Mon expérience dans l'organisation a été vraiment merveilleuse et inoubliable. J'ai appris beaucoup sur la conservation des tortues marines, en particulier des tortues vertes, et j'ai découvert davantage l'importance de protéger l'incroyable faune du Costa Rica, y compris les pumas et les jaguars. L'endroit est plein de biodiversité. L'équipe était charmante, la nourriture délicieuse, et Doña Miriam nous a fait sentir chez nous. Partager cette expérience avec un groupe aussi spécial a rendu la semaine encore plus significative. Je suis parti avec de nouvelles connaissances, de beaux souvenirs et des liens. Une expérience que je recommande vivement ! 💚🐢
