Trip I Will Never Forget
July 26, 2026by: Matthew Halupka - CanadaProgram: Top-Rated Volunteer Abroad Programs in Latin America
Everything was super great. My host family was excellent, Monica was genuinely the sweetest lady ever. I did the Jungle conservation program at pantera sanctuary and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Everything from the food to the people to the work was excellent. Maximo was very helpful with any and all questions or concerns me or my friends had. 100% would recommend.
I felt the power of the madre de dios
July 26, 2026by: Taizo Shigematsu - CanadaWe would spend the days doing often manual labour and venturing deep into the jungle to collect data, but we still had a lot of time to bond with other volunteers and the staff. Emily, Aldo and Cristobal were all very helpful and they really embodied genuine passion for the conservation of nature. I highly advise anyone interested to try the program, as you really begin to appreciate the Amazon and its importance

Pura vida
July 25, 2026by: Anna Zamboni - ItalyHa sido una experiencia muy agradable me encantó trabajar con los niños. He podido también viajar por Costa Rica aprendiendo mucho. La familia acogida también ha sido muy agradable. Una cosa que se tiene que decir probablemente dar una ayuda Major para llegar a los sito de trabajo porque los primeros días no es muy fácil entender donde están los varios lugares.

After teaching English in Italy in 2016, I realized that I wanted to take this career path more seriously and invest in my education with a TEFL certification. I want to teach in a country that is different than America, where I can genuinely make a difference and help children to have more opportunities in their lives by speaking English and having me as their teacher.
