Top Peru Attraction Tickets

Our family visited this beautiful place, and we enjoyed every minute of it. What a great place for animals to live! Many animals will be released if they can, and this is a major goal of theirs. However there are also many animals that are now too dependent on people and will live their lives here. While there are enclosures for specific animals, there is so much freedom for them to roam. They also work with other organizations for reproducing animals that are endangered or at risk, such as the spectacled bear and the Andean condor. We got to get so close with these animals, even pet many of them, as they are friendly and obviously happy and well cared for. What an incredible experience! Very kid friendly!!

Very first experience to learn about a variety of things focused on conservation and rescue.

If you are in #Cuzco #Peru go to the Santuario Animal de Cochahuasi.. 30m from town, locals giving a second chance to injured wild animals, returning them to the natural habitats once they are ready and taking care of others that won’t survive out there.

We began our visit by watching a short video about the history of this center. Our guide then took us to each of the enclosures where the animals are kept. We saw capybara, agouti, peccary, manatees, macaws, caiman, paiche (giant fish) and turtles. This center is best known for taking in manatees that have either been orphaned or rescued from captivity and preparing them to be released into the wild. We learned a lot and loved that they focus on educating the young children about the wildlife so hopefully future generations will not keep these creatures captive or eat them.

Off the beaten path little sanctuary was agreat way to spend an afternoon. A wonderful variety of local animals and the volunteers were so informative and excited to share their knowledge. Highly Recommend!

first of all, it was an amazing experience!! I would definetly recommend going there as a family, with friends or even with a lover! I personally went there with my family with 3 kids and my wife. my kids had so much fun there im really glad i booked a place there! the stuff there was really friendly towards us and even helped us when we had questions! I would love to go there again with my friends someday but sadly we live quite far away which means i cant go there for the next few years but i would definetly want to go there again! 10/10 experience!!

Great rescue that does important work. The biggest annoyance is the 45 min drive from Iquitos. We paid our mototaxi driver 80 Sols to drive us there, wait the 1.5 hour and return us to downtown Iquitos. We did not have issues like other reviewers with paying but we were clear that we’d pay once we returned to Iquitos. There was a large group of mototaxi’s waiting at the entrance but we were very thankful to have the return trip pre-arranged and pre-negotiated and not have to bargain our way back to the city.Beware the Centre’s sign is tiny and not easily visible from the road. Despite having it on our phone’s map, we didn’t see the center from the road. Our mototaxi drove past it and then had to double-back and asked for directions multiple times before we found it. It’s exactly where Google Maps has it marked but the entrance might be obscured from the trees and many mototaxis parked in front.Whether you get a private guide or are in a big group depends on the timing of your arrival. Go early or towards the end of day if you want to increase your chances of being in a small group. We ended up being lumped in with a large group of over 20 Spanish speakers. As the only English speakers the tour was predominantly in Spanish with only a little English thrown in for our benefit. The guides we met did speak excellent English and were very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. So it would be a much better experience if you are lucky enough to get a private tour.We weren’t sure how many animals there would be but there were sadly lots of animals that needed rehabilitating on our visit in March 2026. We saw 3 baby manatees, multiple caiman, dozens of turtles, an adult capybara, a peccary, 2 giant otters, 2 baby monkeys and hundreds of parrots and macaws. We felt the facilities were clean and appropriately outfitted given their goal is to release animals back into the wild as soon as possible. They were upfront about which animals are too injured to be released and I noticed those animals were in larger enclosures. They were clear on their no-touch rule which makes sense to improve each animal's chances to be re-wilded. I think the comments from visitors who felt the cages were small or dirty, don’t appreciate the scale of the work that this center does. We were happy to support this center and would recommend it to any animal lovers.

It was a great experience. We had a private English tour with Jessica who was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We saw and learned about manatees, birds, fish and the rescue and release efforts of the centre. Highly recommend a tour if you’re in Iquitos.

Do not have Carlos as your guide! I have visited this park atleast 10 times. It is well worth it to go. Their tank with Paiche fish is outstanding. The animals are well taken care of and you can see them up close before you head out to the jungle. However, this time I had a guide named Carlos and he was arrogant, full of himself and demeaning to anyone that asked questions. He is not concerned with you learning about the animals, rather, his goal is to be percieved as superior. He has an inflated ego. Other people there have just as much or more knowledge but are friendly, kind and want you to have a wonderful experience. It's great place - just avoid Carlos at all costs!

Went here with a friend and we equally love animals! The animals here are so well loved and you can tell they are taken care of very well! Would highly recommend making this apart of your Cusco adventures as all the money goes back to helping these beautiful animals!

Aurelio was a wonderful guide! We enjoyed feeding the llamas and alpacas the most. A great cause to patronize and a very cool activity not far from Cusco!

There is a regular tour and a premium tour. Had we known that, we would have gladly booked the additional activities (feeding turtles, parrots, etc.).

Our guide was very knowledgeable and they had a good variety of animals.

All of the staff were so kind and accommodating!

This was my favorite thing we did in Cusco. It is evident that everyone who works here is passionate about caring for the animals and I learned so much. Cannot recommend this experience enough.

Terrific Experience, Great Guide, Worth the VIP Tour ticket price, as it also goes to wuch an important cause!
