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!!

Wild animal sanctuary in Cusco
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.

Great Peruvian animal sanctuary
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!!

Yay Alpacas!
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...
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!

Fantastic
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.).

All the furry (and feathered) friends!
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.
