About the experience in: Alajuela, Costa Rica
Switzerland
I had a really good experience at Rescate Wildlife Center in Bosque Escondido. The people were kind and welcoming and i learned a lot about the animals, their enrichments, about wildlife conservation.
It‘s quite remote, and you spend most of the time in the forest. It can also be a nice change from the everyday life.
And even on your days off, the group often planned some activities together, which i found really cool. Theres‘s also a bar with a pool nearby.
Overall it was a cool and educational experience!

I had a great time at Rescate! Met some great people and had fun helping out with caring for the animals, feeding and creating enrichment. If you love animals and want to learn more about how to care for wildlife this is the place to go. Great for people that want to get away for the city and be immersed in nature while learning a lot. The accommodation is nice and you are provided with two meals from the restaurant and food to make breakfast. The hours are not long and you have time off to explore the area.

It's an incredible experience that teaches you a lot about the flora and fauna. The teams are great, and you always want to do more, although you're sometimes constrained by the managers' availability. I recommend ! Thank you

Working at Rescate has been a really great and enriching experience. I've learnt a lot about animals in general and the tasks are varied and interesting. Everyone has been incredibly kind, both the managers and the other interns I’ve met. I can only recommend Rescate!
