SHORE EXCURSION: Costa Rica Wildlfe Encounter: Visit to ZooAve
PORT OF CALL : PUNTARENAS & CALDERA












DESCRIPTION:

Have a great day in Costa Rica taking part of this amazing Puntarenas Tour, specially designed for the whole family. Leaving from the Puntarenas pier at 8:00 AM, you will enjoy the picturesque Pan-American Highway on the way to San Jose. After 90 minutes bus ride, we will get the town of La Garita de Alajuela where this special place is located.

Zoo Ave Wildlife Conservation Park is one of three wildlife projects owned and operated by the Nature Restoration Foundation (NRF).  It is an officially recognized Costa Rican wildlife rescue center and premier zoological facility. The park hosts over 60,000 visitors every year, the vast majority of which (95%) are Costa Rican Nationals. Over the past decade (since 1990), Zoo Ave has worked to preserve native flora and fauna through wildlife rehabilitation, captive breeding, release of native species and operation of the zoological garden. The Zoo itself is designed to educate the public about conservation and to display native Costa Rican species in a healthy and respectful manner.

VISITING ZOO AVE: The Zoological Park is open everyday from 9am to 5pm. Visitors will see a variety of native and exotic species of animals housed in spacious, natural settings. The Zoo offers the public a chance to view Costa Rican gems such as the Resplendent Quetzal and the prehistoric relic the American Crocodile. In addition, several exotic species are on exhibit which includes African wildlife such as the ostrich and patas monkeys. Visitors are encouraged to stroll through the beautifully landscaped park to view and learn about these wonderful animals.
 

After this educational experience and on the way back to the pier, you will have the opportunity to visit a lovely souvenir shop, a butterfly garden and if you want, taste the local flavours of Costa Rica in a very nice typical restaurant. (Meals are not included).
