I had such a wonderful time volunteering with the reserve. For my first solo trip, I felt very safe with the hosts and other campers. Everyone was very friendly and understanding. I ended up not feeling well so I did come home early, but my camp coordinators didn't hesitate to help me figure out a plan to get back home. Our daily tasks were clearly laid out for us, and once we were finished, we had plenty of down time. We also got to visit the other camp and have some fun with them as well. While the work can be a bit tired, walking on the beach that is, it was a fun learning experience!

AMAZING! I was interning for 6.5 weeks with the reserve and could not have wished for a better experience! All of the people I got to work and live with were so welcoming, adventurous, bright, and very easy to work with. I came with the goal to improve my field research skills, and not only was I taught these skills, but was also taught about sea turtle biology and behavior. Could not recommend this experience more!

I absolutely loved my time volunteering at the reserve. I met such amazing people and learned so much. It was a great way to connect with nature and people from all around the world. All of the staff was great and super eager to teach. I was so sad to leave.

My experience at the reserve's Mariposa Campamento Carate was —however cliche this is— life-changing. Like everyone, I was nervous going in, but at its most basic it proved to be what I had expected, and at its most complex it was full of learning experiences, hugely rewarding, and exactly what I needed at this point in my life. I felt part of the project immediately, and although the work was hard at first, after adjusting I really enjoyed it. I had probably the best group of fellow vols & RAs ever and this program, filled with those wonderful people, will always have a special place in my heart.

I had an amazing three weeks at the reserve! The team is so welcoming and friendly, I met great people here. They were flexible with the schedule, and very accommodating to volunteer requests! There are so many animals on the property, and getting to see baby and nesting turtles was so special. If you feel comfortable living in a semi remote area close proximity to nature I'd highly recommend !

I loved my experience at the reserve. The staff and other volunteers were friendly and welcoming. I felt very safe at the camp as a solo female traveler. I had many unforgettable experiences in the two weeks that I stayed and made a lot of memories. This is a great experience for people who want to be in nature and are passionate about marine life. I have always wanted to volunteer with turtles and am glad I chose the reserve.

I arrived during the rainy season. Camp is remote, being well-equipped was key, I recommend reading the volunteer manual carefully to prepare. Camp life was vibrant, with workshops, language lessons, games, and communal music-filled evenings. Patrols were unforgettable: I saw turtles nesting, hatchlings emerging, and even a tapir on my last day. The biodiversity was stunning, with countless species to discover. It takes time to adapt, so I agree with a min 3-week stay, and I would have loved to extend mine if could! Thx to the camp coordinators and all the group for this enriching experience!!

I spent three unforgettable weeks at the reserve, and my only regret is that I didn't stay longer! The experience was truly magical. I loved every single second of my stay. I had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful and kind people. The entire team—staff, researchers, and volunteers—are deeply dedicated to this project. While beach patrolling and data collection were central to our work, we also enjoyed a variety of additional activities like jungle walks and plastic workshops. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I would absolutely do it again and highly recommend! Miss you guys💗
