A combination of a world-renowned animal rescue center and one of the best beaches in the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. You will be picked up from your hotel and transported to the Jaguar Rescue Center. This nature reserve rescues and rehabilitates a variety of mistreated, injured and confiscated animals which are then reintroduced into their natural habitat in protected areas throughout the country. Learn about some of the amazing work this wildlife reserve has done over the past 15 years and meet some of the permanent and temporary residents of this facility. This is also one of the few places where you will have direct contact with a variety of  native animals including monkeys, wild cats, sloths, raccoons, anteaters, macaws, reptiles, and more. You’ll also be pleased to know that part of the proceeds of this tour contributes directly to the operation of the facility.
