It's an educational and heartwarming experience that promotes conservation awareness. Guira Oga was founded with the mission of protecting and preserving the biodiversity of the Iguazu ecosystem. The center plays a crucial role in rescuing and rehabilitating animals that have been displaced or injured due to human impact. By providing medical care, shelter, and a nurturing environment, Guira Oga aims to release these animals back into their natural habitat whenever possible. The center also educates the public about the importance of conservation and responsible tourism.

Participate in educational programs and workshops to deepen your understanding of wildlife conservation. Support the center's work by making a donation or purchasing souvenirs from their gift shop.
