Cochahuasi Animal Sanctuary (Santuario Animal de Cochahuasi) Tours and Tickets

First off it doesn't look like a Sanctuary. The animals are in cages and the living areas are quite small. It was only after a caretaker came and showed us around did we learn how abused the animals were prior to being rescued and placed here. For example 2 of the pumas were in Lima at a Disco club and had their teeth and claws removed :( the sanctuary rescued them and actually made dentures for them so they can now eat meat. There are bears, condors, pumas, monkeys, llamas and alpacas as some of the bigger animals to see. One thing to note, if you pay at the Sanctuary it's 20soles per person vs $10usd per person here on Viator. Definitely a good cause to support either way.

This place is absolutely amazing! The owner walked us through the sanctuary and answered all of our questions. We got to feed and pet the alpacas which was a highlight! It was also very cool to see condors so close up. They have all kinds of animals from across the Andes that they have rescued and are rehabilitating. They release the animals they can and take care of those they can’t. We took a taxi from Cusco and had Our driver wait while we were in the sanctuary and he took us back to Cusco for about 100 soles total) Super easy and fun afternoon trip for a great cause!
