Animal shelter in Argentina

Description

Volunteers contribute to the protection of endangered wildlife in the city of Casa Grande in the Córdoba region, a destination for sustainable tourism.

The refuge’s goal is to care for animals that have been victims of abuse or kept in captivity illegally.

Local school children also participate in workshops and awareness activities on environmental conservation organized by this project. The aim is to raise awareness about the condition of animals in the Córdoba region and throughout Argentina.

Through education and research, the organization has developed programs to improve the state of local wildlife and flora.

The refuge houses animals that have been trapped or are victims of exotic animal trafficking. Some of them are severely injured and can no longer survive in their natural habitat, so they remain at the center, while others can be healed and released.

The animals are free to roam within the 6km reserve. There is a protected area for pumas, two lakes where you can observe Argentine wildlife such as groups of capybaras… You can also see many other species such as eagles, toucans, parrots, guanacos, maras, swans, monkeys, deer,… The center is open to the public. School groups and families visit the reserve in their own cars.

The “Family” projects are adapted for children from 4 years old. Our advisors will provide personalized recommendations based on the age of your children, the destination, and the type of mission.
