TRR works with a model that focuses on conservation, education, and research to ensure a brighter tomorrow for Costa Rica wildlife. VISITS REQUIRE A RESERVATION.

The Toucan Rescue Ranch works closely with the Ministry of Environment and Energy of Costa Rica (MINAE) who brings injured and displaced wildlife to the center. TRR provides sanctuary while giving treatment, rehabilitation, and when possible, release to their natural environment. The Toucan Rescue Ranch is a licenses Costa Rica wildlife rescue facility, Costa Rica foundation (300667701803) and a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (EIN: 80-0516453).
We took a 2-hour tour of Toucan Ranch and were so impressed, very knowledgeable and passionate tour guide, cutest animals ever, loved the sloths and their "nursery up thru college" training. I would love to go back to volunteer and stay in their guest house. They are doing very important work there, and it was a great way to see nature up close. Much better setting than a zoo -- for both animals and people!

This BBC Wildlife Magazine and National Geographic published destination offers a 2 hour guided tour by the owners. $40 per person.
This was the most amazing experience of bird watching I have seen. It is set up with platforms at the top of a hill next to a valley so that you are at canopy height where the birds hang out. We saw many birds up close and then took a short hike on a trail in the valley where we saw frogs, lizards, and butterflies. Dave Jr. was our guide and was great explaining everything we saw. I would most highly recommend stopping at Dave and Dave's for a couple hours. It will be well worth it.

A real true gem in Santa Bárbara de Heredia. The property is beautiful, but most of all it is nicely managed. The themed terraces offer a beautiful option to learn about different plants. We really enjoyed the self guided tour though the botanical gardens. Pretty much every plant and every tree is labeled with accurate information. In our visit, we took the lunch option. Food quality was top notch, and service was impeccable. The main building is spacious and sober. The restaurant is well ventilated and has beautiful views of the central valley. We ended up our day with a visit to the Meadery, where we were treated nicely by Michael and Alejandra, who explained the mead making process to us and offered a free tasting of a wonderful Jabuticaba mead. We had an amazing time.

It started about 10 years ago as a butterfly farming project for export. Over time it was transforming into an area that offers a diversity of environments allowing for a wide range of niches where there are many species, ceasing to be a simple butterfly to become a true Ecological Garden. Apart from a butterfly and frog garden, we offer bird watching tours, wildlife spotting, and a camping site.
From a 20x20 M plot of bare land in 1995 to the lush rainforest it is today, William and Krystal have grown a thriving butterfly operation and the tour they gave us was totally eye opening. How could the vegetation grow this lush in such a short time, with such an abundance of varieties of both flora and the beautiful butterflies?! It’s beautiful. It is obvious this is more than a business to them as their passion for this forest and its residents suffuses all their stories and the excitement they express in their explanations. They are reclaiming the rainforest. Beyond learning the lifecycle of butterflies and seeing so many varieties in their stages of development, William showed us a sloth, and found for us the rare white bats (tiny little white bundles nesting on the underside of a heliconia leaf). Then Krystal took over and pointed out colorful frogs and birds she located by their calls. As if the personal tour wasn’t enough, Krystal showed us how chocolate is made, using cacao pods from the trees growing on their land, then fed us a delicious (and bountiful) typical casado lunch.
