Description
This project was founded to ensure plastic-free seas, beaches and rivers. Above all, you will help with the clean-up expeditions on the coast. In groups, you will clear the beaches of garbage on foot or in a large truck. The garbage washed up by cities or caused by commercial fishing threatens and endangers our marine life and often pollutes or devastates entire coastal regions. On your expeditions, you will get to know your surroundings in a very special way and gain access to fascinating and often untouched beaches. However, in order to protect Costa Rica’s nature sustainably, a multifaceted approach is required. That’s why you can also get involved with the construction of “artificial coral reefs” or the Turtle Center. Another part of your work is to help plan campaigns to raise awareness of the problem among the population and tourists.

FAQ
All programs can be booked with friends. If you would like to book a program as a group, we recommend that you enquire in advance. Each person must book the project individually.
Ideal for all programs are at least three months in advance. In principle it is also possible for us to place short-term applicants (volunteering and language study travel) in Costa Rica.
Costa Rica is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.
Please note that in Costa Rica all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.
In principle, no language course is mandatory in advance. However, depending on the volunteering program, certain levels of the language of your destination country may be required to complete the project. We would be happy to advise you individually on your chosen project.
Depending on the program, we work with host families in the vicinity or there are volunteer houses at the project site.
