Jaguar Rescue Center

The Jaguar Rescue Center (Spanish: Centro de Rescate Jaguar) is an animal rescue center located near Puerto Viejo de Talamanca in the Limón Province of Costa Rica.

The Jaguar Rescue Center does not receive any government funding to operate, instead relying on community support, donations, and entrance fees for both group and private tours.
