Acotpro is a beautiful place, and the project behind the association is truly inspiring. However, we did experience a few issues during our stay. On our last day, the person who was supposed to cook for us never showed up. Additionally, we received very little information about what was expected of us, which made the experience a bit confusing sometimes.

Acoptro está ubicado en un lugar hermoso y el trabajo que realizan Alba y Manuel es muy valioso. He aprendido mucho sobre las tortugas marinas con ellos. Sin embargo, Acoptro tiene serios problemas. Parece haber falta de comunicación interna, lo que genera confusión entre los voluntarios. Nos pedían que trabajáramos en supuestos días libres y, en nuestro último día, teníamos que cocinar porque nadie aparecía. También hay poca participación de los voluntarios: nos pedían que hiciéramos alguna actividad y nos informaban muy poco sobre las actividades que podíamos hacer.

L'esperienza in se alla fine non é stata male ma di certo non quello che mi aspettavo leggendo le recensioni. Il posto é meraviglioso circondato da natura fantastica e solo per questo ne é valso il viaggio. Mi aspettavo di meglio dal progetto però. Mi sono sentita spesso abbandonata a me stessa senza un vero coinvolgimento da parte dello staff del progetto. Al di fuori delle attività notturne di controllo della spiaggia che duravano comunque 2 o 3 ore, la maggior parte del tempo eravamo liberi ma anche soli. Credo che ci sono conflitti interni che non rendono piacevole l'esperienza dei volont

Gracias a Alba y Manuel por cuidarme, estar pendientes siempre de los voluntarios y enseñarme tanto sobre el proyecto y tortugas. Pero cuando le tocaba a John cocinar me hizo cocinar mi comida cuando yo pago ese dinero cada día por tenerla hecha. Tampoco coordinaba bien los grupos para trabajar y no sabíamos qué hacer ni cuándo. También agradecería más variedad en el menú de las comidas y cenas para que no sea tan repetitivo y me apetezca comer más. Y creo que deberían usar mejor el dinero que reciben también en mejorar las instalaciones del campamento. Que se haga un buen uso.

This has been a really nice experience, the place is wild, beautiful, just in front of the beach that you will have for yourself! The team is nice and gave us a lot a freedom and independance. The cooker was amazing, we really enjoyed her food. The working hours were in the morning for us (december so hatching season) and it was pretty chill, not too hard at this time, we got to release the baby turtles but haven't seen the big ones. It's important to make sure to read the tasks that can be very different depending on the turtle season. I recommand this misson if you want to relax! Thanks

Volunteering at ACOTPRO was the best experience ! Learning about turtles, living in the most wonderful place across the ocean and the jungle, meeting the members of the association and making friends with the others volunteers was incredible. Delicious food always, chill work and lots of time to relax and explore around. I would recommend this experience to everyone! Thank you Alba, Manuel, and everyone from ACOTPRO (and Bebe and Tormenta) for making it the most amazing experience.

I had a wonderful experience with ACOTPRO! Everthying was as expected, the hosts were very friendly and helped with anything you might need. Releasing the turtles was a unique expierence, but learning about turtles has also been very interesting and helped to better understand the importance of protecting the sea/sea turtles and raising awareness towards nature. Although the weather wasn't the best, spending time with the other volunteers has led to many beautiful memories and friendships. As a small advice, knowing Spanish helps you a lot to communicate with the host and the local people :)

The experience at ACOTPRO was very nice. You could learn a lot, especially about the turtles, and you got a better understanding of the importance of nature in Costa Rica. In addition, the other volunteers were very friendly and we had a lot of fun, even if the weather was sometimes not so good. The proximity to the beach and the seclusion of the property also made the stay a special experience. The hosts Alba and Manuel were also very nice and always helpful. All in all, a wonderful time in Drake.

Manuel and Alba are incredible hosts who make you feel welcome from the first moment. They shared so much knowledge on turtles and we had the opportunity to get involved with projects around the camp.

Mi estancia en Acotpro durante un 1 mes no podía haber sido mejor. Me ayudó a desarrollar la conciencia ambiental y aprender sobre las tortugas marinas. Es un entorno muy seguro donde compartir experiencias con otros voluntarios y disfrutar el refugio naturaleza. Gracias a la ayuda y atención de Alba y Manuel todo fue mucho más fácil por su trato familiar con los voluntarios, y cabe destacar su cocina variada y el trabajo que dedican día a día por el proyecto. Las tareas son muy fáciles y flexibles. Recomendación para este voluntariado 1000/1000!!! Siempre en mi corazón, Acotpro 🐢❤️ Gracias!!
