Circo Garcia was inaugurated in 1928 by Antolin Garcia, who gave rise to the succesful, traditional and well-known Garcia family. The circus with 3500 places traveled the five continents with 300 artists and workers, and 30 animals, among chimpanzees, horses, tigers and elephants. It was considered one of the biggest circus in the world. In 2003, Garcia announced the end of the show after 74 years in operation.
