I stayed for two weeks volunteering with ACOTPRO and it was a very good experience. Alba and Manuel were great, always available to answer our questions ! I learned many things about sea turtles and conservation. I really enjoyed the meals. The environment was beautiful, and the experience allowed me to connect with nature and meet wonderful people. I highly recommend this volunteering opportunity to anyone interested in conservation!

I stayed at ACOTPRO for 4 weeks and I had the most incredible experience!! I can't recommend this volunteering experience enough! I met so many amazing people while staying there, both local and other international travellers. This was my first time solo travelling and the hosts made it so easy to plan excursions and helped with any questions or queries I had. The entire team is so friendly and the experience is exactly as described. Would love to go back in the future 🫶🏻

This has been a really nice experience, the place is wild, beautiful, just in front of the beach that you will have for yourself! The team is nice and gave us a lot a freedom and independance. The cooker was amazing, we really enjoyed her food. The working hours were in the morning for us (december so hatching season) and it was pretty chill, not too hard at this time, we got to release the baby turtles but haven't seen the big ones. It's important to make sure to read the tasks that can be very different depending on the turtle season. I recommand this misson if you want to relax! Thanks

Volunteering at ACOTPRO was the best experience ! Learning about turtles, living in the most wonderful place across the ocean and the jungle, meeting the members of the association and making friends with the others volunteers was incredible. Delicious food always, chill work and lots of time to relax and explore around. I would recommend this experience to everyone! Thank you Alba, Manuel, and everyone from ACOTPRO (and Bebe and Tormenta) for making it the most amazing experience.

I had a wonderful experience with ACOTPRO! Everthying was as expected, the hosts were very friendly and helped with anything you might need. Releasing the turtles was a unique expierence, but learning about turtles has also been very interesting and helped to better understand the importance of protecting the sea/sea turtles and raising awareness towards nature. Although the weather wasn't the best, spending time with the other volunteers has led to many beautiful memories and friendships. As a small advice, knowing Spanish helps you a lot to communicate with the host and the local people :)
