Founded by children in 1999 to protect local wildlife, this sanctuary rehabilitates injured sloths, monkeys, and birds and offers educational tours that resonate strongly with kids ages 4 and up. Guided tours last about 1 hour and cost approximately $15 USD per person with proceeds supporting rehabilitation directly. Advance reservations via their website are recommended as tour sizes are kept small. The paths are flat and shaded but not stroller-accessible due to uneven terrain; a carrier works well for toddlers. The mission-driven story behind the sanctuary makes for a great conversation with kids about conservation and responsibility.
