Turtle Conservation in Ostional

I did two weeks of turtle conservation in Ostional and it was great! You start off in San Jose, where they provide a host family for you. Here you get all the necessary information (including where you are going) and you get to meet the other volunteers. How to get to that location is well explained and they give you the exact cash so you don't have to worry. I lived in the dorms in the ranger station and it was so nice! Jairo, the rangers and Yami (the cook) are incredible friendly and helpful. The food was great and there are some places to get snacks/smoothies nearbye. It was very hot when I was there but the coordinators try to create the planning in a way that you can work before or after the peak hours, which was great. The fun part about this is that all the research that you do, goes to a national database so everything you do is valuable which I loved.

The overall experience was great and I really recommend it to others!
