Pacuare beach

Our main mission is to protect endangered sea turtles such as the Leatherback sea turtle, Hawksbill sea turtle and the Green sea turtle. With the support of the local community and of the the international volunteers, we aim at conserving the environment.
Our work team is made up of people committed to the conservation of the environment.
Thanks to the work carried out with our organization on Pacuare beach as on other 5 beaches, each year we manage to release more than 100,000 baby turtles of different species into the sea.
If you join our team you can be part of this unforgettable experience, you will know a wonderful place surrounded by nature and the sea, we also offer you the opportunity to learn about our programs even on the Pacific coast
Sea turtles season in our Caribbean coast from February to September
In our Pacific coast from June to January

By working with sea turtles, locals and environmental education programs, we will be able to educate people on the importance of caring about and protecting the valuable maritime ecosystem. Our work team is made up of people committed to the conservation of the environment. Robi Barrios is the biologist in charge of the mission, with extensive experience and knowledge on the subject of environmental conservation, you will learn a lot about the animals that live in this beautiful place and all the nature that surrounds us. Magdalena is our assistant, a girl from the Czech Republic, who has fallen in love with our beautiful Pacuare and helps us with enthusiasm and a lot of love for nature. She is kind and helpful to whoever needs it. Don Jorge is the person in charge of the kitchen.

My week in Pacuare was so beautiful. I was lucky to have met so many amazing people and spend the time really connecting with nature. This trip really allowed me to slow down and appreciate life

Was an excellent experience. Really out of my comfort zone but after a couple of days of getting used to Jungle life I felt fine. We had a bit more downtime due to the rain so some of the tasks got moved or unfortunately cancelled but this was made up by the community feel around the camp.

This was my first Worldpackers trip and it was life changer! Working alongside the staff and locals in the area held all of my favorite memories from the trip. The staff is extremely knowledgable and understanding as well. The work they are doing there is just so important, it's not just saving sea turtles, its much more then that. The work to-do leaves you feeling very proud of yourself and much more wiser as a person overall.

I did not know about the solo trip listing, as I saw a group trip listing only, so I would have preferred to book the solo trip to save money, but that's all!
