Community work in Costa Rica
The mix of the ‘pura vida’ (live the fullest life possible) attitude and plenty of home-grown coffee beans means that this country never sleeps! When you get to know the place through community work in Costa Rica you’ll see why there’s no time to waste snoozing; too many tropical beaches and luxuriant rain forests to explore, not to mention the nocturnal visits to Volcano Arenal to watch the lava flows! Community work in Costa Rica is also the best way we know to get to know a country and its people.
The great thing about doing community work in Costa Rica is that you get to see the country behind the headline attractions; when you step off the well-trodden tourist trails here you’ll find a country that most others miss. Costa Rica is one of the only countries in the world without an army and the locals are a similarly friendly bunch. They’ll happily welcome you into their communities with a nice cup of Guaro (traditional rum) and if you tell them you’re here to do community work in Costa Rica they will probably pour you another. We’ve got a number of options for those who want to discover this country through volunteer work so have a browse.
