Chiriquí Province is a mountainous wonderland, located near the Barú Volcano.

More relaxed activities, such as coffee plantation tours and bird-watching, also are available here. To reach Chiriquí, you’ll likely pass through David, Panama’s third-largest city.

We were shown around by Austin and he allowed to feed some animals. Through the tour it gets obvious that all animals were rescued at point and are being rehabilitated. Some were found with broken wings, were blind or sick. The team does an amazing job with rescuing the animals and the stories are truly heart warming. Austin took a lot of time to make sure we know about everything we wanted to hear. We were able to get close to some very rare animals that are native only in this part of the world which was a great experience.Even though the park is not very big, it is a must do for animal lovers as you rarely will ever come so close to these kind of animals. I highly recommend this experience to animal lovers, families or anyone curious about animal rescue.

Excellent spot to spend an afternoon! We drove there from Boquete approx 30 minutes. A car pays 2$ for the day to enter. Totally worth it. Clean, fun lots of locals but no washrooms. One of the best days spent in and around Boquete.
