Regarded as one of the happiest countries in the world, Costa Rica is a popular travel destination renowned for its natural beauty and thrilling outdoor adventures. However, in recent years, Costa Rica has also been grappling with a growing animal endangerment crisis, which the government has responded to by enacting stringent animal protection laws and comprehensive land conservation strategies. On this trip, volunteer travelers will be able to live on-site at an animal sanctuary and assist with a variety of tasks, including feeding and bathing the animals, playing and exercising with them and cleaning and maintaining the sanctuary garden. The primary objective of the animal sanctuary is to rescue, rehabilitate and ultimately release the injured animals back to their natural habitats, ensuring the welfare of the animals and helping them recover from their physical and psychological wounds. Volunteers will work with a team of experienced veterinarians in addition to the thousands of volunteers from around the world who have helped over the past 10+ years. During their leisure time, volunteers will also be able to partake in nature-hiking, bird-watching, star-gazing, coffee-tasting and traditional sugar cane processing. 

This 8-day trip starts at $1,347 per person and includes food, lodging, and transportation.
