The Best Costa Rica Wildlife Tour: Visit Proyecto Asis in La Fortuna

If you’re looking for the most meaningful and authentic Costa Rica wildlife tour, Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center in La Fortuna is the ultimate destination. Nestled in the lush rainforest near Arenal Volcano, Proyecto Asis offers a unique opportunity to connect with rescued animals and contribute to real conservation efforts.

Our Costa Rica wildlife tour begins with a warm welcome from one of our expert naturalist guides. You’ll receive a brief introduction to Proyecto Asis and its mission: to rescue, rehabilitate, and, when possible, release native wildlife affected by illegal pet trade and habitat loss. Unlike a zoo, Proyecto Asis is a fully operational sanctuary with a strong focus on education, animal welfare, and community impact.

During this 2-hour tour, you’ll walk through the reserve and meet monkeys, sloths, toucans, macaws, peccaries, and other animals. Each has a unique story, and your guide will share details about their journey, behaviors, and the role humans play in their survival. This isn’t just sightseeing — it’s an immersive educational experience designed to help you understand the importance of ethical wildlife tourism and environmental stewardship.

Proyecto Asis is ideal for all ages and especially popular among families with children. With over 1,900 five-star reviews on TripAdvisor and Google, it’s one of Costa Rica’s top-rated wildlife experiences. Our guests consistently highlight the knowledgeable guides, personal stories, and the sanctuary’s compassionate approach to wildlife care.

Want to take your experience further? Choose the volunteer add-on, where you’ll help prepare food and feed the animals. It’s a hands-on activity that brings you even closer to the animals and their care routines—highly recommended for those seeking a deeper impact during their visit.
