Pura Vida on the Osa

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this project at all - I went over the Summer for 8 weeks (I also spent an extra 4 weeks travelling around Costa Rica after) and had an intense but fun time. Living on the Osa is one of those experiences that you can't really put in to words - I have never been to anywhere like it and the range of animals I saw was extreme - monkeys galore, scarlet macaws, snakes, caymens and much, much more.

The camp is headed up by Dan, who is a really friendly guy and although they expect you to do your fair share of work, it's quite a laid back vibe and everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

One thing - bring something to jazz up meal times - most people were quite happy with the food but after a while I craved some variety. Also, bring lots of mozzie repellant, they can be vicious!
