Santiago authorities confirmed the two beasts were killed as they mauled the 20-year-old who had broken into their compound early on Saturday.
The man, who has not been named, was accidentally hit with a tranquilizer as zookeepers frantically tried to put the lions to sleep.
He taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and was said to be in a "grave" condition.
Director of the city's Metropolitan Zoo Alejandra Montalba said the park was crowded with visitors at the time of the incident.
"The zoo has an established protocol because people's lives are very important to us," said Montalba.
She added that there were no fast-acting tranquilizers available to stop the lions quickly.
