Learn about various wild creatures at Nosara Refuge for Wildlife, a rescue center for displaced, injured, and orphaned jungle animals established in 1999. The refuge aims to release animals back into the wild and administers long-term care for creatures that can’t go back their habitats. Watch for the refuge’s specialty--howler monkeys--of which there are many at the center. Be assured that your money goes toward the upkeep of a nonprofit organization and will directly benefit the animals. You will need an advanced reservation to visit the facility.
