We chose the Toucan Rescue ranch purely because it sounded so different from a regular B&B and it was within 45 minutes drive of the airport - perfect for your first night. Leslie and Jorge first and foremost run an animal rescue facility. It is not a zoo and neither is a five star resort - anyone expecting either of... More

I know everyone gushes over the turtles at Tortuguero, but our visit to the Toucan Rescue Ranch was much better than our turtle viewing experience. We had a personal 1.5 hour tour, with stories about each animal and their situation that required their care. The animals were beautiful, and the hostess was a wealth of information. No place else could... More

My mother and I stayed at the Toucan and Sloth rescue ranch. We had a great stay. Owners are informative and very helpful. They offered to help arrange taxi's/transport if needed as well. The new accommodations included a bunk bed, a queen bed and another bed. Enough for the whole family. There was a fridge and microwave if you want... More

I had read about the rescue ranch on the sight of my hotel for San Jose and had to come so I returned 1 night early from Manuel Antonio just to go visit this place. It was simply amazying. Me and my 8 year old grandson arrived and took the very imformative tour with Leslie (founder) She has many stories... More

We visited the Toucan Rescue Ranch during a recent month-long trip to CR and loved it! Leslie is a very good host and seems very passionate about what she does! We did not stay here but just came up for a tour. We got to see many different animals. In addition to rescuing toucans, Leslie rescues other animals as well.... More

Ready for something completely different? After soaking in hot tubs, backpacking jungles, a cruise, or perhaps too many fruity cocktails...try staying in the little guest house of a local family caring for the animals that local government institutions cannot rehabilitate. If you, or your children, would like to listen to private lectures given by someone who lives and works with... More

Our family had a great few hours at the ranch, learning about a wide variety of birds and beasts. Leslie and Jorge are sweet, caring people who have made many sacrifices to rescue and rehabilitate everything from toucans to sloths. I never expected the sloths to steal my heart, but they did. They are so laid back and innocent, seeming... More

The Toucan Rescue Ranch was our last stop on a 10 days trip through Costa Rica. I booked the guest house for me, my husband, and my mother-in-law based on the reviews here on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed! My mother-in-law came to CR primarily to see wildlife so reading about the rescue ranch it sounded perfect for us.... More

We stayed at the ranch one night before our departure from Costa Rica and had a great experience. Leslie and Jorge are delightful people and their story about the founding of the ranch and how they care for the birds and animals is truly inspirational. We couldn't stop smiling at the baby sloths, the monkey, Ralph the duck acting like... More
