I had an amazing time working with ACOTPRO; everyone was so warm and welcoming. I learnt a lot about sea turtle conservation and the threats they face. Night patrols were exciting and I was lucky enough to see a turtle nest slightly out of season which was incredible! It was one of the best experiences I've had and I will miss the people I met!

I had an awesome time staying at acotpro! I was immersed in nature and the local culture and was about to spend a lot of time by myself and with volunteers of other projects! The people here are nothing short of amazing and were so welcoming and kind:) I'd definitely recommend knowing a bit of spanish as everyone there speaks it. The camp itself is offgrid and a very simple place to live: power two hours a day and cold showers but because it's so humid, i didn't mind them. The workload was very fair and i didn't work more than 3 hours a day. Overall, i'd recommend staying at acotpro!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at ACOTPRO! Alba and Manuel are some of the nicest people I've met, they inform you on everything you can do there and help arrange any transportation. They also make sure you arrive and depart safely! They cook the most delicious meals, and we even made some treats together! They have tons of fun activities to do! I really enjoyed every single day I spent there so much! The volunteer work is also a lot of fun and not difficult, very rewarding! Lots of spare time to relax or go out and have fun! Thank you so much, I had an amazing stay!

We had a really great time at acotpro, it's such a paradise! There were a lot of other volunteers, the beach is beautiful, and we saw so many cool animals around. However, it did kind of feel like a money machine as we paid 26$ a day (22$ if you book through workaway) and it was definitely not cost-covering as we mostly ate rice and beans. We also had to pay for meals we didn't consume. Regarding the work, we didn't really feel needed so overall it felt more like a summer camp. Besides that, it was a great experience in a beautiful place!

It was super fun a once in a life time experience for sure! Throughout the week I've learn alot. Something that I thought could used a bit of working on tho was communicating because we didn't have any training or told what to do prior it was just kind of learn on the job and hope your doing the right thing kind of situation, by the end of the week we had a general idea as what to do from asking different people we met but it would have still been nice to be told from day one. Other then that it was super fun and a great way to help the turtles

Tuve una excelente experiencia durante las dos semanas que fui parte de este proyecto. Mi tiempo en ACOTPRO estuvo lleno de personas radiantes, naturaleza hermosa, nuevas experiencias y nuevos aprendizajes que me llevaron a la conclusión de que Alba y Manuel son ambos muy apasionados por lo que hacen. Todas las personas que hacen parte de este proyecto son muy acogedoras y proyectan constantemente su propio amor hacia esta causa. Me encantaría volver en época de tortugas!

No puedo estar mas contenta el refugio experiencia que vivi en Acotpro, me encanto el trabajo que hacen con las tortugitas!😊 Las tareas son bastante faciles, el refugio esta ubicada enfrente la playa, las instalaciones tienen todo lo que uno necessita y me senti muy acogida por Alba y Manuel y por los demas miembros el refugio fundacion! El unico inconvenient es que esta un poco lejos del pueblo, pero aun asi fue una experiencia que sin duda la volveria a repetir!😊🫶🏼

Manuel y Alba fueron super simpáticos el trabajo fue muy fácil y bastante ligero aún que eché de menos que estuviera mas relacionado con tortugas pero lo entiendo perfectamente ya que no era la temporada. La ubicación del proyecto es preciosa y super tranquila aún que queda un poco alejado de todo lo que tiene sus ventajas y desventajas. Me sentí muy acogida por alba y Manuel y toda la gente del proyecto, así que estoy muy agradecida

Mi experiencia en ACOTPRO fue hermosa. Aprendí mucho sobre las tortugas, animales y del mundo salvaje de CR. Tuve la oportunidad de presenciar varias liberaciones de tortuguitas y ver varios animales que viven alrededor del campamento, el cual tiene en su alrededores lugares muy lindos por explorar. Destaco la amabilidad y calidez de Alba y Manuel quienes siempre estuvieron atentos y acogedores frente a dudas o necesidades que pudieran presentarse, además el refugio gente local que me encantó conocer. Recomiendo totalmente la experiencia <3 !
