Really enjoyed my time there, it was a really safe and enriching experience. Learned a lot about tons of animals! There was a big variety of work assignments. And I really like that they are continually making things better for the animals there. The managers there are really great and made the experience wonderful.

I had an incredible stay at the shelter and I definitely recommend volunteering at this special place! You'll meet lots of other volunteers from all around the world and have a fantastic time with them at work as well as in your leisure time. In addition to game nights, we often watched movies in the on-site cinema, chilled by the pool, and went on trips together on our days off. There were always new, interesting work assignments, and working together with the international colleagues and supervisors always felt very harmonious and fun.

Recomiendo totalmente esta experiencia y puedo decir que todo estuvo perfecto. Desde el momento en que llegué, fui recibida con calidez por la anfitriona. Siempre se respetaban las horas de trabajo y los días de descanso (en los que puedes explorar Costa Rica). Mi estancia en el centro de the shelter fue una experiencia increíble y la recomiendo ampliamente .
