Great visit! - Benjamin gave us some good info on the animals that were rescued and brought to the sanctuary. We got to see up close and interact with the local wildlife that are native to Peru and the Andes, especially the famous Andean condors. This is a great visit if you want a short break from the many moderate level activities available in the Sacred Valley area.

Hope for animals in Peru at the Ccochauasi Shrine - I loved the visit to the shrine. They do a very important job of raising people’s awareness of animal recovery and care and possible release again if feasible. Thank you very much for the work you do in a country like Peru where animal welfare does not seem to be the priority of Peruvians at all. I recommend everyone visit this sanctuary and be clear about the difference between zoo and recovery center. We must take care of the land (Pachamama) and the animals that inhabit it. Special mention to the girl who is in charge of the box, who gave us the guided tour. I loved meeting you and seeing that you have a great heart and love for animals like us. You gave me hope after seeing how most Peruvians treat animals and how little respect they have for them. Thanks for doing what you do.

Interacting with Andes wildlife - Amazing Experience. We could see and interact with many snimals and birds native to peru and Andes including condors, puma, llama, alpaccas. The guide explained how these birds and animals are rescued during poaching attempts. They are then treated and released in the wild if possible.

Best of my ride - A wonderful place, full of good energy love and tranquility the people in charge very friendly, and so many an experience that definitely have to live and is a great help for this shelter and its little animals

- Top family experience in Cuzco!! We went with our two children (7 &10) and got to see up close condors, eagles, pumas, the "oso de anteojos' known in the UK as Paddington bear! monkeys, turtles, lamas, vicuñas, tucan, parrots, and more! The guides were super knowledgeable and friendly. We paid for the animal encounter which allowed us to feed the animals. The proceeds go towards the rehabilitation of the animals and to re-introduce them into the wild. It was interesting to hear the stories of how the animals were rescued and how they are recovering.

Animal Sanctuary - What an excellent place for these animals. The sanctuary takes good care of the animals and you can tell the animals are very comfortable with their caretakers. The sanctuary helps give these animals a safe place to heal and get well with hopes of returning to the wild.

Santuario Animal - A place that everyone needs to visit and help, are rescued animals and in the Sanctuary are having treatment and care, congratulations to those involved.

Unique animals, ethics unknown - We chose to come here to see the wildlife native to Peru we wouldn’t see otherwise like the pumas, condors, and Andean bears. It was really neat to see these animals. However, the tour we received at 3:30p (1.5 hrs before close) felt like we came at 4:59. It was only about 10 min and based on what other people are saying including our taxi driver, that is not normal. Feel a little cheated. We walked back to the beginning and looked at what animals we could for a few minutes longer. We paid a taxi to drive 35 min there, wait for up to an hour and a half and drive 35 min back because of the recommendation of our hotel concierge, reviews, and taxi company recommendation. We were there for maybe 30 min because of this shortened time, we paid a lot of money and spent more time in the car and for the taxi than at the sanctuary. I will say that the guide explained that the majority of the animals at least right now, are not getting released into the wild for various reasons that make sense. So I think they have helped at least a portion of the animals in a legit manner and are protecting them. The logistics behind the program and protection and veterinary care weren’t described. But again, you likely won’t see these animals anywhere else.

Pass your way, it’s really not worth it! No point. - Very disappointing animals are locked in small spaces, the premises are poorly maintained and dirty. It is not a sanctuary at all, but rather the continuity of the abuse that animals had suffered before.
