Traveler Comments
Hector was a wonderful, and friendly guide. He got us through the chopping and feeding really well and it took some doing.
Carlos was an awesome tour guide. I loved the message of appreciating nature and animals without needing to consume it for our own pleasures.
This was the highlight of our visit to Costa Rica. My husband also loved it and he was just doing it because I wanted to. The staff in the sanctuary are wonderful and passionate about what they do, and our guide (Carlos) injected humour into every situation. The volunterring is not that hard. All you have to do is cut up a few bowls of fruit and then feed it to the inhabitants of the sanctuary.
