Fodor's Expert Review Tree of Life Wildlife Rescue Center

Capuchin and howler monkeys, peccaries, sloths, iguanas, raccoons—they're all here at this wildlife sanctuary just off the Playa Negra road. As much as possible, the goal is to reintroduce these rescued animals back to nature, although the fragile condition of some means this will be their permanent home. Your admission for an 11 am guided tour supports the good work these folks do. As is the case in such facilities, visitors may not touch or hold the animals.
