Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary, Dominical

Very clean and spacious location for animals to be rehabilitated then released (if possible). The staff is very friendly and allows travelers to volunteer, must follow procedures before entering areas with animals. The people who work there have a massive amount of passion for what they do, it's really beautiful to witness. After returning from my trip, other friends asked if I stopped here, both were inspired by their time at the wildlife Sanctuary

A truly special experience for us and our kids. We all learned a lot and you get pretty close to some of the animals you may have seen from afar in the area. I really like how one of the interns asked pointed questions at the end about how to make the tour even better. They really put a lot of effort and care into the mission. Pro tip - bring swim trunks, walk back into the hotel after the tour, order a meal or a drink, and jump in the pool with the sweeping coastal views for he rest of the afternoon.
