I only stayed for one week but it was a really great time. Everyone is very nice and it's cool to be so close to all the wild animals, I really enjoyed looking after the baby monkey. I would reccomend you go to las lajas waterfall it was very beautiful.

This was my first volunteer program and i thought it was perfect. Fanny was so sweet and it was fun taking care of the animals. Really cool to see the babymonkey have progress as you're taking care and training her :) Thank you so much for this experience :)

I would recommend volunteering at the shelter. Most of the work is preparing food and feeding cool animals. You get your own room, delicious meals, and staff/other volunteers are very friendly.

I loved my time at Zoo the shelter and would highly recommend, especially if you are also an animal lover! Fanny, Willian, Josep, and the zoo keepers are all such lovely people who will really make sure you have a good experience. I really enjoyed working with the animals, and you have a good diversity every day in which ones you help with. The trip to the rainforest and Indigenous communities was also a huge highlight for me! For food, they were super accommodating of me being vegetarian! For housing, it was pretty nice and had all the basic needs.

I absolutely loved this volunteer experience! Working so closely with the animals was incredible, and I met so many kind and welcoming people. Fanny is such a wonderful person, always ready to help with anything you need. The other zookeepers were also great, even if you don't speak Spanish very well! I stayed for six weeks and would highly recommend it. After about three weeks you really get the hang of everything, and you're able to take on more responsibilities than in the beginning when you're still learning. I truly recommend this experience to everyone!

I had a great time at zoorefurgio the shelter. Even though I don't speak much Spanish, I could somehow communicate with every staff member and made funny memories. The tasks varied each day depending on how fast you were. Furthermore the region provides many activities for weekends.

Great place to be, incredibly memorable experience getting to take care of and interact with the animals, especially the coatis and the monkeys. Lunch and dinner are delicious and the volunteers house is nice and well appointed.

We loved our experience here! A real opportunity to connect with the animals and staff. Some days you work a little more, some days you work a little less, and the team are always super supportive and show you exactly how to get the job done. The volunteer house has great showers, and my husband and I had a room to ourselves - there's also plenty of common space to hang out with the other volunteers and chances to hang out with the staff outside of working hours too! A very rewarding experience, and we would definitely (and already have) recommend this to others.
