Mi estadia en ACOTPRO fue muchisimo mejor de lo que esperaba. Alba y Manuel son muy amables y logre conocer personas muy lindas. Ademas, tuve la oportunidad de ver mamas tortugas y tortugas bebe, por lo cual me voy feliz. Tambien vi muchos otros animalitos y conoci gente local, todos muy lindas personas. La comida es increible, siempre quedas satisfecho, ademas es muy variada y saludable! Los paisajes son preciosos y todo es muy seguro alli :) Muchas gracias por todo ACOTPRO!

My time here was fantastic and I would recommend to everyone! I learned so much about the turtles, both releasing them into the ocean, finding the nests and seeing them hatch. It was incredible to see all of this. Manuel and Alba are so kindhearted and giving people, and made our stay feel special. The people I met were all amazing and I really enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful nature. We got to do fun activities and got to experience the Costa Rican lifestyle. I had the best time!

Volunteering at ACOTPRO was an amazing experience and I would recommend anyone to come! Alba and Manuel, the hosts, were very friendly and welcoming, and always there for you when you needed. In just the two weeks I was there I got to know them and other local people during activities we did. I got a feeling of what life in the Costa Rican countryside is like. You will work hands-on with turtles in patrols and with releasing babies that hatch, a great way to learn! It is a calm life that is perfect for anyone wanting to meet people, connect with nature, and see the world. Los extrañaré❤️

My experience at ACOTPRO was incredible, learning about turtles, releasing them into the ocean, and connecting with the nature. the food was excellent!! Made great friends (titis <3), and Alba and Manuel are very kind and dedicated people. On free times we went snorkeling and even went to Drake bay for some Bachata night out. It was one of the most amazing experiences in my life and realized that sometimes less is more I wish I could stayed longer 🫶🏻

The camp is very clean and comfortable even if it is in the nature The hosts Alba and Manuel are the best, they don't hesitate to help you if you need and they are good cookers by the way ! I really recommend you to come here and enjoy it !

This experience was truly incredible, myself and molly spent 10 days volunteering with acotpro but we could have stayed a lot longer. The camp itself is beautiful, you are truly immersed in the nature and you sleep so well thanks to the sounds of the waves at night. The camp is clean and well maintained. Alba and Manuel felt like family to us by the end of our time there, they are two incredible humans who show so much passion, empathy and kindness. We learnt so much about the turtles, saw many babies and formed true connections. We cannot thank you enough and hope to return! 🐢

I stayed at ACOTPRO for a little over two week and would highly recommend to anyone that wants the real local experience. I saw turtles, nests and was lucky enough to see freshly hatched baby turtles. It was magical!! The work during the day was easy and there was plenty of time to relax. I always felt taken care of by Alba and Manuel and all the wonderful staff. The food was delicious and made with love. Everyone was so kind and by the time I left, I felt part of the community. I made a friend whom I decided to travel with afterwards. We will both hold this experience with us forever 🫶

My time at ACOTPRO was transformational. Not only did we get to see turtles, eggs and nests, but we also witnessed the first hatch of the season on our very last night! Releasing the baby turtles into the ocean was such an incredible experience. Being fully immersed in nature and the local culture also made this experience stand out. The food was always so fresh and delicious, myself and the other travellers felt like we were part of the community by the end of our stay. If you are considering supporting a turtle conservation project in Costa Rica this is the one! :)

I cannot recommend this experience ENOUGH! This was my first time volunteering with Worldpackers and it was fantastic! Acortpro is such a special place to volunteer. The people are some of the most welcoming people I've ever met and are so helpful. The accommodations are rustic and the lifestyle is truly simple! Be prepared to spend a lot of time relaxing. The work was always meaningful and clear directions were given. Some days of work were hard due to the heat but everyone is accommodating with breaks. The work was only a few hours in the morning . The meals were all delicious and filling.
