The Spanish optimistically called the country "Rich Coast." Mention Costa Rica and people think paradise. Costa Rica, despite being such a tiny nation, draws well over a million visitors every year - and you can see why.

However, with this growing expansion comes threats to the eco system and some of the wildlife patterns. This is why our sole volunteer program in Costa Rica focuses on Sea Turtle Conservation and the preservation of the beach where they come to repopulate each year.
