About Program
Volunteers help patrol the beach to deter poachers, prepare a world famous nesting site for Leatherback, Hawksbill and Green sea turtles to lay their eggs, and to ensure they can reach the sea.
Poaching, pollution and beach erosion threaten the survival of the already endangered sea turtles, so you will be tasked to ensure they thrive.
A useful project which enables you to see the work you do to visibily increase the numbers or this threatened species. Without your help, sea turtles could be an animal of the past.
An adventure you will never forget.

Puerto Limon epitomizes true Costa Rican Pura Vida lifestyle. This town is not a touristy destination and as such, it has maintained more of its roots, which are mainly Afro-Caribbean.
