Proyecto Asis Half Day Tour with Volunteering

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.

Andres was our guide, and he was outstanding. His love for the animals in his charge is very clear. It was also obvious that he loves his job. All animals appear well cared for and loved. Part of the tour is the volunteering aspect. We assisted in preparation of the food for all the animals. It was already pre portioned and nutritional value was assessed. After we finished the preparation, we delivered the food to the animals. Note: there is no one on one interaction with the animals. Contact is minimal and only through their cages. You do not go inside the monkey enclosures, but you are permitted to go inside the toucan and macaw enclosures to put out their food. From what we were told, Costa Rican law forbids direct contact with endangered species. Nevertheless, this was a very enjoyable, informative and rewarding experience. I highly recommend it if you can find the time to fit it into your itinerary.

Fascinating learning about animals and a pleasure to be able to help feed them. Excellent work done here and staff great

Fun and educational.

Our guide for this tour was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and had a great sense of humor. I'm terrible with names and I should have written some of this stuff down, but that young man was incredible.
