They have several volunteer projects along the Caribbean coast including teaching English, working with turtles and helping with indigenous communities. I volunteered in Puerto Viejo. It's really a great place to live there - tropical, hot and beautiful beaches. The school I taught at only had 3 teachers for 150 children. In Costa Rica a huge proportion of children don't stay in school after primary school so I felt my presence in the school was really needed. Tropical Adventures helped me give my classes and were always on the end of the phone to arrange tours for me or help me out with anything I needed. Check them out if you are interested!
