Turtles + Plastic Ocean Conservation in Costa Rica
- Costa Rica
- San José
- Monteverde
About Program
Your time will be spent on the Nicoya Peninsula where you will contribute to our plastic oceans project which includes turtle, forest and beach conservation and working alongside the local children to help spread the word about the importance of preserving our natural world.
Experience includes:
Turtle Conservation
A stunning stretch of beach famous for sunsets, surf breaks and every June-November, a turtle nesting site. Live in a volunteer house right on the beach and help protect the eggs and hatchlings.
Beach and Forest Conservation at Santa Teresa
Live in the hip beach side town where you will help with forest and beach conservation before teaching about the environment, English and swimming to local kids.
Surfing, Spanish and Adventure Week
Since the surf is amazing we have arranged for you to learn how to navigate the breaks and speak the Spanish, before nipping off to the cloud forest for an adventure week of zip wiring and trekking.
