Meet rescued native animals at a wildlife refuge right here in Santiago.

The refuge was born from a family, pioneers of ecotourism in Chile since the 1980s. It began when they rehabilitated animals inside their own home including a puma named Huilo.
A notable recognition: primatologist Jane Goodall visited the refuge in 2015 during her trip to South America to initiate a collaboration on environmental education and conservation programs.
