Costa Rica boasts lush rainforests with unparalleled biodiversity, beautiful beaches home to sea turtles, and hidden waterfalls in the mountains. This stunning central American country has long been a sought-after destination, for all the right reasons.
Costa Rica
And on your GIA trip you will have the chance to get to know it more than the average visitor. You will work alongside Costa Ricans on your volunteer projects, perhaps helping injured sea turtles or monitoring them in the water. Or assisting in planting seeds in the mangroves - a habitat critical to the survival of both turtles and other wildlife. You could also have the chance to teach local children English, something that will prove vital to them in their future jobs.
But it’s not all work and no play. There will be ample opportunity for you to enjoy zip-lining, white water rafting, kayaking, paddle boarding, surfing, chocolate making and much more. Wherever possible you will be staying in eco lodges which make this trip even more sustainable, while also being a unique experience for you to be at one with nature. Pura Vida!
