Güirá Oga Wild Animals Shelter Day Trip

At 10 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Iguazú and take you to the Güirá Oga Wild Animals Shelter in the outskirts of the city.

The Güirá Oga centre, meaning "the house of birds" in Guaraní, is surrounded by jungle and was founded in 1997 by Jorge Anfuso and Silvia Elsegood. They specialize in the rehabilitation of birds of prey and other animals.

You'll visit the shelter's facilities and discover how animals from Iguazú and the Argentine province of Misiones are cared for. Güirá Oga is not a zoo, but a centre for the conservation of species that cannot return to the wild for various reasons.

During the tour, we'll see how monkeys, toucans, leopards, and other animals recover from their ailments. Additionally, we'll view the rooms designated for veterinary care, feeding, rehabilitation of species, and captive breeding.

After spending a day at the Güirá Oga Wild Animals Shelter, we'll return you to your hotel in Puerto Iguazú, arriving at 11:30 am.
