About the Program

This program is located about 15 km north of Limón. You will reach this camp after a 30 min wonderful journey by boat through the mangroves. 

Besides the effort of protecting turtles and the biodiversity of this area, here you are in demand for community work. 

Together with the people in the local community you will be working on programs to educate people of the importance of caring about the environment. You should have a willingness to help in a task that requires a lot attention and have a desire to leave a mark on a humble village. Here you will find an atmosphere where you feel like family. 

You will be in a very remote camp and under very simple conditions. There is no standard electricity (there are solar panels), there are no grocery stores and no internet facilities. There are some spots on the beach where you might have a signal – but be prepared to be disconnected. 

The Caribbean is very humid, so be prepared for demanding circumstances – you will see: once you meet a giant Leatherback turtle (between February and June) or, later in the year a Green turtle (between July and November): the experience of connecting with nature and these fascinating turtles pay off the hard work!

Our Volunteers

Our Volunteers should have a love for nature and fun with outdoor-living. They should be prepared for sometimes physically demanding work and work at unusual hours as most of the turtle nesting occurs at night. The volunteers should bring a sleeping bag, repellent, mosquito net, flashlight, batteries, rain protection (May - November), sun protection and a hat or cap. 

Journée Typique

Your Tasks

You will walk on night patrols with local guides in which you will collect turtle eggs

You will relocate the eggs to a turtle hatchery where they will be safe from poachers

You will also volunteer to do community service work 

You will help to maintain community facilities, local schools and sports fields

You will do beach cleanup in conjunction with the Blue Flag committee

We also help the local population with the construction of gardens

Activités de Loisir
