We had a great experience at the rescue center and we have enjoyed every day we spent there. The owners and the staff of the center were so nice and helpful. It was a good mix of work and free time, with opportunities to do activities and go on trips every week. It’s been one of the best experiences of my life and would definitely recommend people to come to the rescue center and volunteer.

This is a very special and magical place. Let's start with that. If you decide to come and volunteer at the Rescue Center not only you'll be doing something meaningful, important and fun but also you'll be helping a lot of rescued animals that will be waiting for you. But it doesn't end there. The people you'll meet will become friends, the staff and everyone working there will become your family. You'll be able to enjoy dance classes, karaoke night and even Spanish lessons if you want to, and also choose excursions from a large variety of options because Costa Rica is beautiful, amazing and a great country to explore. I totally recommend you to choose this place as your volunteer project. Volunteering change lives, especially for the animals that need your help, but it will change yours too. This is a happy place! ❤️

I lived my best life experience at the rescue center. Everything is made for the volunteers to feel at home. We’re accompanied, activities often take place, excursions are amazing and affordable. Everyone tries their best to make the volunteers live an unforgettable experience. I advise you the center if you want to live an extraordinary human and animal adventure. At the animal level, the things to do are varied and numerous, there is a great diversity of animals and they are well treated. The center has a lot of species and working with them everyday allows to learn more about local species and the natural environment. We prepare food, we clean and make enrichments. I loved my experience and mission, and I’m sure to come back soon. Now, I have a new family ❤️ Pura vida !

We took a small group tour with biologist guide Eduardo, who was brimming over with knowledge and enthusiasm. We learned so much about Costa Rican wildlife and saw animals that we would never have encountered in the wild. We were really impressed by the dedication of the staff to caring for injured wildlife, rehabilitating them where possible, and educating us about the richness Costa Rica has to offer.

We arrived just in time for a guided tour; this was a filler excursion, if we had time, and we’re so glad we did. Our guide was thoughtful and explained each animal’s name and circumstances. Some were unfortunate, most were due to human interaction, which was just sad. But, they looked happy and taken care of, now.

Me and my friend were trying to find somewhere to see the Costa Rican wildlife in an ethical way. As tourists it can sometimes be hard to tell from a company’s website if they really are what they say but as soon as we arrived I knew we’d made the right choice! A really lovely guide showed us round and took the time to explain how and why each of the animals had ended up at the rescue centre and whether they were ever going to be released into the wild. I found it really educational and could tell he genuinely cared! Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to see, learn and support the great work that the rescue centre are doing! #noanimalselfies

I wouldn’t exactly call it a once in a lifetime opportunity as you will probably want to go back again just like I did. This is my second time at the rescue centre and it was as good if not better than my first, I have been there for a month each time. I have made life long friends and memories that I will hold close to me forever. It is my home across the seas. This is a great place for all especially young solo travelers. All the staff are the sweetest and most caring people you will ever meet, you can really tell how much of their hearts they have put towards the animals the centre as a whole. Venessa and Laura listen to very single volunteers suggestions and needs and did their absolute best to fulfill them. If you would like a make a difference to the world this is definitely the place to do it. You will learn so much about the importance of Costa Rican wildlife and conservation. There are also many great trips opportunities they arrange for you at additional costs that I’d definitely consider doing as they make it much easier then if you are doing it on your own. This way you get to see more of Costa Rica. Id recommend going for a minimum of 10 days as this allows you to fully take in everything they have at the centre. Thank you to all at the rescue I can’t wait to go back and see you all again. xx

It was such an awesome experience being at the rescue centre. I enjoyed it so much taking care of the animals and get to know different kinds work with the animals . I also met so many people from different countries here who are very friendly. Im sure I would come back one day to experience it all over 🦜

Five of us visited the Rescue Centre Costa Rica for a couple of hours. Parking was easy in front of the centre. Although it was quite expensive to go in, we had an interesting visit, and saw many different animals and birds.

The rescue centre is absolutely amazing place! I was there for a 3 weeks by myself and from there I’ve met the best people you could ask for! Staff are just the loveliest and are so helpful! The work you do is so rewarding and so inspiring! I loved working with all the different species at the sanctuary it was incredible! Room as pretty standard but comfy enough and if you are sharing a room means you get to meet new people so your not alone! I had 5 of the best mates I met there and we all had a blast together! I can’t thank them enough for an incredible experience! Thank you so much for making me feel at home!
