Alturas Wildlife

Experience summary

The Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary is more than just a tour — it's an invitation to witness the power of compassion in action. This non-profit sanctuary rescues, rehabilitates, and releases injured and orphaned animals from across the Osa Peninsula. Every cent from your visit goes directly toward the care of animals in need. Walking through the sanctuary, you'll come face to face with sloths hanging peacefully overhead, toucans with their brilliant beaks, and spider monkeys swinging through the trees — each one a survivor with a story worth knowing.
