Day 1: Your experience begins the moment your arrive at the Toucan Rescue Ranch! Enjoy a hearty lunch, then take a private guided tour of the facilities. Learn firsthand about the rescue and rehabilitation of wild animals when you see the clinic and their patients. You'll also have the opportunity to meet some of the ranch's juvenile animals — including charming and gentle sloths! Following this private tour, you can support the ranch by assiting with the basic chores that are crucial to daily operations.

The Toucan Rescue Ranch takes care of Costa Rica's wildlife by offering:

  • Administration of Medicine
  • Anesthesia
  • Amputation
  • Biopsies
  • Emergency Care
  • Parasitic Evaluation
  • Physicals
  • Stitching
  • Surgery

Your first day closes with a dinner at a local restaurant, which will be attended by the ranch's original staff. You will then return to the ranch's guest house for a good night's sleep.

Day 2: Rise and shine! The animals of the forest are greeting the morning Sun, and you should too. Today, you'll start with a hearty Costa Rican breakfast, then visit the ranch's release site. This is where animals who have been treated or rehabilitated go when they are ready to go back home to mother nature. It will take about 60 minutes (1 hour) to reach this destination, which is thorugh the Braulio Carrillo National Park.

This guided tour takes you through the jungle whilst teaching about the ranch's release program — way more interesting than listening to a lecture in a conference room! After this rugged adventure, you'll return to the guest house where you can relax or enjoy the surrounding beauty of the Heredia Province at your leisure.
