Firstly if you're lucky enough to have this opportunity you will be based in the most beautiful, relaxing and authentic part of Costa Rica - off the beaten tourist track but for a really good reason :)
Now when describing my experience at PCR (Planet Costa Rica) it's difficult fit everything in and fully explain in words the great time I had there volunteering for 3 weeks alongside my girlfriend. Right from the start we were greeted by all the loving animals and Allan the owner enjoyed giving us a guided tour of the area. The tasks we were asked of were fun, interesting, varied and beneficial and we never felt as if it was too challenging. After being their just a couple days I wanted to help as much as possible and its the warm and friendly atmosphere which brought this out in myself.
I quickly learnt the names and personalities of all the resident animals and would actively care for them after daily volunteering hours were up. We stayed in a lovely casita with a good shower, comfortable bed, enjoyed looking at the stars at night through the window and sometimes falling asleep to the sound of a tropical night shower!
Breakfast and lunch provided was always of the highest standards and even though Allan was a 'masterchef', he was always open to letting us try our own recipes to add to the menu.
If you're looking for learning more about Veganism, being surrounded by adorable animals, and want to experience real Costa Rica then PCR is the place to be!
Thank you so much for making our travels a whole lot more special :)
