Great tour

5.00A large-scale collection station about 1 hour outside Santa Cruz. AFASI also offers a taxi service. The driver arrived on time and drove us to the park. The tour is informative and you learn more about the flora and fauna in Bolivia. They try to reintroduce the animals. Those who can't get a place in the park. There were only two of us and we could ask a lot of questions. The food was delicious. There was a tour in the afternoon. You don't see much as most animals are nocturnal and nature is unpredictable of course. The monkeys are everywhere and you get very close to them. A nice place and there should definitely be more such places.
SCAM - BEWARE

1.00This is a scam! Do not pay. After I made payment, the tour operator emailed me asking to cancel the booking because he could not honour the tour the next day. This was the day before so trip advisor did not give me a refund. He then contacted me on whatsapp and asked me to organise the tour with him and pay cash. He claimed he cannot send the refund because he is not affiloiated with trip advisor - but he got my details from them! He won't answer any calls - stay away from this scam preying on foreginers.

5.00My sister and I were volunteering for three weeks here. It has been two months now and I still think about it all the time. working close with animals has always been a dream of ours and to be able to help these wild animals that live in afasi was very special to us. The owner was really nice and he always made sure everything was fine for us. It was a very friendly environment and you could really tell that he made it his life mission to help the animals in need and try to come up with new ideas to make their lives better. It was an amazing experience and we would be happy to come back some day! We still miss it!
Natural Habitat - not a zoo!

5.00The guide.was not a paid employee but a gentleman whose life was invested in maintaining this refuge for animals who could not, at this time, be released into their natural habitat. In fact he and his wife live on the Preserve. Very informative and immersing as you walk amongst the rescued turtles and their habitat, see the three-foot termite mounds, and the trail the leaf-cutter ants are making. Pumas, macaws, toucan, monkeys, etc.. It is a long drive but a wonderful opportunity to see more of Bolivia. I highly recommend this experience. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Bolivia.
