I wish them the very best

Yana Cocha has fulfilled every thing I ever wanted from my volunteer experience with wildlife. I wish them the very best and hope goeco continues to help their great rescue mission with help from volunteers the best possible way you can.

The most memorable experience i am taking home from the sanctuary is the release of the scooter monkeys & turtles. It's such an overwhelming experience.. To know that the teams work along w the monkeys will, to return to a place they once called home.

The wildlife Sanctuary was an amazing experience and not only did I get to connect with amazing volunteers from around the world, I also got to connect with amazing animals. everything was so hands on and personal, and the experience has definitely changed me.
