Costa Rica is not just a beautiful destination; it’s also a hotspot for a variety of conservation initiatives and the birthplace of the “Pura Vida” way of life. From rainforest preservation to marine life protection, this is a country that values its natural wonders. Volunteering here allows you to participate in impactful projects while enjoying the stunning surroundings.
When it comes to volunteering in Costa Rica, WorkingAbroad has two options to consider.
Why Choose Playa Tortuga?At Playa Tortuga, kids as young as 7 can actively contribute to conservation efforts. Nestled in a lush nature reserve by the Pacific Ocean, families can immerse themselves in activities ranging from sea turtle monitoring to butterfly garden maintenance.
Family Review: “A Real Highlight of Our Time in Costa Rica”

Why Choose Deep Ecology & Sea Turtle Programme?Adjacent to Costa Rica’s biodiversity hotspot, Corcovado National Park, this programme offers families their own personal space in jungle bungalows. With activities like regenerative farming, sea turtle conservation, and free yoga and Spanish lessons, it’s the perfect family bonding experience.
