I had a great time at the reserve, everybody was nice, welcoming and helpful from the start and I felt home right away. The tasks are easy, preparing and distributing the meal for the animals and it was fun and instructive being a part of it. The afternoons and weekends are free so you can go to the markets or explore the beautiful nature surrounding Santa Cruz. I would absolutely recommend spending your time there!

It was a good experience (my first one), everyone was nice, I had a great time. I'd 100% recommend it for anyone who loves animals. The only thing that I think could be improved regards the facilities that we had in the shelter. The rooms could've been cleaner and the shower could've worked better. Except those two things, I had a really good time !

Our experience at See the reserve was very rewarding and fun. We feel like we were able to contribute to the ongoing wellbeing of the animals by getting involved with projects to repair and enhance some enclosures. The animals are very well cared for by the team. It was a lovely week surrounded by great people and beautiful animals.

This was a great first volunteer experience. From the time we arrived we were welcomed and involved with the team. Daniela does an outstanding job of caring for the animals. With her extensive knowledge, she educates and encourages volunteers to get involved. The university students who also volunteer are amazing people also knowledgeable and dedicated. The animals at the refuge are part of the family and you really miss them when you leave. I would and have recommended this experience to others as it is very humbling and educational.

Overall amazing experience. The host is super - great communication and knows how to take care of the volunteers. We met a lot of really nice locals and internationals which made the experience even more enjoyable. The work they do at the reserve is truly important and a great cause and we were happy to contribute. Only point of improvement relates to the facilities. The overall infrastructure is quite dirty and could be ameliorated. However, if overall you like animals, nature, and meeting nice people, the reserve is definitely for you.
