Osa Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Piedras Blancas, Costa Rica.
The 64-acre sanctuary extends along a secluded beach near Golfo Dulce, bordered by Piedras Blancas National Park and dense tropical vegetation.
The center opened in 2003 when Carol Patrick transformed an eco-lodge into a rehabilitation facility for injured and abandoned animals from the region.
The sanctuary connects with local communities who bring injured wildlife, forming a network of environmental protection across the Osa Peninsula.
Tours cost $25 per person and require advance reservations, with access limited to boat transportation between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
The facility includes individual playgrounds designed for each animal species, allowing natural behaviors while supporting rehabilitation before release.
