A rescue centre that takes in confiscated or surrendered animals, with guided visits explaining where each one came from and why many can no longer go back to the forest. It runs a volunteering programme from half a day upwards. It is half an hour from town, on the road to Ciudad Quesada.
What to expect
A rescue centre that takes in confiscated or surrendered animals, not a zoo: they explain where each one came from and why many can never go back to the forest.
The regular tour lasts an hour and a half and includes the guided walk along the trails.
With the volunteering add-on it runs two and a half hours: you prepare diets and enrichment for macaws, monkeys and the rest.
Meeting and pickup
Departures Monday to Saturday, at 8:30 am and 1 pm.
It is in Javillos de Florencia, about 25 km from La Fortuna, on the road to Ciudad Quesada.
