Costa Rica Animal Rehabilitation

Costa Rica is a cultural and natural paradise, but most travelers only see its impersonal and touristy side. This Globe Aware Costa Rica volunteer travel programs offer a unique opportunity to help rescue and rehabilitate different native animals.

Projects

Volunteers live on site and help with many different essential tasks for the animal sanctuary. In the morning volunteers help prepare the fruits and vegetables for all the animals on site. They help feed and bathe the animals, especially the sick or injured ones who need special attention. Volunteers help to socialize animals staying in the sanctuary that cannot be replaced back into the wild as well by holding sloths and monkeys a few hours per day. After these duties have been completed, the volunteers help with other tasks around the sanctuary that may include yard work, cleaning, and helping care for their garden. Our volunteers will also take the animals out to play and exercise with them. These animals are being rehabilitated in order to be released back into their natural habitats.
