You will be able to enter the tapir enclosures with the sanctuary’s caretakers. you will help them with their daily tasks, such as feeding and brushing the tapirs. They also love massages to help them relax and might even fall asleep if you are a good masseur.
You will enter the parrot enclosure to feed them and pick up their beautiful feathers from the ground, which you can take home as a souvenir.
You will also meet and feed the many monkeys, ocelots, coatis, ostriches, and all the animals that this place cares for.
The caretakers will share their stories with you and explain what they do every day to give the animals a better life.
