What you'll do

Leave Manuel Antonio in the morning and transfer to Kids Saving the Rainforest. You'll begin your tour of the wildlife sanctuary with your guide, learning about animal rescue and conservation along the way. Hear about the organization's recent projects like installing wildlife bridges, reforestation, and of course, the rescue and rehabilitation of displaced animals through their wildlife hospital.

As you meet some of the center's temporary animal residents, you'll learn about the dangers of human-wildlife interaction and the harms of the pet trade. You'll also meet full-time residents who cannot be released back into the wild due to various physical disabilities or unnatural behavior after being kept as illegal pets.
