Description
In our projects in the central valley of Costa Rica, you will help animals that have been abandoned or need your support due to illness. On the first day, you will receive an introduction to your work, your area of responsibility and, of course, information about the animal species in Costa Rica and in the project from the project manager on site. Your work will include feeding the animals every day, building new enclosures for the animals, giving tours for tourists and much more. Many projects in Costa Rica live from donations and are also happy to welcome volunteers who are interested in supporting social media in addition to their work with the animals.
Immerse yourself in Costa Rican life. When you arrive at the airport, you will be picked up by one of our local partners and taken to your volunteer accommodation. Depending on the program you have booked, you will attend a language course for 1-4 weeks beforehand. If you have already booked a program in advance, our partner will meet you at your destination.

Costa Rica - Country Information
Translated literally Costa Rica means rich coast and is also known as the ‘Switzerland of Central America‘. In the North, Costa Rica shares a border with Nicaragua and one with Panama in the South. Due to the number of national parks and the mostly untouched beaches Costa Rica is a paradise for nature lovers and surfers.
FAQ
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.
For all programs you have to be covered by foreign health insurance. We will be happy to help you find a suitable insurance policy.
