Sobre o programa

In this volunteer program you support a turtle project in the northeastern area of ​​Costa Rica on the Atlantic coast near the border with Nicaragua. The sanctuary is located north of the province of Limon and covers an area of ​​800 hectares of rainforest and 6 kilometers of beach. It is located directly on the Caribbean Sea and is approximately 25 kilometers from the city of Limon.

The conservation project has set itself the goal of protecting the endangered Baula and Lora turtles. Every year, many thousands of turtles come to the Caribbean beaches of Costa Rica to lay their eggs there. As a volunteer, you'll help the local team watch the turtles lay eggs, guard their nests, and dig up the eggs to store in incubators until the hatchlings, if needed, so that they can be released back into the wild. The work in this project is incredibly exciting, as the turtles weigh up to 700 kg and impress with their beautiful huge shells.

Volunteers work together with local staff and from time to time with marine biologists to observe not only the animals, but also the environment and record the climatic conditions in the region. It is important to collect and analyze the data in order to identify changes early and to learn more about the sensitive ecosystem. In addition to the turtles, various mammal species, many reptile species and about 200 species of birds are protected and observed in this area. The reserve is surrounded by a vast rainforest and the frequently used means of transportation are small boats to navigate through the many channals. Around the sanctuary is the famous Tortuguero National Park.

Dia típico

Along with other volunteers or the project supervisors, during the nights you will be taking exciting tours along the Caribbean beaches to observe the rare turtles and monitor their habits and behaviors. The patrols are never done alone, but always in groups.

The Baula turtle comes to the beaches for nesting in the months between February and July, while the Lora turtles can be found in the months of July to October. So, sea turtles can be observed and protected in this volunteer project almost all year round, sometimes you will be able to see more sometime less.

You will be able to get close to the animals weighing up to 700 kg to admire their huge shells. Each sea turtle is examined and measured by volunteers and marine biologists, and their data are logged. The turtles' stored eggs are collected by the volunteers and placed in incubators, where they are kept safe until the hatchlings hatch. Subsequently, the hatchlings are released under guard.

The aim of this project is to protect the eggs of sea turtles from natural predators and poachers in order to favor the growth of the Atlantic population of animals. A large part of the turtle eggs are victims of poachers because the eggs are considered a delicacy, others do not make their way back to the sea once hatched due to natural predators. In addition, the adult sea turtles in the oceans are exposed to many dangers of modern humanity, especially pollution and fishing.


We would like to point out that nature is unpredictable and we cannot guarantee the number of sea turtles for a certain period of participation.


Note: The tasks may vary. They depend on factors such as number of volunteers, weather, season, current needs of the project, as well as self-motivation. Not every volunteer may be fully involved in all these tasks.

Sobre o projecto

South America Inside promotes intercultural, linguistic and educational exchanges. Its volunteer programs are addressed to students, professionals and retirees.

Conheça seu anfitrião

South America Inside is an intercultural management agency, founded back in 2003, which specializes in the promotion of programs abroad, language travel and educational programs throughout Latin America.

Since 2007, to enrich the experience of our global-minded clients and to provide them with even more possibilities, South America Inside has been expanding their program offerings throughout South and Central America.

Working together with some of the best language schools in Latin America, South America Inside provides high quality language courses in almost every Latin American country.

Thanks to a professional team of motivated and friendly staff, South America Inside has been very successful over the past several years and have been able to establish an outstanding network of what we call "Insider Contacts." To enrich the experience of their clients and to provide them with more possibilities, South America Inside has been expanding our program offerings throughout Central and South America, in addition to our well-established Chilean programs.

Volunteer Work

Do you dream of staying abroad while doing something positive? Are you looking for a unique experience that will leave a mark on your life? Then a Volunteer Work program in South America or Central America is perfect for you!

With South America Inside you can combine an adventure abroad with social commitment, and create lasting memories in Latin America. Support the protection of endangered species; help a local community construct new homes; give new hope to impoverished children.

The possibilities to lend a hand are diverse, as there are the many places where help is needed. We have classified our volunteer projects in different areas so you can easily find the one (or more!) projects that best match your needs and interests.

Why with us

There are many persuasive reasons that speak in favor of South America Inside when it comes to selecting your perfect provider of language, study and volunteer travel abroad. Following, we have prepared a short summary so that you can get us to know a little better.

Our Insider benefits at a glance:

  Regional Experience
Over one decade (established in 2003) of dedication to language, work and study travel programs in Latin America. Thanks to our long standing work and life experience in the South American continent, we know this region really well. Therefore, we can help and inform you in a professional and competent way.

  Multifaceted Offers
Over time we have developed new programs to offer a wide array of work abroad opportunities to our clients. We have been pioneers in launching new exchange programs, as we have been the first in offering Work & Travel/Working Holiday and Farm Stays in Chile and successfully introduced these programs into the market back in 2005. Since 2012, we are the only agency to offer this type of program in Costa Rica.

  Insider Advice
Despite living in the modern era of the internet, we know that reliable and competent advice is still an important criterion for most of us. At South America Inside, you will find the benefits of an internet provider and an independent travel agency. We will be glad to pass on our extensive knowledge and regional experience.!

  Location
It is difficult to run programs when there is nobody “on the ground” to evaluate existing options and search for new opportunities. So, we are located in Chile, on location, and we know everything that is going on first hand. We know what it is like to live as a foreigner in South America and will be happy to assist you in making your stay unforgettable!

  Independence
South America Inside is an independent provider of language courses, internships, volunteer work, Farm Stays and Work & Travel programs in Latin America. We neither depend financially nor structurally on any other company, language school, association or organization. Therefore, we are able to give personalized information in accordance to your needs and availability.

•  Multilingual Team

Our team is multilingual and international! We speak fluent English, Spanish and German, as well as some French and Portuguese. With our customers, we can communicate in their native language and we avoid misunderstandings with local partners by communicating in Spanish with them. You can be sure that there will be an English-speaking contact person for you before, during, and after your stay.

  Customer Service
Excellent customer service is one of the most important goals for South America Inside, and this is evident with the positive feedback we regularly receive from our many happy clients. Emails are answered within 48 business hours and every client is treated with the same friendliness and expertise.

  Gapless and Accurate Information flow
With South America Inside you will have one and the same contact person before, during and after your trip. With that said, we guarantee a gapless and accurate information flow and you will always be very well informed.

  Approved Program Places
Many of our program places, especially in the area of internships and volunteer work, are designed in the way that they will be recognized by most universities, colleges or academies.
