I only stayed at ACOTPRO for ten days but it was incredible! In those ten days we were able to release two nests of turtles! While that was incredible I also learned so much about the turtles and that had a huge impact on me. The yard work was fun and not strenuous. Alba and Manual are incredible hosts! They were so welcoming and kind and I had a great time getting to know them. The people I met here were so fun and the place was beautiful!

Manuel and Alba are two amazing hosts! Their dedication to the cause is really inspiring and has shown me how important it is to protect the Sea Turtles. The camp is amazing, only a few metres away from the beach, surrounded by the lagoon and the jungle where you can see lots of wildlife. Manuel and Alba always make sure every volunteer is happy and has everything they need. The food is also delicious and there are lots of fun activities to do when it's sunny 😎 I have passed two incredible weeks here and will definitely come back 🥰 I 100% recommend you Acotpro!! 🐢

The best experience! I loved every minute, Alba and Manuel were the best hosts, so engaging and went above and beyond for everything. They helped organise tours, taxis, transport to and from, any problem they would find a solution to. Super comforting and welcoming, such a welcoming community. The food was amazing and we all got to see so many turtles, monkeys and wild animals. I truly couldn't recommend enough!!

Manuel and Alba are really very kind and will help you with anything you need. the dorms are very comfortable. the food is fantastic, they cook very large portions of great food. this project really helps turtles, and being part of all this is an unmissable experience

Volunteering at Acotpro was my first time using worldpackers and I had the best first experience. I would definitely recommend it to my friends. I got to see baby turtles being released into the ocean and so many wild animals. Alba and Manuel, the hosts were so sweet and made us three great meals a day. The camp is right on the beach so I got to swim in the ocean almost every day, which was awesome.

My time here was fantastic and I would recommend to everyone! I learned so much about the turtles, both releasing them into the ocean, finding the nests and seeing them hatch. It was incredible to see all of this. Manuel and Alba are so kindhearted and giving people, and made our stay feel special. The people I met were all amazing and I really enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful nature. We got to do fun activities and got to experience the Costa Rican lifestyle. I had the best time!

Volunteering at ACOTPRO was an amazing experience and I would recommend anyone to come! Alba and Manuel, the hosts, were very friendly and welcoming, and always there for you when you needed. In just the two weeks I was there I got to know them and other local people during activities we did. I got a feeling of what life in the Costa Rican countryside is like. You will work hands-on with turtles in patrols and with releasing babies that hatch, a great way to learn! It is a calm life that is perfect for anyone wanting to meet people, connect with nature, and see the world. Los extrañaré❤️

My experience at ACOTPRO was incredible, learning about turtles, releasing them into the ocean, and connecting with the nature. the food was excellent!! Made great friends (titis <3), and Alba and Manuel are very kind and dedicated people. On free times we went snorkeling and even went to Drake bay for some Bachata night out. It was one of the most amazing experiences in my life and realized that sometimes less is more I wish I could stayed longer 🫶🏻
