Unforgettable, inspiring, and just so COOL! - This sanctuary was not only amazing and impressively managed by people who are clearly knowledgeable and care, but it’s probably one of the experiences I’ll remember forever (the good, the service, the landscape and all the textiles were beautiful, unique, and so professional (here I’m thinking of the service)). But, if you are in the Cuzco area, I could not recommend this more. Not only did we get excellent close up pics of the animals, but we even got some curious monkeys (arranged by our guide) to climb all over us. An unforgettable and inspiring experience.

For animal lovers and those that are interested in Peruvian Wildlife - Wonderful program to help Condors and rescue and rehabilitate native species.
Very thoughtful and informative tour of facility and the stories of the inhabitants by Alberto.

Heartwarming - Worth the time to visit a great place doing great work. Enjoy the explanation of what they do, where the animals came from as far as the condition and the plan to re-release back into the wild.

Great last minute activity! - Our flight was pushed to an earlier time so our original excursion had to be cancelled. I found this sanctuary and booked the tickets immediately. Loved the tour! I run an animal shelter in the US and I was excited to see the great work the sanctuary is doing.

Great people doing great work - Albert and the sanctuary staff are doing great work providing for rescued animals and where possible releasing them back into the wild. The sanctuary is small and privately funded - they clearly feel a passion for their valuable work and share that passion with their visitors. Animal lovers and those interested in Peruvian animals will greatly enjoy this experience.

A must see for the animal lover - I really enjoyed the sanctuary, it was beyond what I expected. The guide Alberto was wonderful in telling me about the sanctuary - the history, the animals and their care and rescue and release plans. This was the perfect last experience before leaving Cusco. My favorite was seeing the condor in flight!

A must for kids and adults alike! - Special, up-close experience with local animals and a private tour guide. Our guide, Albert, did an amazing job explaining everything to us, and he was extremely patient, giving us plenty of time to feed and interact with the animals. The front door pick-up service also made the entire visit that much easier, and our driver, Jhoao, was very friendly and had an immaculately clean car. Would highly recommended this to anyone visiting in the area, especially those with kids or teens.

False advertising - It was a nice experience and I am glad my money went to a good cause, however, it was disappointing because I paid $65 and the description of what was included said feeding llamas and alpacas, experience with turtles and experience with macaws. However, I did not get to experience any of that so I feel like I did not get my money’s worth.
Fue una experiencia agradable y me alegra que mi dinero haya ido a una buena causa. Sin embargo, fue decepcionante porque pagué 65 dólares y la descripción de lo que estaba incluido decÃa alimentar llamas y alpacas, experiencia con tortugas y experiencia con guacamayos. Sin embargo, no pude experimentar nada de eso, asà que siento que no obtuve el valor de mi dinero.
