Volunteering in Costa Rica

I had a great experience with Tropical Adventures back in October 2007. I spent 2 weeks volunteering in Bambu Talamanca on the Indigenous reservation. The Tropical Adventures staff spent a lot of time before my arrival preparing me for my experience.
I loved staying with the host family, and have kept in touch with them since my departure. The residents and staff at the retirement home were so sweet and appreciative of the time I spent with them.
Everyone in town, while a bit shy at first, really warmed up quickly and made me feel at home.
This project is in a very remote area, no phones, Internet or TV.
The tours available here are truly unique, travelling into the country of Panama by dugout canoe was my favorite!
