What you'll do

Proyecto Asis, a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center, is a great place to visit even if your time is limited. The organization was established in January 2022 to protect local wildlife and promote environmental conservation. The center also features a Spanish school where students can immerse themselves in Costa Rican culture and language and a volunteer program providing opportunities for travelers to get involved in environmental conservation through community service.

After a transfer from La Fortuna, receive your naturalist guide's overview of the organization. Then you'll tour the grounds, observing a variety of temporary residents — including monkeys, sloths, anteaters, reptiles, birds, and more — and learning about wildlife conservation.

Lunch is included in the excursion. After several hours at Proyecto Asis, you'll return to La Fortuna with a newfound understanding of Costa Rica's wildlife and the importance of protecting the animals' natural habitats.
