Located just outside the small city of Cañas along the Inter-Americana Highway is Las Pumas Rescue Center (Centro Rescate Las Pumas). Las Pumas provides a temporary, or sometimes permanent, home for wild cats and other animals that have been injured, rescued, orphaned, or confiscated in the illegal pet trade. Like many rescue centers, this one began with the passion of one individual and grew.

About an hour and a half away, near Cañas, there is a shelter that rescues, rehabilitates and releases animals. They specialize in wild cats. However not all animals are able to be released in the wild so Las Pumas also provides a safe and humane home for those that cannot. They currently are home to five of the six species of wild cats native to Costa Rica, as well as other permanent residents like monkeys, otter, deer, macaws and parrots. The enclosures are large and mimic the animals’ natural environments. While you can do a self-guided tour, the Center offers free guided tours. These are subject to availability, so you need to reserve in advance by phone or by email. Visitor fees, gift shop purchases and donations help support the foundation’s work. The center isn’t huge but if you’re in the area for rafting or waterfalls, it’s certainly worth a stop. The cats are fed at 2:30pm so that’s a good time to visit to see them active. Bring water and bug spray. Visit their website to learn more about the important work they do at the Rescue Center and sanctuary to save wildlife and educate the public: www.centrorescatelaspumas.org.

Just 20 to 25 min. away driving, at this +30 year old Wildlife Rescue Center you can see jaguars, pumas, other felines and local wild animals. Inexpensive and worth seeing. It is NOT a zoo, it is a rescue center, which means that the animals you will see are there only because, for specific reasons, these animals can not be returned to their natural environment.

El Centro de Rescate y Santuario Las Pumas fue fundado por una pareja de suizos: Don Werner Hagnauer y su esposa Lilly Bodmer de Hagnauer. Ellos migraron de Suiza a Costa Rica en 1959, pues Don Werner vino a trabajar en la conocida Hacienda La Pacífica en Cañas, Guanacaste. En el año 1971 compraron la Hacienda, continuando con el proyecto de ganadería sostenible con el medio ambiente. En esa época, la deforestación en Guanacaste estaba en su auge, por lo que muchos animales silvestres perdieron su hábitat o fueron capturados por los habitantes de la zona para tenerlos como mascotas en la casa o traficarlos ilegalmente. Por esto, Doña Lilly, quién siempre tuvo una visión conservacionista, empezó a recibir animales silvestres traídos por personas de la zona, funcionarios del Ministerio de Ambiente y Energía (MINAE) e incluso en algunas ocasiones compraba los animales para salvarles la vida y darles un cuido adecuado. En 1985, decidieron vender la Hacienda y mantuvieron un área de aproximadamente 25 Ha, donde en 1989 fundaron lo actualmente conocido como el Centro de Rescate y Santuario Las Pumas. Doña Lilly fallecío en el año 2001 y Don Werner en el año 2015; sin embargo, ambos dejaron un legado invaluable para la conservación de la vida silvestre de nuestro país: el Centro de Rescate y Santuario Las Pumas.
