Güirá Oga Wild Animals Shelter Day Trip
On the Güirá Oga Wild Animals Shelter Day Trip, participants will observe various native animal species that cannot return to the wild due to injuries. Learn about the care required for each animal.
The trip begins at 10 am with a hotel pickup in Puerto Iguazú, followed by transportation to the Güirá Oga Wild Animals Shelter, located on the outskirts of the city. Güirá Oga, meaning "the house of birds" in Guaraní, was founded in 1997 by naturalists Jorge Anfuso and Silvia Elsegood, specializing in the rehabilitation of birds of prey and other wildlife.
Visitors will explore the shelter's facilities and learn how animals from Iguazú and the Argentine province of Misiones are treated. It is important to note that Güirá Oga is not a zoo but a conservation center for species that are unable to return to their natural habitats.
The tour includes viewing the recovery process of monkeys, toucans, leopards, and other animals. Participants will also see veterinary care areas, feeding zones, rehabilitation spaces, and captive breeding facilities.
The day concludes with a return to the hotel in Puerto Iguazú, with a drop-off at 11:30 am.
