About this trip

 Imagine the possibility of living within nature and protecting the most ancient and wonderful animals of the ocean. Be part of the solution in sea turtle conservation strategies while experiencing an authentic immersion in a community surrounded by biodiversity and exuberance. Live the jungle up close and enjoy the wonders that the land of the volcanos offers.


Week 1 volunteer with an award winning NGO and Week 2 explore two ecotourism hot spots: La Fortuna & Monteverde.


  Nesting season for turtles on the Pacific Coast is commonly between July and December. This is when the turtles come ashore to lay eggs on the beach. Please remember that the turtles are wild animals and sightings are never guaranteed, even during nesting season. The projects operate year round and vital work is always being carried out to support the conservation of the animals and their environment. In this unique experience, you'll be hands-on in the protection of marine and terrestrial life resources such as night patrols, beach cleanups, reforestation and more. Work varies.

Hi Ladies,


With this option you will have a private room in the hotels in Monteverde and La Fortuna. 

In the conservation project a private room may not be possible.

At Casa Alma, they will have a private room but the bathroom is shared.

For this reason, the cost of this option is lower than the original single supplement.

If you are in any doubt about taking this trip don’t hesitate jump right in. You get a real feel for the country starting in Guatemala City in the South travelling up to Flores and the great Mayan temples at Tikal in the North with loads of adventures in between. A full fun packed itinerary made extra special by Kim the tour guide. Not only does she have a great knowledge of the country she provides those special moments like an impromptu picnic on a sunset boat trip. The volunteering part of the trip we worked with Fundamaya, an organisation that sponsors pre school education for families that have nothing, this was both rewarding and humbling. A Christmas party for 3 pre schools was a fun special occasion. You will not be disappointed.

Had an absolutely amazing experience staying at Casa Alma and then doing the sea turtle conservation tour in Costa Rica. If you're looking for a travel agency that cares about you and will give you a lot of unforgetable moments, this is it! Thank you Alex, Kim, Flory and Fabi for giving me the trip of a lifetime! Look forward to coming back someday!

This was my 2nd trip to CR with Alma Travel and it surpassed all expectations. I felt safe and cared about at all levels. Casa Alma is a little haven of welcoming with comfortable accommodation and plentiful delicious food cooked by Flory. Alex and Kim nurture your soul. The high level of activities and comfortable accommodations provided in the price was mind boggling! I did not have to think about a thing except having fun!! Turtle Trax was magical! Juan and the research assistants put us to work. I got a clear picture of turtle conversation. Thank you thank you, thank you! 💖👏🏻😊
