Meet rescued animals at Proyecto Asís and take part in their daily care, from preparing diets to building enrichment toys, in a hands-on experience ideal for families.
Visit Proyecto Asís, a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center where you not only observe the animals in its care but also take part in their daily recovery. The experience begins with an introduction to the center's work, followed by a guided walk along the reserve's trails. At each stop, your guide shares the story of the animals you meet, how they arrived at the center, and why conservation matters for Costa Rica's wildlife.
After a snack, the volunteer portion begins. Learn how staff prepare each animal's diet and why proper nutrition is central to animal welfare, then help build enrichment toys designed to encourage natural behaviors and keep each species active and engaged. Feeding is done by trained staff only, following Ministry of Environment guidelines, and you will observe the process from a distance for the animals scheduled that day.
A traditional Costa Rican lunch is included. Recommended for all ages and especially well suited to families with younger children, this experience offers a hands-on look at the care that goes into returning rescued animals to the wild.

Around twelve years in Costa Rican tourism. On the drive between Guanacaste and Arenal he points out how fast the landscape and climate change, and shares the history of both regions along the way. His picks: the Palo Verde boat safari and Rincón de la Vieja's Pailas trail.
Twenty years guiding Costa Rica as a general and naturalist guide, with a special passion for botany: he points out plant adaptations, ecological relationships and the quiet work that trees, flowers and lianas do in the ecosystem. His favorite day is Palo Verde, where wildlife, tropical wetlands, cultural traditions and history meet — and the birdlife is spectacular.
Twenty-two years in tourism, from restaurants to tour sales to driving and guiding. Místico is his favorite trail: rich in wildlife, easy to walk, and full of the forest's secrets. On transfers north he loves the moment the dry Pacific crosses an invisible line into rainforest green.
