Jaguar Rescue Center, Province of Limon, Costa Rica
5.0 (6.255 reviews) Sunday: 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM Spent Ranking #2 in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca Nature & Wildlife Tours
One of the best Costa Rica tours you can do
Amazing tour of an amazing facility. Our tour guide (Johnny) was knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic. We saw so many animals and it is great to know that they are all rescue animals, so not like a regular zoo. They take in about 1,000 distressed animals per year and most of the animals we see are the ones who cannot be sent back to the wild for health reasons. This was one of the best tours I have done in all my visits to Costa Rica, I highly recommend it. We took a taxi from Peurto Viejo to the facility, about a ten minute trip and took their public tour. You can do it through any of the tour companies, but we liked this flexibility of doing it on our own, and it was a bit cheaper.

Lovely animals
The tour was pleasant thanks to the lovely animals and the caring atmosphere at the rescue centre. It was also very educational as the guide gave us a lot of general information as well as stories of each animal living there. Do arrive early. They do tours at 09:30 and at 11:30. There are groups in several different languages (English, Spanish, and some more) but your group might fill up by the tour start time. If it does, you might be turned away. In the morning, you can buy a ticket for either 09:30 or 11:30 but their system doesn’t allow booking for future days. If the tickets are sold out and you speak more than one language, ask to join a group in the other language. For transport, you can use a bicycle (15min ride from PV and you can rent them for 6$ in PV), a bus (beware that they are not frequent and there was no bus to return to PV after the 09:30 tour), a tuk-tuk (about 3000 or 4000 colons from PV) or a taxi (price similar to tuk-tuk or +1000 colons). You can also walk which will take you around 1hr to/from PV.
