Visiting a wildlife rescue centre
WILDLIFE REFUGE
La Marina Wildlife Centre is a haven for wildlife conservation and eco-tourism. This unique sanctuary was founded by a group of passionate conservationists who wanted to protect the local flora and fauna while also educating visitors about the importance of preserving these natural resources. The centre covers an area of approximately 200 acres and is home to a variety of animals, including monkeys, pumas, tapirs, parrots, and macaws.
La Marina Wildlife Rescue Center (Spanish: Centro de Rescate De Vida Silvestre La Marina), or La Marina Zoo is an animal rescue centre located 8.5 km northeast of Ciudad Quesada, between Palmera and Aguas Zarcas, in the Alajuela Province of Costa Rica. The centre is dedicated to the rehabilitation of mistreated, injured, orphaned, and/or confiscated animals. Once the animals are fully rehabilitated, they are reintroduced into their natural habitats in protected areas within Costa Rica, primarily in the Parque Nacional Juan Castro Blanco to the south of the centre.
La Marina Wildlife Centre also offers a range of educational programs and activities, including guided nature walks, bird watching tours, and conservation. These programs are designed to promote a better understanding of the importance of preserving natural habitats and protecting the wildlife that depend on them.
In addition to its wildlife conservation efforts, La Marina Wildlife Centre is committed to sustainable eco-tourism practices. The centre has implemented several measures to reduce its environmental impact, such as using renewable energy sources and minimizing waste generation.
Visiting La Marina Wildlife Centre is a unique and unforgettable experience for nature lovers and anyone interested in wildlife conservation. The centre's commitment to preserving natural habitats and promoting sustainable tourism makes it a must-visit destination in Costa Rica. (Click the picture to see our video)
