Highlights
In Costa Rica, 5 out of 7 different species of turtles in the world, all threatened with extinction, come to the beaches to lay their eggs, although the species vary. Here you can support conservation projects with your work by protecting the turtles and their eggs from danger, relocating the nests or accompanying the turtle babies on their dangerous journey to the sea. The daily task is also to clean the beach section so that the turtles can enter the water and land safely. The climate is generally hot and humid, with the Pacific dry season running from November to May. The projects are located directly on the beach; visiting beach resorts with nice cafés and bars or participating in various tours such as horse rides, hiking to waterfalls … are good to do on your days off. Nearby you can also surf great!

About Puntarenas
Puntarenas is a Pacific port on a narrow sandspit in the Gulf of Nicoya, with a seaside promenade, a cruise dock and ferries to the Nicoya Peninsula.
Puntarenas stretches along a sandspit about five kilometres long that pokes into the Gulf of Nicoya, with the sea on one side and an estuary on the other. In the 19th century it was Costa Rica's main Pacific port, when coffee from the Central Valley was carted down to be shipped abroad. Today a long seafront promenade, the Paseo de los Turistas, runs along the beach, and cruise ships call at the dock.
