    Las Pumas Rescue Center in Cantón Cañas, Costa Rica, offers visitors a chance to see and learn about native Costa Rican wildlife. The center focuses on rescuing, rehabilitating, and when possible, releasing animals back into the wild. Visitors generally appreciate the opportunity to observe various species including jaguars, pumas, ocelots, and different types of birds and monkeys in spacious enclosures.

Many visitors find the experience educational and enlightening, particularly in understanding the challenges faced by Costa Rica's wildlife. The center's commitment to conservation and animal care is frequently highlighted in reviews. However, some visitors note that the center is relatively small and can be explored in a short time. A few mention that some enclosures could be improved or expanded. The walking trails are generally well-maintained, but some visitors suggest bringing insect repellent.
