Volunteer Travel in Costa Rica
Between the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and the beautiful barreling waves of the Pacific Ocean, the beautiful paradise of Costa Rica is teeming with lush flora, interesting fauna, thick jungles, million-year old rainforests and rocky peninsulas; making it a spectacular destination for anyone wanting to volunteer abroad. Given that over 25% of the country is designated as protected terrain, there is an enduring untouched natural beauty to Costa Rica that will leave you wanting to come back for more.
With amazing surf breaks, renowned climbing, thrilling white-water rafting, and sights as dramatic as night time volcano eruptions and as intimate as leatherback turtles laying their eggs, it could be tough to fit it all in! Yet if youd prefer, you can take it easy enjoying rural life with the friendly tico and adopting the Costa Rican ideology Pura Vida, which stresses the importance of living life in a chilled way surrounded by nature, family and friends.
