About the experience in: Islita, Costa Rica
Turkey
I will forever cherish the month I spent at MRN. It was an incredible experience and I had the best time. I met a bunch of awesome people and had a blast working with those amazing birds. The staff is amazing, the site is amazing and I was lucky enough to be there with a bunch of lovely volunteers who made every day a lot more fun then I imagined. Living in the jungle is definitely is not a 5 star hotel experience but it is such a surreal experience to be surrounded with everything the jungle has to offer. I would do this again in a heartbeat and would absolutely recommend it to everyone

What a wonderful place to work at... Great leadership, fantastic volunteers, and the macaws are naughty but so cute. I have a new appreciation for those beautiful creatures. Not to mention the amazing location that MRN is situated in. Punta Islita will always have a special place in my heart. Another life changing experience with Worldpackers...

This was my first solo traveling experience, at first I was scared about going in this place by my self, but as soon as I was there I felt a part of the group and in a couple of days I felt like home. Having the possibility to see amazing animals as the Macaws and being able to help them is gonna be unforgettable. The job is for the most physical, but I never found it boring or excessive, the early wake up time was not a problem, I had some really fun time while working. Obviously the best part was the people. I've met so many interesting people who taught me a lot and changed me for ever.

¡Qué bonito leer tu experiencia!
Nos emociona saber que tu primera aventura viajando sola te llevó hasta aquí y que encontraste en MRN un espacio seguro, acogedor y lleno de aprendizajes.
Es un privilegio poder compartir esta misión con personas como vos, que se entregan con entusiasmo, curiosidad y disposición, incluso cuando el trabajo implica esfuerzo físico.
Gracias por ser parte de este esfuerzo por proteger a las guacamayas y por dejar una huella tan positiva.
