Come and help us collaborate on a turtle conservation project in the jungle of Bahía Drake, Costa Rica

Be prepared to learn a lot about nature and the importance of protecting sea turtles and the environment here. A minimum two week commitment is expected with volunteers working approximately 25 hours per week, with weekends off to explore and enjoy the natural surroundings of the Osa Peninsula. Volunteers may work with the environmental aspects of the project, helping with tasks such as turtle conservation efforts, gardening, and cleaning up the beach.

They also welcome experienced volunteers to produce marketing and communications content for their eco-project and have an English Teacher position for a minimum stay of six months.

After volunteering you can hike, sunbathe on the beach, read a book in a hammock, play sports make friends with your co volunteers and world travellers and of course learn Spanish. Conditions are quite basic, in a remote jungle setting, a fifteen minute walk from the beach. It’s an indoor-outdoor living style ideal for those accustomed to close connection with nature. Sea turtle season is from June to November.

Those with energy to spare can hike the nearby mountain and float back down the river.
