Wonderful experience - We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off there after the tour. The animal sanctuary was wonderful. We had a private tour and were able to feed most of the animals. We learned about all the animals and how they rehabilitated them and released them. The highlight was having a condor fly over our heads!

Visit for a warm, full, and happy heart! - Must see if you care about animals. So powerful to hear their stories and how far each of them have come. Spending time with them is honestly the best thing I did in Peru and that which gave me the most positive energy. Will be back with my husband. I miss all of them already!

Great experience!! - We really appreciated that to the VIP included transport from our hotel. It was easy and well communicated. Once we arrive, we were greeted by an English speaking guide that let us take our time to experience and learn about each animal rescue. We had an opportunity to feed them and Marvel around the sanctuary.

One of the best experiences in Cusco - This is such a great experience. To see native animals of Peru up close and feed some of them was amazing. They are doing great and critical work If you are in the area it’s more than worth the short drive up to see the animals. If you have kids feeding the turtles, alpacas and parrots is a great memory.

We loved it!! - The experience was GREAT! We fed the turtles, the alpacas, the llamas and the birds. The guide was friendly and was answering all of our questions. The work they are doing to help, rehabilitate and even release these animals is incredible. We strongly recommend.

Interesting tour with many wildlife such as parrots, cormorants and pumas. Definitely recommended for me. - The zoo exceeded my expectations. We got a private tour for 2 people and were able to feed turtles, alpacas and llamas. Also the parrots flying around freely were great.

Well worth a visit - Enjoyed my visit to the Sanctuary. There was a wonderful range of animals and my guide was so knowledgeable about the individual animals in the sanctuary and animals in general. I enjoyed feeding the animals and getting up close and personal with the native animals in Peru

We loved Cochahuasi and... - We loved Cochahuasi and it's a great way to spend an afternoon or morning, just 30-40 minutes from Cusco. There are plenty of animals to see, many of the out in the open. The sanctuary does a terrific job caring for an rehabilitating animals which have been abused and trafficked. The dedicated staff do an important job and their dedication is obvious. Plus it's fun feeding the animals and sitting in the huge cage learning about the animals as a condor flies past. Our thanks to Aurelio at Cochahuasi and Mario the driver
