    Sobre el programa

    On this project you have the chance to work on a nature reserve and out in the natural environment, protecting Costa Rica’s beaches. Located on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, the nature reserve was the first national park of Costa Rica and is home to a variety of animals. These include seabirds, including pelicans, frigate birds & laughing gulls, white-tail deer, armadillos, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, as well as wild cats like ocelots and jaguarundis. Around 5% of this nature reserve is open to visitors, where they can walk around the numerous trails available.

    There are 4 different areas you can get involved on this project: trail maintenance, beach conservation, research and education. Each of these areas has a vital role to play in keeping the environment clean and to also educating the local people on conservation issues and how to best take care of the precious ecosystem. You can also help with maintenance and the sustainability of the reserve.

    Location
    The nature reserve is situated on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, a beautiful region with an abundance of wildlife. The beach projects are situated offsite from the volunteer centre within the Nicoya Peninsua. These locations may not have reliable internet, but a phone is available in case of emergencies. Our local coordinators will check in with you by phone and in-person throughout your project. You will spend  the first 1-2 days in San Jose for orientation before your project starts.

    Recogida en el aeropuerto Juan Santamaria International Airport

    Arrival to San Jose

    You will spend the first 1-2 nights in San Jose, before heading to the offsite location. Our local team will pick you up from San Jose airport on the Sunday before your project. Sunday night accommodation is included in the fees. 

    If you arrive outside the pickup times, you can book a private transfer for an extra fee.

    If you want to book any extra nights before or after your program, you can do this for an extra fee. 

    Beach Conservation project sites and accommodations are located 5 to 7 hours outside the city of San Jose. Public bus transportation to and from the project site is included at both the beginning and end of your program.

    We will explain to you how to get to your project site, and you will be given transportation tickets. You will leave on Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning to reach your offsite project. Transportation back is included, and this will usually be Friday evening or Saturday morning.


    Alojamiento

    While in San Jose for your orientation, you stay in a traditional home stay with a pre- approved middle class Costa Rican family in a shared room. You share with 1-3 other people of the same gender.

    At the Beach Conservation project, you stay in shared, dormitory accommodations on the reserve. You are provided with three meals a day. A vegetarian diet can be easily accommodated. Because the Beach Conservation site is very rurally located, some of the comforts and conveniences you are used to may not be available. While you have access to all the standard local services while in San Jose, please keep in mind that at the Beach Conservation site things like wifi, transportation, ATM's, and medical facilities will be limited.
