Global Vision International:
This adventurous expedition offers individuals the opportunity to explore, live and work in the most remote region of Costa Rican rainforest on the Caribbean Coast. The main projects are based upon turtle research, Jaguar research, mammal camera traps, bird monitoring, exploration of the National Park and Wildlife Refuge, environmental assessments, environmental education and a short ‘Introduction to TEFL’. Some of the research projects take place a long distance from base and so expedition members have the opportunity to camp out in groups away from the base and to explore the regions forests and beaches.
If you are looking for a rainforest adventure with the added bonus of tropical beaches and marine wildlife, then this is definitely the one for you. The expedition base is situated next to a waterway, with a boat dock, surrounded by rainforest, with monkeys, caiman, otters and other wildlife regularly sighted from base, depending upon your luck. Across the waterway there is the nearby beach, a short canoe ride away. There is no road access to the region and so all transportation is via kayak, canoe and motor canoes, through the stunning canals and rivers, surrounded by tropical rainforest and its associated wildlife. The area surrounding the station is protected primary and secondary forest and the station is located at the very southern border of Barra Colorado Wildlife Refuge, which together with the National Park makes up more than 120,000 ha of protected forest.
