Costa Rica's animal conservation efforts are sure to impress all nature lovers on this full-day Local Connections tour that visits both the Jaguar Animal Rescue Center and Puerto Vargas Ranger Station. Begin the day with a 60-minute motorcoach ride along the coast. Crafted by local expert, Encarnacion Gariía 'Encar', owner and founder of the Jaguar Animal Rescue Center in Puerto Viego, you'll set off on an interactive exploration of the varied wildlife that has found sanctuary on the grounds. Many of the animals found on this private eco-reserve and conservation center -including monkeys, sloths, deer, and a host of birds -are being rehabilitated so they can be released back into the wild. Your next stop is Puerto Vargas Ranger Station. Here, you'll enjoy a stunning nature walk through a lush rainforest with a naturalist expert guide. Return to port after this memorable day.
