Matambú Park is more than a picturesque natural escape—it’s a place steeped in history and compassion. Hidden among its lush trails and vibrant greenery lies a little-known chapter of its past: Matambú once served as a hospital for Costa Rica’s wild cats, offering them a second chance at life.
For years, this sanctuary welcomed injured or sick felines, including the agile ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), the secretive margay (Leopardus wiedii), and the sleek jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi). These extraordinary creatures, native to the forests and savannahs of Costa Rica’s Pacific North, often found themselves in dire situations—struck by vehicles, weakened by illness, or injured in territorial disputes.
When such tragedies occurred, local nature lovers and park rangers sprang into action. With unwavering dedication, they transported these felines to Matambú, where large, carefully designed enclosures awaited them. These spaces were crafted to replicate the cats’ natural habitats, providing not only shelter but also the environment they needed to heal.
Once inside, the felines received attentive care. Whether nursing wounds, recovering from infections, or regaining their strength after traumatic events, these cats found sanctuary in Matambú. The park’s volunteers and experts worked tirelessly, ensuring that each animal could return to the wild as soon as it was healthy and strong enough.
Matambú’s role as a hospital reflects the deep respect and reverence Costa Ricans have for their natural heritage. Ocelots and margays embody agility and grace, while the elusive jaguarundi represents resilience and adaptability. Each rescue at Matambú not only saved a life but also reinforced the delicate balance of Costa Rica’s ecosystem.
Today, as you ride through these trails, you’re not just exploring breathtaking landscapes—you’re stepping into a space where history and nature intertwine. Matambú reminds us that conservation is a collective effort and that every act of kindness, big or small, contributes to the survival of these incredible creatures.
