The time in the reserve was incredible! At first you definitely have to get used to the surrounding and environment, but it's so worth it. If you are open to new ways of living and different mentalities, this place is perfect for you! Everyone is so kind and I learned a lot about nature and local life.

This was my first Worldpackers experience/solo trip, & it was everything I was looking for. The natural beauty of the rainforest is unmatched. Hernan was a wonderful guide to the wildlife- I saw & learned about so many new animals because of him. The work is easy & fun- it involved collecting litter, clearing palm branches, or gathering/cleaning coconuts. That said, the language barrier was very difficult for me as Patri & everyone there speaks primarily Spanish. Hernan speaks some English, which made it easier, but I wouldn't suggest this one for someone who doesn't speak the language at all!

Ich hatte eine tolle Zeit in the reserve bei Patricia und Hernan :)! Der Aufenthalt direkt am Meer, umgeben von Jungel, Kokospalmen und vielen Tieren, darunter süße Hunde, war sehr entspannt und spannend zugleich. Allein die Anreise mit dem Boot war ein Abenteuer. Ein ganz anderes Leben als meines in Deutschland. Ich konnte mein Spanisch verbessern und hatte viel Spaß dabei, Hernan in der Küche zu helfen. Das Essen war immer sehr lecker. Vielen Dank nochmal für diese Erfahrung!

Je suis restée 27 jours chez Patricia et Hernan. J'ai été très bien accueillie et la nourriture fournie était très bonne. Je suis venue pour la protection des tortues marines, nous aidons l'association LAST. C'est une super expérience et association. Cependant, le lieu de vie est plutôt sale à Pacuaré. Les toilettes et douches ont été nettoyés 2 semaines après ma venue et à certains moments des locaux viennent faire la fête et boire, ce qui engendre des bagarres et ne rend pas le lieu toujours sécurisé. Malgré tout, c'est un endroit calme, accueillant et très beau.

I strongly advise against this project. I came from France for a meaningful monkey conservation program, but it hasn't really started, it's just distant observation with binoculars, no interaction, no structure, no goals, no supervision. You'd see more in Cahuita National Park for less. I was the only volunteer, which felt uncomfortable. The host's brother was kind, but the room, the kitchen, the toilets were filthy, full of insects and dust, and I got food poisoning after leaving. No refund was offered only 70$. Beware: good reviews are mostly for the turtle project, not this one.

It is a very beautiful place! We spent most time on the beach or walking around the rainforest, we left feeling very connected to nature. The living space was basic and humid which made it sometimes uncomfortable. We enjoyed the turtle volunteering although there was a small lack of communication between the turtle center and our lodge. we often had to walk over to see our schedule for the day. The food was good, portions are on the smaller side. We definitely enjoyed our time at this beautiful place, but be prepared to be outdoors all day and have basic amenities in a rainforest climate!

Der Host ist sehr abgelegen und es sollte unbedingt gut Spanisch gesprochen werden. Tolle Natur. Am Vesten auch fragen, ob andere Volenteers da sind, dann gibt's eine bessere Tagesstruktur.

Amazing experience in the reserve, especially because of Hernan who truely loves sharing and socialize with volunteers !! Thanks to him, I've learnt so many things about nature, animals, local foods, fishing and local culture. I deeply thank him for my stay there ! Do not hesitate to go there 😉 (Just be careful there's tones of mosquitoes)

La semana en Paraíso la reserva fue una experiencia suuuuuuper auténtica. Prepárate para conocer como viven realmente los locales de allá, en un lugar muy muy remoto… Verás que son felices sin necesidad de mucho. Es un “back to basics” total. Descalzos todo el día, despertando con los animales, bañándote al mar a las 5.30h cuando sale el sol, ayudando con los cocos y su jardín, aprendiendo a cocinar su comida, largas horas de relax en la hamaca o jugando a cartas en el rancho, paseos por el bosque, en bote… Hernán es puro amor y se nota que le gusta compartir su vida con los voluntarios.
