Sea Turtle & Tropical Rainforest Conservation Program

This was my first time volunteering, and Diego and Andrea were spectacular hosts that went above and beyond my expectations. They are extremely knowledgeable and so kind, they make you feel like family. I made lifelong connections there and had a variety of amazing experiences. I enjoyed the real hands-on work such as working on the beach, collecting data, and planting important flora. I loved learning firsthand about how the sea turtles and ecosystems affect each other and how they function individually. I intend to return to the reserve in the future to work with Diego and Andrea more!

This was my first woldpackers experience and I couldn't ask for a better trip. I absolutely love Andrea and Diego. They are so kind, caring, passionate, and welcoming. I felt like a part of a family from day one. They made sure every day we enjoy our experience, that we have everything we need, and that we learn along the way. I felt safe, the food was delicious, the turtles were sooo cute and It was a great time to reconnect with nature, get off electronics. I highly recommend this trip to anybody who is willing to put some good physical work in, loves nature, and want to make positive impact

This was truly an amazing experience for me! The hosts made me feel very safe, and you could always ask them anything. They help you make the most of this experience while learning you so much. The activities we did were so cool! I feel honoured that I could be part of this project. It was absolutely worth it!

This is my first worldpackers trip and for my first one I absolutely adore it and will definitely be planning more in the future. I've had so much fun rescuing the sea turtles and learning all about the jungle environment. Diego and Andrea make us all feel so welcome like we are all one big family.

I really do recommend this project..it was really personal and professional. We were doing lots of different activities and each day was different, unique and felt like two days :). During just two weeks I learned an incredible amount of new things about environment, biology and nature but I also gained a lot of practical skills in this field. Accommodation is cozy with comfortable beds, they also have the best chill areas with ocean view and the most delicious food. The hosts are really kind, caring and helpful people..you can expect friendly atmosphere, lot of fun and unforgettable moments.

This trip was amazing! It was one of the best experiences I have had. I am grateful to Diego and Andrea for making this such an amazing experience. Learning and being able to be hands on with the sea turtles was great experience. I was able to reconnect with nature on this trip and that was because of how close the beach was and because of the layout of the camp. I definitely recommend going on this trip and having the opportunity to give back to the planet and meet amazing people.

Staying at this project was a life changing experience in the best way possible. I meet life long friends and we all became family. From morning to night I had a smile on my face and can't be more grateful for the experience provided. All volunteers had amazing opportunities to contribute good to the land and community. So many educational moments and always felt grounded. There were a few miscommunications and errors in the schedule but it's bound to happen. You can never be prepared for everything, it's important you are adaptable and keep a positive mindset!

What's amazing about this volunteer project that I love that is unique from other programs is how much variety this program has to offer. Every day was a different day. It did not ever feel repetitive, or monotonous. In a week we would design murals, go to local communities, and schools, do the reserve on the beach, do jungle sustainability, do farming, construction, and more. The hosts did an amazing job making sure we were content and that we had a good experience. This program exceeded my expectations. Andrea and Diego are incredible hosts, this was truly the best month of my life.

This experience was more than what I could of hoped for. Having done a few long term volunteer opportunities- this experience had a stronger sense of community, and more opportunities to engage within the local area. The work can be hard, but it varies by the day so it doesn't get monotonous. Bring a positive attitude and some things to do in down time (books, binoculars, cards) and laugh while you work. The more you talk to Andrea and Diego and the more they learn about you the more they go out of their way to make their experience special for you. Truly amazing hosts

La reserva es un hogar. Andrea y Diego se encargan de crear un espacio perfecto para conectar con la naturaleza, formar una familia, y compartir la cultura local. Trasciende el propósito de cuidar la vida marina para involucrarte también por completo con el bosque tropical, la Reserva. El proyecto no solo me dio una nueva familia para toda la vida y aprendizaje de flora y fauna increíble, sino un propósito nuevo y una conexión con la vida que no se habría podido dar en otro lugar. Un plus: la comida es espectacular en el refugio.
