Take the opportunity of volunteering abroad in an amazing place! Our ecological goal is to observe and protect Wildlife.

Come and join us for an unforgettable experience, the only requirement is adventurous blood!

The project Naturaleza Pacuare was founded by local people and is also managed by them. Our goal is to preserve the ecosystem in a sustainable way, to support the biodiversity in our country and to protect the sea turtles, some of which are highly endangered. With the help and cooperation of the local population, we have succeeded in creating an atmosphere in which everyone feels comfortable and welcome. With the knowledge of doing something good and valuable, everyone should have the opportunity to leave a lasting impression on the world.

At Naturaleza Pacuare we know that it doesn't take much to change the world a little. Since our founding in 2019, we have been determined to drive change for the better.

It is a great concern for us not only to provide ecological help, but also to give our volunteers a great opportunity to get to know the everyday life of Costa Rica.

We have three projects, one cares for sea turtles that nest on our Caribbean beach, an other help protect and monitor manatees, the third one helps understanding the behavior and immigration of three kinds of monkeys through monitoring them.

We are looking for someone with passion for nature and wildlife, with good leadership skills. Your tasks will be organizing and carrying out daily activities such as manatee monitoring boat rides (you will be taught to drive the project’s boat), jungle walks for monkey monitoring and night patrols on the beach for the turtles. You need to be in good physical condition as our tasks include a lot of physical work. 

You will also be cooking meals in rotation with the other staff members. Sundays our volunteers cook to give everyone a chance to share their cuisine and meals they enjoy.

You will be given broad knowledge not only about the animals mentioned above, but about all the animals living in Pacuare, so you get a better understanding about the way of nature here.

You will be asked to bring a flashlight with red light, a flashlight with strong white light and a pair of binoculars. 

For night patrols, you will have to bring a pair of long, black trousers, a pair of black, comfortable, closed footwear (can be crocs), a black, long-sleeved T-shirt, alongside with a pair of white, long-sleeved T-shirt to protect you from the sun during monkey monitoring walks.
