We came here after being dissuaded from going to the Sloth Sanctuary after hearing lots of bad things (do your research first!) and I'm very glad we went. We were shown around by one of the owners on a private tour and she told us so much about the plants and flowers growing, was absolutely fascinating! The facilities and enclosures... More

This is a lovely center, offering an educational and highly visual experience of the local wildlife and plants of all types. I was lucky enough to have a guided tour of the center with the director of the program. Patrice, who is very knowledgeable and cares deeply for the animals in the center. The work they are doing here to... More

We were amazed to be greated by a baby monkey, very cheeky (Ruth, I think) who was orphaned and been looked after by the staff to make sure that she is strong enough to go back to the open. The gound is beautifully set up which make it very pleasant way to see animals closed up and to discover the... More

Natural settings. Only a few animals in enclosed cages. Lots of room and natural foods. Attention paid to natural plants and to educating people about the environment. Met Patricia who was looking after Maggie the baby Howler Monkey. She explained how rehabilitation works and why some can be released and some cannot. Good luck in the future Patricia!

We visited the rescue center on a dreary rainy day, but enjoyed the self tour and the owner was very helpful in explaining how the different animals were rescued and when they released them. She also provided a FREE UMBRELLA and the entrance fee all went to provisions for the animals she said.

This Dutch lady and her partner care about animals...pay them a visit, about 2,5km from Cahuita along the coastal road, just follow the signs... Very much worth it!

We went there to the morning tour and had the chance to see and hold many animles, and learn more about them.

This is a wonderful tour given by Patricia. She does a wonderful job explaining all the plans and animals to you. It is like an upgraded version of a zoo because all of the animals are rescue animals. Because they are rescue animals you get to see some very interesting animals that you would not normally get to see. My... More
