I had an AMAZING experience at the reserve!! The place is very nice, in the middle of an island, you can see many animals and biodiversity. We are working with the association LAST, building and caring the hatchery and doing night patrols (10km per patrol). You can definitely learn a lot about turtles and see a turtle laying the eggs is just an incredible feeling, such a beautiful moment to live ! The team is also very nice :) During the rest of the time, we stayed with Hernan, the loveliest person on earth! He is very passionate and you can do canoe tour, fishing, hiking, and cooking :)

Hernán y Patricia me trataron súper bien , siempre estuvieron presentes , la comida de Hernán está buenisima, se valora el termo de café a toda hora . Recomiendo que hagan el tour en canoa con Hernán se ven muchos animales y se ven zonas virgenes de la reserva. Lamentablemente no pude ver tortugas por qué la temporada recién empezaba , así que voy a tener que volver a este la reserva. Pura Vida !

Es un lugar increíble, entre el mar y el río, es un lugar familiar donde fui acogido como parte de la familia, lo recomiendo a todos los voluntarios porque la van a pasar genial. Gracias Patri por darme la oportunidad.

The time in the reserve was incredible! At first you definitely have to get used to the surrounding and environment, but it's so worth it. If you are open to new ways of living and different mentalities, this place is perfect for you! Everyone is so kind and I learned a lot about nature and local life.

This was my first Worldpackers experience/solo trip, & it was everything I was looking for. The natural beauty of the rainforest is unmatched. Hernan was a wonderful guide to the wildlife- I saw & learned about so many new animals because of him. The work is easy & fun- it involved collecting litter, clearing palm branches, or gathering/cleaning coconuts. That said, the language barrier was very difficult for me as Patri & everyone there speaks primarily Spanish. Hernan speaks some English, which made it easier, but I wouldn't suggest this one for someone who doesn't speak the language at all!

Je suis restée 27 jours chez Patricia et Hernan. J'ai été très bien accueillie et la nourriture fournie était très bonne. Je suis venue pour la protection des tortues marines, nous aidons l'association LAST. C'est une super expérience et association. Cependant, le lieu de vie est plutôt sale à Pacuaré. Les toilettes et douches ont été nettoyés 2 semaines après ma venue et à certains moments des locaux viennent faire la fête et boire, ce qui engendre des bagarres et ne rend pas le lieu toujours sécurisé. Malgré tout, c'est un endroit calme, accueillant et très beau.

I strongly advise against this project. I came from France for a meaningful monkey conservation program, but it hasn't really started, it's just distant observation with binoculars, no interaction, no structure, no goals, no supervision. You'd see more in Cahuita National Park for less. I was the only volunteer, which felt uncomfortable. The host's brother was kind, but the room, the kitchen, the toilets were filthy, full of insects and dust, and I got food poisoning after leaving. No refund was offered only 70$. Beware: good reviews are mostly for the turtle project, not this one.

It is a very beautiful place! We spent most time on the beach or walking around the rainforest, we left feeling very connected to nature. The living space was basic and humid which made it sometimes uncomfortable. We enjoyed the turtle volunteering although there was a small lack of communication between the turtle center and our lodge. we often had to walk over to see our schedule for the day. The food was good, portions are on the smaller side. We definitely enjoyed our time at this beautiful place, but be prepared to be outdoors all day and have basic amenities in a rainforest climate!

Der Host ist sehr abgelegen und es sollte unbedingt gut Spanisch gesprochen werden. Tolle Natur. Am Vesten auch fragen, ob andere Volenteers da sind, dann gibt's eine bessere Tagesstruktur.
