i-to-iCosta Rica
Costa Rica literally means 'the rich coast', and it is an archetypal tropical paradise. Pristine rainforests run down to idyllic golden beaches, and the ‘poco a poco’ (little by little) pace of life is reassuringly relaxed and guaranteed to make travel in Costa Rica a relaxing and rewarding experience.
If you’re interested in volunteering in Costa Rica, you’ll receive a warm welcome at the many conservation projects that attempt to minimize the impact of the ever-increasing tourist developments and the pollution that they cause. There are also lots of opportunities to teach English in Costa Rica and get involved in community volunteering projects across the country.
For those of you considering volunteering in Costa Rica during your travel adventure in Costa Rica or Costa Rica gap year, the news is good. We send lots of volunteer travellers out to Costa Rica to support meaningful projects including building homes for underprivileged families and the country is something of a meeting point for people planning on travelling into Latin America.
