Trends may come and go, but one thing that seems here to stay is capybara fever. These days, you can find all kinds of merchandise featuring this lovable giant rodent—and now, in Baja California, you can even see capybaras up close and in person!
Capybaras Join Animal Roster at Ensenada’s Parque del Niño Zoo
Through a short reel shared on social media, Parque del Niño Zoo in Ensenada announced that capybaras have officially “checked in” to their facilities.
“We heard you! On social media, people asked us almost every day if we had capybaras—and now, they’ve finally arrived at the Valle de Guadalupe Zoo.”

The video shows two cute little capybaras munching away, while one of the staff members invites families to visit the famous zoo in Ensenada.
It’s worth noting that capybaras are native to South America, so having the chance to see a pair of these fascinating creatures in Baja California is truly a unique experience—you won’t want to miss it!

These summer holidays are the ideal time to explore this spectacular place, home to various animal species, along with activities like swimming pools, splash pads, paleontology exhibits, and much more.
