Dettagli del programma

Our goal is to protect monkeys and preserve biodiversity in general.
The mains actions are :
- do Monkey monitoring in order to get to know the population, its evolution and their behavior.
- reforest the area to offer them more food and habitat.
But we also have much more to offer!
❤️ Rooted in the Land
In the heart of Barra de Pacuare lives a family who has called this place home for generations. Long before eco-tourism, they were already caretakers of the land — protecting its animals, preserving its forest, and living in harmony with nature. Doña Lilly was born there 80 years ago and given this land by her father. With Don Bill they grew 7 children in Pacuare. Freddy is the one who lives there all the time.
🌱 A Living Legacy
This project is not just about conservation. It’s about sharing a way of life that respects the earth. The family’s deep knowledge of biodiversity, plants, local traditions, and natural cycles is passed down with love — and now shared with you.
🐒 Volunteering with Heart
When you join, you don’t just help the planet — you become part of a story. A story of resilience, wisdom, and commitment. You’ll work hand in hand with people who truly care. You’ll see the forest not as a landscape, but as a living being.
🌊 A Hidden Paradise
Barra de Pacuare is one of Costa Rica’s last untouched treasures — no roads, no mass tourism, just pure beauty. A place where monkeys swing freely, frogs sing at night, and time follows the rhythm of the nature.
✨ An Invitation to Meaning
This is your chance to give back. To learn something real. To slow down and reconnect. Your hands will plant trees, but your heart will carry the experience forever.

Attività e turni

This program aims to protect monkeys and preserve biodiversity in general.
Monkeys monitoring helps to get to know as much as possible the local monkey population, their way of life and their needs.
Monitoring consists in going at any time, have a walk to look for them, then observe and write what we meet and see.
Those datas will be very helpful.
In addition, we work on reforestation with native tree species to offer monkeys the food they like, good habitats and ways to move.

Typical day is :
Breakfast at 8 AM.
Work from 9 to 11 AM.
Lunch at 12 PM.
Work from 3 to 5 PM.
Dinner at 7 PM.
The rest of the time is mostly free time.
Monkeys monitoring should be at any time (even before breakfast) because it's better to observe them at different times.

Regole

We work on prevention and preservation.
We really believe is not good for wildlife to have interaction with humans, we just want to offer them good living conditions and make sure the population don't decline.
You have to pay part of the price in advance, and the rest at least the day of your arrival. No refund.
You have to respect the place, the others and the working times.
You have to be very careful with the sea and the jungle.
