About this trip

 Imagine the possibility of living within nature and protecting the most ancient and wonderful animals of the ocean. Be part of the solution in sea turtle conservation strategies while experiencing an authentic immersion in a community surrounded by biodiversity and exuberance. Live the jungle up close and enjoy the wonders that the land of the volcanos offers.


Week 1 volunteer with an award winning NGO and Week 2 explore two ecotourism hot spots: La Fortuna & Monteverde.


  Nesting season for turtles on the Pacific Coast is commonly between July and December. This is when the turtles come ashore to lay eggs on the beach. Please remember that the turtles are wild animals and sightings are never guaranteed, even during nesting season. The projects operate year round and vital work is always being carried out to support the conservation of the animals and their environment. In this unique experience, you'll be hands-on in the protection of marine and terrestrial life resources such as night patrols, beach cleanups, reforestation and more. Work varies.

What a wonderful and diverse tour! Under Kim's guidance, we experienced so much of what this fantastic country has to offer - from the heat of the Amazon where we stayed in little wooden cabins, spent time with the local community, explored the forest and fished in the river - to the wonders of Machu Picchu and Cusco. I loved it all.

Casa Alma Travel with Kim and Alex provide the absolutely best travel experiences I have ever had! We were a group of six from Canada, ranging in age from 19 to 77. Everyone loved the activities and was well fed. All of the accommodations were absolutely perfect. Kim and Alex just make you feel so comfortable and cared for. We could completely relax and just appreciate Costa Rica. This was actually my second trip with them after travelling with a group of adult students as their chaperone a year ago. Highly recommend!!

We had great time. Kim and Alex are very caring leaders and all our needs were met . We had a good group enough people to find your people which was great. Starting with the Amazon was the highlight for me. A good 3 days in the forest on the river fishing or night walk to observe nature in the wild. All very grounding. Matchu pitchu , Cozco were fabulous locations as described on the tin. In all very satisfying experience. Would recommend this trip to anyone, I already have . Thank you both for this well organised amazing trip . Xx

If you are in any doubt about taking this trip don’t hesitate jump right in. You get a real feel for the country starting in Guatemala City in the South travelling up to Flores and the great Mayan temples at Tikal in the North with loads of adventures in between. A full fun packed itinerary made extra special by Kim the tour guide. Not only does she have a great knowledge of the country she provides those special moments like an impromptu picnic on a sunset boat trip. The volunteering part of the trip we worked with Fundamaya, an organisation that sponsors pre school education for families that have nothing, this was both rewarding and humbling. A Christmas party for 3 pre schools was a fun special occasion. You will not be disappointed.

Had an absolutely amazing experience staying at Casa Alma and then doing the sea turtle conservation tour in Costa Rica. If you're looking for a travel agency that cares about you and will give you a lot of unforgetable moments, this is it! Thank you Alex, Kim, Flory and Fabi for giving me the trip of a lifetime! Look forward to coming back someday!
