentle animals at the petting zoo. You need to ask the staff if this is available first, please, don’t go touching all the animals you see around.

I know children love interacting with their furry friends, but make sure it’s under the staff’s supervision.

Check out the Playground

At the center of the safari, you will find a huge area, there is also a playground for kids to enjoy. It has several structures, like a pool, swings, slides, and climbing structures.

Let the kids burn off energy at the playground.

🛫Find Cheap Flights

Picnic Areas and Restaurants

Of course, eating is a huge part of the experience and fortunately, you can choose between packing your own picnic or dining at the park’s restaurants.

While the restaurant is not the best it’s certainly not bad, it’s a bit expensive compared to the rest of the prices in the country but I guess it’s due to the location.

You can expect to pay Q60 (around $8) for a hamburger, french fries and a drink. But you get the experience and you get to enjoy your meal with a view of the scenic surroundings.

How to Get to Auto Safari Chapin?

Auto Safari Chapin is conveniently located in Escuintla, just a short drive from Guatemala City and Antigua , it’s like 1 hour away by car, which makes it perfect for a day trip from Antigua .

You can get there by taxi, or taking a shuttle (I don’t recommend you take the public bus, they are crowded and loud). Also, you can get there by using Uber, which is available in Guatemala and a lot of tourists feel safer using it.

On the other hand, I highly recommend you rent a car and drive there, it’s not complicated. You can follow these steps to reach the park:

Directions from Guatemala City:

• Head south on the CA-9 highway.
• Take the exit toward Escuintla.
• Follow signs to Auto Safari Chapin.
• Arrive at the entrance and get ready for adventure!

Things to Pack

Yes, there are things you NEED to pack, since there’s a portion of the adventure done on food and even a boat tour, it’s better to come to the safari prepared!

The first thing and most important: walking around can be tiring, so bring water and snacks.

The second thing: make sure to pack binoculars, that way you can spot distant animals.

The Third one: Don’t forget your camera or smartphone to capture those memorable moments. Remember to turn off the flash to avoid startling the animals.

Here’s a quick list of the things you NEED to bring:

• Sun protector
• Insect Repellent (used it BEFORE arriving)
• First Aid Kit
• Sun Glasses

Tips I wish I had known before my visit

Visiting auto safaris and zoos can be an exciting, educational, and a pretty straightforward experience for people of all ages, but there are several things I wish I had known before my visit there

So, here’s how to have an unforgettable safari or zoo adventure:

1. Plan Ahead

I was living in Antigua at the moment of my visit, and the Auto Safari Chapin is only 1h away from there, so I guess that’s why we didn’t overthink it.

But before heading to the safari or zoo, do some research. Find out the opening hours, ticket prices, and any special events or feeding times.

If you can, consider booking tickets online to avoid long queues at the entrance. Also, check the weather forecast!

2. Arrive Early

Arriving early is always a good practice and has several advantages. You’ll beat the crowds, have better chances of seeing active animals, and enjoy cooler temperatures.

Plus, early mornings are when many animals are most active.

3. Respect the Animals

If you with you own car or use the Auto Safari Chapin bus to go through the park, make sure to keep a safe distance from the animals, and don’t try to pet them without supervision.

Follow any guidelines provided by the staff.

Avoid loud noises, sudden movements, and feeding the animals unless allowed. Remember that these creatures are wild and deserve our respect.

4. Learn About Conservation

Many zoos and safaris focus on conservation efforts, and Auto Safari Chapin is not different. So, take the time to read about the species you encounter and learn about their habitats, threats, and what’s being done to protect them.

Your visit contributes to these conservation initiatives.

Absolutely yes! The ride, the other attractions of the park, the animals and the playground make it a great family outing.

Yes, you can pack a picnic and enjoy it at one of the designated areas.

Yes, if you don’t have a car, they have a bus that will take you through the park with a professional, but it’s NOT a guided tour. While there are no official guided tours, the park provides informative signs and maps.

The dry season is always the best time to visit the country, make sure to go to the safari during Mornings and late afternoons offer pleasant weather and optimal animal activity.

It’s been 15 years since I have been in a auto safari. I was so much younger and so scared. Still I remember it was fun. It-s a pity I never got to do it again. Maybe sometime in the future… Auto Safari Chapin sounds like a great choice.

Laura, how cool you did this! Very few people, who don’t spend a lot of time in Guatemala visit this safari. Funny enough, the first time I did it was 13 years ago. It was great going back with my kids.

I love safaris like this! It makes a safari accessible for those of us that can’t travel to Africa.

Auto Safari Chapín, de Escuintla para toda Guatemala

¿Cuántos recuerdos te trae el Auto Safari Chapín? Para todo escuintleco es inevitable escuchar su nombre y evitar que se forme en el rostro una sonrisa, pues además de ser uno de los lugares turísticos emblemáticos de Escuintla, es un centro de recuerdos donde grandes y pequeños disfrutan por igual.

Auto Safari Chapín se fundó y estableció en Escuintla, pero es un punto de reunión para cientos de familias guatemaltecas y extranjeras que buscan una convivencia especial con la naturaleza y los animales.

¿Cómo nació la idea de fundar Auto Safari Chapín?

En 1975, Don Roberto Berger Lehnhoff y Don Ricardo Mata, comprometidos por crear un lugar o reserva en el que se pudiera conservar y reproducir la fauna guatemalteca, fundaron la reserva, con el fin especial de cuidar y proteger a los animales, especialmente los que se encontraban en peligro de extinción.

Según destacan en su página web, “los primeros animales en llegar a la reserva fueron 15 Venados cola blanca donados por el Señor Rafael Herrera”. Después contaron con la primera pareja de hipopótamos, agregándose poco a poco animales silvestres locales e internacionales, en los que algunos fueron donados por personas cercanas.

Luego ya se inició con los trabajos de remozamiento del área, hasta crear el icónico “Ranchón”, y el resto de las instalaciones, la construcción duró aproximadamente dos años, pero también se encargaron de reforestar el área, para hacer del lugar cada más confortable.

Fue el 26 de enero de 1980, cuando finalmente la reserva se abrió al público y desde entonces ha sido un monasterio de aprendizaje, respeto y amor por los animales y la fauna.

14 años después para hacer que los animales se sintieran más cómodos y en su hábitat, nuevamente se hicieron nuevas remodelaciones para evitar en lo posible el uso de jaulas y que las especies ahí expuestas tengan un “entorno más natural, abierto y acondicionado para sus necesidades específicas”.

Ver esta publicación en Instagram Una publicación compartida de Auto Safari Chapín (@autosafarichapin)

En el recinto cuentan con un programa educativo que ha sido visitado por estudiantes de escuelas de toda la república y tanto a ellos como todas las personas individuales que visitan el parque, se les explica de la importancia de la preservación de la fauna y flora. Con ello se pretende que se motiven ellos y a personas en sus comunidades a cuidar más el medio ambiente y con ello preservar la vida silvestre del país.

¿Qué especies viven en Auto Safari Chapín?

En Auto Safari Chapín conviven 96 especies distintas de animales y 70 especies de plantas, dentro de 14 recintos distribuidos en el parque. Se trata de que se mantengan en su habitad natural para hacer más fácil su preservación.

Algunos de los animales que llegan al parque son donaciones de circos, zoológicos y personas, otros son especies rescatadas, con el fin de que tengan una vida digna, con respeto y buenos cuidados.

Algunas de las especies guatemaltecas que se encuentran en peligro de extinción, se han logrado reproducir en el Auto Safari, dentro de ellas destacan: el venado cola blanca, venado Huitzil, coche de monte, jabalí, jaguares, monos araña, monos capuchinos, guacamayas rojo y azul, loros, y pericas.

Dentro de las especies que encontrará en el Auto Safari están:

• Pavos reales
• Guacamayas y loros
• Ciervos y venados
• Diferentes clases de monos
• Cocodrilos y caimanes
• Hipopótamos
• Coches de monte
• Ñandús, entre otros

Por la pandemia provocada por el COVID-19 Auto Safari como otros negocios tuvo que cerrar sus puertas en marzo, pero en agosto reabrieron para seguir brindando a las familias escuintlecas y guatemaltecas una sana recreación con todas las medidas sanitarias para prevenir el contagio del coronavirus.

Para algunos visitar el recinto es como realizar un viaje a África:

Desde la primera semana de diciembre estará abierto de jueves a domingo, a partir de las 8:30 horas, para que además de recorrido vehicular, se puedan disfrutar de las diferentes actividades como las piscinas, vueltas por la laguna, alimentar a las jirafas y aves, entre otras.

Para poder ingresar al parque, todos los vehículos son desinfectados y solo se permite utilizar los del núcleo familiar, se recomienda mantener las medidas de distanciamiento con otras personas ajenas a nuestra familia y el uso obligatorio de mascarilla.

Para garantizar la salud de sus visitantes las áreas comunes como baños y restaurantes son constantemente desinfectados.

Getting Close to Nature at Auto Safari Chapín in Guatemala

Located in Escuintla and just a one-and-a-half-hour drive from Guatemala City or Antigua Guatemala, Auto Safari Chapin is a great day trip for families and animal lovers. Whether you are visiting or living there, Auto Safari is one of the best things to do in Guatemala with kids.

Things to do In Guatemala For Animal Lovers

What sets Auto Safari apart from other zoos is that the animals roam freely in large enclosures you can drive through. You feel that you are entering that animal’s world, getting a sneak peek into their lives. Although the sections are big enough for the animals to interact in a natural environment, each enclosure is long but not too wide. The animals are never far away from the car as you drive; getting close to nature was never this easy!

As a kid, I remember going to Auto Safari Chapin a few times, especially when we were on our way to the beach. It’s a great side trip on your way to Monterrico or any other beach on Guatemala’s Pacific Coast . I love animals and have fond memories of visiting Auto Safari Chapín with my family. My favorite memory was holding a baby jaguar at the park when I was about 12 years old. Now, tell me, where else do you get to do that?

Incredible Adventures at Auto Safari Chapín

We took the kids to the Safari Chapín for the first time on our recent trip to Guatemala . And they were excited to see all the animals, from  African species like hippos, ostriches, and lions to local animals like whitetail deer and spider monkeys. You can drive with the windows down in most enclosures, except where dangerous animals like hippos and lions exist.

Feeding Giraffes At Auto Safari

The highlight of our visit was feeding the giraffes. For less than US $2, you receive a bunch of long branches that you can give the giraffes right from your car. You open your window and stick out the leaves, and the giraffes will take them right from your hand! After going through the enclosures, we returned with the park’s manager. I wanted to take pictures of the kids as they fed the giraffes, so I could not be inside the car.

We all ended up riding in the back of one of the park’s pickup trucks and feeding the giraffes. I was amazed at how close the giraffes were and how incredibly huge they were. As I stood next to the truck taking pictures, one of the park’s staff members kept the giraffes at a safe distance from me. A kick from their 7-foot legs would have certainly done some serious harm.

It was an amazing experience, and both of my kids were thrilled to be surrounded by giraffes. These majestic animals were coming from every direction, and getting so close to them was an incredible experience.

Incredible Wildlife At Your Window

We captured incredible photos of the animals right from the truck. The ride in our own car was comfortable and cool, unlike the weather outside (which was hot and muggy even in December). I was pleasantly surprised to see the zoo in excellent condition. The animals looked happy and in great health.

We saw many animals at Auto Safari ; our favorites were the hippos. There was a super cute baby hippo, and we saw them from pretty close. Also, we loved having to stop for whitetail deer or spider monkeys to cross the road in front of the car. And getting so close to the lions, resting just a couple of meters away, was exciting!

We also watched as a deer heard jumped over a stream. It felt like you were out on a safari in Africa! Nevertheless, the roads, although in excellent condition, are dirt roads. Sometimes you even have to cross a little stream, which my 7-year-old thought was cool.

Amenities and More at Safari Chapín

About halfway through the drive through the animal enclosures, there was a rest stop where you could buy refreshments and climb up observation areas to look at the giraffes. There were also bathrooms and a playground. We let the kids burn some energy on the playground before returning to the car. Once you finish with the drive-through section of the zoo, you arrive at a parking lot and can continue with the pedestrian part of the zoo. You will find local species of mammals, birds, and reptiles.  

The grounds weres well taken care of, and you felt like you were in the jungle or an African savanna. The gardens were not well-manicured but had more of a natural and wild look without being overgrown or out of control. In this area, you will also find the restaurant and the dock, where you can take a boat ride around the small lake. So don’t skip the opportunity to watch the capuchin and spider monkeys that inhabit the small islands.

Things To Consider When Visiting Auto Safari Chapín

• The restaurant offers hamburgers, hot dogs, Carne Adobada, and other simple and quick options. The food could be better, but we were not there for the food. Next time, I would pack sandwiches and snacks for the kids and skip the restaurant altogether.
• It is hot in Escuintla, even in December and January. So don’t forget to bring lots of sunblock cream, a hat, and mosquito repellent!
• Give yourself at least 3 or 4 hours to see everything. Although the safari is not immensely huge, you’ll need time to stop and appreciate the animals. 

For more information and rates, you can visit the Auto Safari Chapín website , like on Facebook , and follow on Twitter.

Que buenas imágenes. Hemos visitado varios zoológicos pero nunca hemos ido algo como esto. Debe ser una experiencia única… porque en una oportunidad fuimos a un lugar donde se podía alimentar a los animales y mis hijos no querían irse.

Que bello lugar, se ve magico, a mis nenas les encantaria ir!!

Qué súper safari, ya no tenemos que ir hasta Africa para vivir la experiencia de uno! Lindas fotos. Saludos y

¡FELIZ DÍA!ॐ http://mamaholistica.com

Guía turística – auto safari chapín.

Guatemala cuenta con una amplia abundancia de Flora y Fauna rica en  especies, privilegiada por sus climas y micro climas.  En donde los guatemaltecos pueden observarlas por doquier.  Dentro de los lugares que tiene Guatemala para apreciar la Flora y la Fauna se encuentra AUTO SAFARI CHAPÍN en donde los visitantes pueden observar de cerca a los animales  sin necesidad de una reja, al estilo de un SAFARI y vivir una experiencia única en Guatemala y Centroamérica.

La idea de crear un lugar para conservar las especies nace en 1975 por parte de  Roberto Berger Lehnhoff y Ricardo Mata, durante 2 años se hicieron mediciones y planificación del recinto. Iniciando con 15 venados de cola blanca, a los cuales se les sumaron diversas especies con el tiempo.

Es por ello que en 1980 crean el Auto Safari Chapín dando una oportunidad única a sus visitantes, poder realizar un recorrido desde la comodidad de su vehículo observando a los animales desde su habitad natural.

Es el primer zoológico interactivo de Centroamérica en el cual los visitantes pueden estar cerca de los animales desde la comodidad de su vehículo, brindado una experiencia única a los turistas.

Cómo Llegar

Existen dos vías, la más concurrida es la ruta Guatemala- Escuintla.

Si viene de la ciudad de Guatemala, se dirige por ruta al Pacífico vía Calzada Aguilar Batres, Amatitlán, y luego vía la autopista Palín-Escuintla CA-9A, hasta llegar a la bifurcación de Taxisco y la ruta a Puerto Quetzal. Una forma de orientación o punto clave es el restaurante Oasis en cual es característico por vender chicharrones, aproximadamente a 500 metros se encuentra un rótulo que indica el cruce, se debe de girar hacia la izquierda. Atravesando ambos carriles en línea recta. Al cruzar verá un rótulo que le indica  que debe conducir por 20 minutos más hasta el Auto Safari, en el kilómetro 87.5.

El trayecto está en muy buenas condiciones, facilitando la llegada al lugar. En su entorno se encuentran árboles a ambos lados del camino. Antes de llegar al Auto Safari se encuentra la hidroeléctrica de Aguacapa.

La segunda vía es recomendable para personas que vienen desde El Salvador, se recomienda ingresar a Guatemala por la frontera de la Hachadura. Al pasar la frontera se tarda aproximadamente 45 minutos a una hora para llegar al Auto Safari, el cual encontrará a mano izquierda.

Al llegar al Auto Safari se puede apreciar un rótulo de grandes proporciones desde la calle, el cual da la bienvenida. Al ingresar se conduce por camino rodeado de árboles, al finalizar encontrará rótulos sobre el horario de atención, costos y la garita en la cual hay que pagar el ingreso al parque.

Un policía lo guiara para estacionar el vehículo, al cancelar el costo de ingreso hay diversas tarifas.

• Incluye únicamente la entrada, que consiste en un recorrido por los 14 recintos hasta un recorrido a pie por la fauna de Guatemala y un recorrido en lancha.
• Incluye la entrada, el recorrido en vehículo, a pie, recorrido en lancha, uso de la piscina y almuerzo.

La aventura inicia al momento de ingresar al primer recinto en donde sus recomendaciones son básicas e indispensables:

Permanecer dentro del vehículo, colocar el pasador a las puertas, cuando se visita al león permanecer   con las ventanas arriba. Realizar el recorrido a una velocidad menor de 5km/h.

Son 14 recintos en su totalidad los cuales contienen diversidad de especies, la mayoría de estos   animales están libres e inclusive algunos de ellos son curiosos y se acercan al vehículo. Es una oportunidad ideal para tomar fotografías. Disfrutando de cada recinto el recorrido se puede hacer en una hora.

Los animales están en un Habitat ideal, por ejemplo los hipopótamos cuentan con estanque para nadar, así cada especie tiene su propio espacio natural.

• Cebra de Grant, Búfalo de Agua, Venado de Cola Blanca, Guacamaya Roja
• Venados Chitales, Emu, Guacamaya Azul y Amarillo

Al finalizar el recorrido del recinto 10 se encuentra un área para descansar, un oasis, miradores para ver jirafas, sanitarios y un área de juegos.

[ads1]Restaurante

En el área de restaurante hay variedad de comida en los cuales se puede encontrar para todos los gustos. Si uno gusta puede comer tanto en el rancho, como en el área de mesas con vista a la laguna. Por el lugar transitan pavo reales.

A un costado del restaurante se encuentra el área de piscinas, el cual contiene dos. Una de poca profundidad para niños y otra de mediana profundidad para adultos. Por el calor del lugar resulta refrescante hacer uso de ellas.

Una opción ideal es almorzar en medio del recorrido, ya sea después dirigiéndose al zoológico peatonal, dar el recorrido en lancha y por último dirigirse a la piscina. Una de las ventajas del Auto Safari Chapín es que resulta ser ideal para toda la familia, brindando una aventura de aprendizaje y valoración de la Fauna y Flora.

Al ingresar se observa una piedra con las huellas de unos pies el cual tienen una placa conmemorativa, acompañado por Guacamayas y Tucanes que dan la Bienvenida.
