Tuve la oportunidad de trabajar en este voluntariado de conservación de tortugas marinas y fue una experiencia increíble. Me motivo la posibilidad de contribuir a un proyecto que ayude a la comunidad y al medio ambiente. En mi estadía participé en diversas actividades como limpieza de playa, recolección y reubicación de nidos de tortugas y patrullajes nocturnos. Fue increíble sumergirse en la naturaleza y trabajar en un proyecto que tiene un impacto positivo en el planeta. Además, disfrute de un intercambio cultural con las personas que conocí, lo que enriqueció mi experiencia aun más.

Manuel y Alba son muy apasionados y saben como transmitir la necesidad y la importancia de este proyecto a lxs voluntarixs :) Aunque hay muchas horas libres, es un muy buen sitio para desconectar de todo y conectar con la naturaleza y con unx mismx. Paciencia! Porque las tortugas no siempre salen, pero por eso hay que ayudar más que nunca!

Por loemos mi experiencia no fue nada agradable ni cómoda. Era un proyecto por el cual esperé mucho tiempo y con ansias, el cual resultó lejos de mis expectativas. Para nuestra mala suerte cuando llegamos al lugar ya no habían tortugas (algo que esta lejos de ser controlado por el equipo), pero el trabajo que realizamos no era nada relacionado con estas, nos tuvieron haciendo un hoyo para un futuro baño y limpiando el jardin. Por otro lado en el lugar daban la electricidad 2 horas al dia, puesto que llega a ser sumamente peligroso para el tema de los alimentos, por su cadena de frio.

Hi Sofia. We're obviously disappointed that you and Nicolas (not a member of the Worldpackers community) didn't enjoy the activities as much as the other volunteers, many of whom have left 4 or 5 star reviews here for the same period.

In rural Costa Rica, many projects do not have any electricity at all, and we managed the project since 2006 without the need for a refrigerator. We are blessed that we have a generator, and as it says clearly in the volunteer manual, the electricity is available for 2 hours per day. Most volunteers are appreciative of this.

The volunteer manual also makes clear when the nesting and hatching seasons are, and what kind of work we do outside of the turtle season. We greatly appreciate the effort that are volunteers make in helping us to expand and maintain the infrastructure that we need in order to protect the turtles and deter illegal egg poaching. Our volunteers are normally very happy support is with this work.

We would recommend that next time, when you work at a Worldpackers project, that you read the volunteer manual prior to arrival, and that you come with an open mind and ask yourself: how can I help this community?, rather than just thinking about what you should be entitled to.

We wish you the best of luck, and pura vida!

What a beautiful experience! This volunteer opportunity really immerses you in the local culture. I was able to meet and connect with lots of locals. If you're thinking “i need to touch grass” this is the perfect place to disconnect from the internet and reconnect with nature and the world!

What a wonderful experience! Alba and Manuel were incredibly warm, welcoming, and supportive. The accommodation is set in a stunning location right by the beach, offering a truly rustic and immersive connection with nature. Since it wasn't turtle season, there weren't many turtle-related tasks, but we kept busy with beach clean-ups and other meaningful activities like making coconut milk and painting beach signs. Without a car, getting around can be a bit challenging, but if you're looking to slow down and reconnect with nature, this is the perfect place. Thank you so much!

What an awesome experience! Alba and Manuel were so lovely, helpful and welcoming. The accommodation is right on the beach and a rustic immersion with nature. It wasn't turtle season so we didn't have much to do, mostly some beach cleaning and other activities like painting signs. It's a little tricky to get around without a car but if you are looking to slow down and enjoy nature this is a great spot. Thank you so much!!
