The Stone Zoo

The Stone Zoo (Zoologico de Piedra in Spanish) is a collection of more than 400 animal and people sculptures in rock in Alto de Boquerón, Yateras, Cuba. It is the only stone zoo in the world.

History
In 1977, the self-taught sculptor Ángel Íñigo Blanco (1935-2014) quit his coffee-picking job and started to chisel rocks in the natural park. His son Ángel Íñigo Pérez took on the project.

The Stone Zoo was declared Cultural Patrimony of Cuba on June 26, 1985. The Stone Zoo is part of the Cuchillas del Toa biosphere reserve.
