There is no other project like this! You can truly feel Albas passion about birds, turtles, organic gardening and her dogs and chickens, and much more. She explains everything so you really can understand the purpose about it. I loved going to the lagoon in the early mornings, I helped also plant tomatoes and spinachs and with more tasks in the organic garden or changing sand in the hatchery. I never missed a sunset at the beach Ganadito, it is a magical and remote place. The food was so delicious. I cannot wait to see how it evolves, for me it is a true project of the heart I wont forget

What an amazing experience ! I recommand this project 300% ! This is exactly why I travel : meeting authentic people and making a real difference. Alba and Manuel are incredibly passionate and welcoming, and Manuel's family made us feel at home from day one. The bird monitoring trips at sunrise were unforgettable, and every day felt meaningful. If you want a genuine Costa Rican experience while helping wildlife conservation, don't hesitate. Authentic, meaningful, and inspiring. Thank you for everything, I wish you all the best, and please keep doing what you do with so much corazón! ❤️

Me encantó conocer a Alba y Manuel, así como a toda su familia. Es un lugar precioso, muy cerca de la naturaleza y de la playa. No es un lugar turístico, entonces tenía la playa casi para mí sola. He aprendido mucho sobre las aves es muy impresionante como Alba puede reconocerlas tan rápido! También aprendí más sobre la permacultura, y planté piñas, por ejemplo! Es un proyecto muy bonito y Alba tiene muchísimos planes para el futuro de este lugar. Tengo muchas ganas de ver cómo va a evolucionar con el tiempo. Voy a extrañaros mucho y por supuesto a Bebé y Tormenta 🐶 también

Note aux prochains volontaires, il y'a deux chiens attachés dans le jardin du logement Malheureusement nous n' avons l'autorisation de ne sortir que l'un des deux elle s'appelle Tigra et est adorable Pensez à demander pour la promener le plus possible dès que vous allez à la plage ect prenez la elle adore et c'est le seul moment où elle peut bouger. sinon pour l'expérience c'était sympa mais quand j'y étais nous n'étions que 4 volontaires, pour la nourriture c'est quasiment que du riz pour les activités en août on a vu malheureusement qu'une seule tortue et on a trop de temps libre

Hola! En primer lugar los perros de los que hablas no son del proyecto NaturaViva, por lo que no somos los dueños. Por otro lado, decidiste acortar tu estancia estando solo 5 dias de trabajo. Durante tu estadia viste tortuga y pudiste trabajar en eso que al final es de lo que se trata el proyecto. Habia 4 voluntarios bastante simpaticos con los que socializar. En cuanto a la comida había garbanzos, carne, sopa, pasta...pero siempre te lo dejabas en el plato, el arroz es un acompañante.
