Description

The tasks for the day are discussed every day over breakfast. The main task is to protect the flora and fauna. There are different tasks in the park depending on the time of year.

Your tasks in the national park project in Costa Rica:
Volunteers help for between 3-6 hours every day. This includes, for example, creating paths, cleaning beaches (if the national park has beaches), separating plastic, workshops at schools, monitoring animals in the reserve.

The project is located on the Pacific coast in the Guanacaste region. During the project, you will live with all the other volunteers in the park, surrounded by beautiful nature. The entire site is a protected area, so the project has more regulations to ensure the protection of the animals. Please note that you are in a national park, accommodation is open and airy and therefore animals can also visit.

FAQ

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.
