Imagine your group taking part in an experience of a lifetime, traveling to Santa Teresa, cleaning up beaches of plastic debris that is plaguing our planet, working with a local animal rescue facility to ensure that sea turtles have a safe haven to hatch before they make their journey to sea.
Costa Rica is a vibrant country, renowned for its warm people and very progressive, ecologically-conscience government, but the country still faces a myriad of problems related to an influx in regional migration. Some segments of the population still have limited access to healthcare, education, and social services.
Volunteers will also participate in traditional cooking classes, and adventure such as ziplining through the rain forest and tubing down the river.
