Welcome to the Jungle

Three years ago I took a study break and decided to take part at this volunteer program. It was my first time in Costa Rica and I was not really sure what to expect, as there hadn't been any reviews about this program. So now I am happy to share my experiences with you - because my time at the farm was definitively one of the best in my entire life!

The mission is as simple as it is important: We tried to do our bests to protect the Los Guardianes - a tropical rainforest and one of the most beautiful places you'll ever see. For me it was my first time in a jungle and i fell in love immediately! Every morning there was a meeting where we discussed our daily tasks. Tasks were various so it never got boring and it is kind of difficult to sum it up. Of course you should not have any problems with manual work, because sometimes it can be exhausting. But when you see your work at the end of the day and you know that you are helping to preserve one of the most beautiful places on earth, you know that it was worth it. We also had contact with the BriBri, indigenous people that are living in the jungle, which was very interesting for me as well!

All in all, I totally can recommend this program to everyone who is looking for an incredible and unforgetable time amid the tropical rainforest of Costa Rica!
