This was an amazing experience, made great especially by staff

I came to Costa Rica on a volunteering trip with my university for eco-tourism learning. The farm that we volunteered at had us engaged with the work and really helped understand the work and somewhat the living of the people in the area. The places that we were lodged were great as they were comfortable but didn’t feel like some fancy hotel that was meant for tourists. The staff that accompanied us, Matt, was really helpful in translating and keeping us on schedule and informing us about the area. I think they did a great job of making this trip about learning was still involving fun activities that gave us a look at Costa Rica’s flora.
