Puntarenas: Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary Tour + Organic Drink｜Costa Rica

Begin your experience by checking in at the reception area and enjoying an organic welcome drink. Learn about the sanctuary's mission, rescue work, rehabilitation efforts, and ethical tourism rules.

Next, embark on a guided walk through the sanctuary. See resident animals and hear their individual rescue stories. Many arrived injured, orphaned, or were rescued from the illegal pet trade.

Animal welfare comes first, so the visit focuses on respectful observation in a natural, low-stress setting. In line with Costa Rican wildlife protection laws, guests are not allowed to touch or feed any animals. Alturas proudly supports the #StopAnimalSelfies movement and promotes ethical wildlife tourism that inspires conservation.

Every tour directly contributes to the sanctuary’s mission, helping rescue hundreds of animals each year and giving many a second chance to return to the wild. A meaningful experience for families and nature lovers.
