Our volunteers should love to work with animals and be respectful with animals and the environment in general. They should be ready to do physically hard work. We are looking for volunteers who like to communicate, are interested in animals and have a good sense of responsibility. They should obey the center rules and follow the instructions of our employees.
The Location
Costa Rica is a little tropical paradise between two oceans. Hardly any other country has such an abundance of plants and animals on such a small terrain. 25% of it's area is protected by national parks. Active volcanos, hot springs, rain and cloud forests, mountain rivers, spectacular waterfalls, subterranean caves, coral reefs, mangroves, amazing caribbean and pacific beaches and a fascinating animal world invite you to discover and enjoy. The program is located at the caribbean coast.
Be prepared for sometimes physically demanding work from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm.
During a four weeks stay you will be working three weeks in the center and one week in a release station. This will be organized with you when you arrive.
Your Tasks
Your work mostly includes:
You are close to the caribbean coast ... there is a lot to do and to chill.
Puerto Viejo is a little village with great leisure time possibilities: swim, surf, dive, snorkel, go on biketours. In the evenings there is a lot of music everywhere. The National Park of Cahuita is close, our rainforest lodge is a 40 min bus ride away and you can also 'hop over' to Panamá ...
We organize the journey to the project and we also do hostel reservations in San José if needed (mostly it is needed!) - and, if you will combine projects, we will also organize the transportation between the projects. You will have to pay the cost for the pickup and the transport.
You
will be picked up at the airport by our driver with a sign with your
name and you will directly get in contact with your german, english,
spanish speaking coordinator via phone. The driver will drive you to the
reserved hostel (if necessary), give
you the bus ticket (he will buy a ticket in advance to reserve you a
seat in the bus), pick you up at the hostel the day of your journey
to the project and bring you to the bus.
The
cost will be around 60 US$ plus the hostel night (between 10-12 US$
(dorm) and 30 US$ (single/double room).
Remember to be latest on
Saturday in San José, to travel on Sunday to the hostel, so you can
start on Monday in the morning in the project!
The hostel belongs to the project.
This program is available all year. It starts every Monday. Please arrive at least on Saturday before the programs starts.
