 Tour to Goa Wildlife Sanctuaries - The
Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary in Goa was established in 1969
and is situated at a distance of 60 kilometers from Panaji
towards the south. It is the second largest sanctuary in Goa
and covers an area of 86 square kilometers. The Talpona River
flows all the way through this preserve. The park has a 25-meter
high treetop watchtower for watching wild animals as they
visit the waterholes to quench their thirst.
The Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary has thick deciduous forest
and trees as long as thirty meters high. The forest is not
exactly as raw as other sanctuaries since there are dwellings
around. Though it gets a fair number of visitors but it is
not as developed for tourism as others are. One can spot here
Wild Boars, Langur, Deer, Bison, Pangolin and Black Panther.
To get better luck with spotting wild animals, one can mount
a watchtower near the waterhole. The sanctuary has a lake
also, Bela lake and a Nature Interpretation Centre which has
botanical and Floral exhibits.
