Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary, Goa
Most visitors to Goa are content to laze around on the state’s beautiful white gold beaches, or perhaps swim in the pool and sea and work up a nice tan. However, Goa is more than the sum of its beaches. Some of the most fascinating places are the wildlife sanctuaries with which the state abounds.
These natural havens are extremely popular with animals, birds, and nature lovers alike. The second-largest, and most accessible (in all seasons) among these is the Cotigao wildlife sanctuary which lies in the south of Goa, on the Goa-Karnataka border. Although visitors may not see many of the larger species of animals the magnificent trees and brightly colored birds make this a popular spot for the more adventurous tourist.
