Kids Saving the Rainforest Wildlife Sanctuary
Kids Saving the Rainforest
A wildlife rescue center founded in 1999 by two local primary school students. It cares for injured sloths, monkeys and birds, and tours explain the rescue and release work.
Kids Saving the Rainforest began by selling handicrafts to raise funds to protect squirrel monkey habitat, and has since grown into a rescue and release center. It has also built monkey bridges over the road to reduce electrocutions and traffic accidents among wildlife. The guided tour lasts about 1.5 hours (approximately USD 45-65, reservation required), and you can see recovering sloths, capuchins and macaws up close. The fees go toward rescue work. Volunteer programs are also available. It is located on Naranjito Road, about 5 km north of Quepos.
