Animal Sanctuary / Discovery Pass

Our Animal Sanctuary is Guanacastes largest, and was constructed in partnership with La Paz Waterfall Gardens. Guests can interact with animals with up close viewing and even attend a feeding. The Sanctuary is home to the largest variety of species in one location. The residents in the animal sanctuary are all rescue animals and include: Sloths, Monkeys, Pumas, Jaguars, Toucans and more. We have dozens of species of frogs, snakes, birds and a world-class butterfly observatory. All rescue animals were donated by MINAE, the Costa Rican Ministry of Wildlife. In many cases the animals were held in less than adequate facilities and faced difficult circumstances. We are against the capture or trade of illegally confiscated animals and along with our partners at Waterfall Gardens; we are working to release offspring of some of the animals into protected zones across Costa Rica.
