    La proctor Asia wildlife

    This animal and bird sanctuary was fascinating. It was fun to see the interaction of the different species of monkeys and birds, etc. Our guide was very knowledgeable. This is a sanctuary for animals and birds that have been injured. It was a good tour to do in La Fortuna. Bring your bug spray.

    Great Experience and so welcoming

    Did the wildlife and volunteering tour this morning with Carlos. So informative but also lots of fun. Carlos had a great way of connecting with everybody - young and old whilst educating us all on the animals and the conservation they are doing. We helped make the breakfasts for the animals and learned so much about their behaviours - especially as we then went to watch the food be given out. Would totally recommend to go and visit - such a great project to support whilst having fun.

    Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue & Volunteer Center is worthwhile stop on the Costa Rica Adventure

    This is a great way to get a feel for how much Costa Rican's care about their animal residents. You will learn a lot about what is being done to conserve and protect Costa Rica in general. We learned a lot and really enjoyed being participants in the volunteer role. We came away with a great appreciation for Costa Rica from this visit.

    The best wildlife experience

    Attended today with our young family ages 6, 8 and 11 year olds. This was the highlight of our holiday. We got to see all the rescued animals, learn more about how to be more responsible with wildlife and got to feed the monkeys. We had an excellent tour guide, Carlos, who was very knowledgeable, kept the kids engaged and very friendly. Everyone who worked there was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back if I had the chance and highly recommend to anyone else in the area

    La Fortuna: Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center with transport: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.

    How much does La Fortuna: Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center with transport cost?

    +

    Prices start at $107 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does La Fortuna: Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center with transport take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.

    Is La Fortuna: Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center with transport worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule La Fortuna: Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center with transport?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is La Fortuna: Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center with transport suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book La Fortuna: Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center with transport?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does La Fortuna: Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center with transport start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Fortuna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in La Fortuna: Proyecto Asis Wildlife Rescue Center with transport?

    +

    Included: Round trip transportation; and Proyecto Asis Admission Ticket. Not included: Volunteer Tour - Available for an additional Fee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
