Discover Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary

Join us for a guided educational tour and hear the stories of the animals who call our sanctuary home. Many of our residents arrived injured, orphaned or rescued from the illegal pet trade. Because their well-being comes first, guests are not allowed to feed or touch animals, following Costa Rican wildlife protection laws.

We focus on providing a natural, low-stress environment where animals can live safely while visitors observe them respectfully.

Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary proudly supports the #StopAnimalSelfies movement and promotes ethical wildlife tourism.

Every tour directly supports our rescue and rehabilitation work.
