Have you ever dreamt of being a Wildlife Ranger? Roaming the rainforest, tending to the wildlife, nurturing the flowers: sounds quite exciting, doesn't it?Journey and arrival:
The nearest airport is San José. From there you can take a bus (reasonably priced and super convenient) or alternatively rent a car to Puerto Viejo or Cahuita. Pick up can be arranged from either of these towns, which will transport you directly to the camp.
Duties of a wildlife ranger:
From repairing trails, taking care of animals, planting trees to hosting guests in the rainforest - the tasks of a Wildlife Ranger are both extensive and hugely exciting. During your time at the camp, you can support Manuel in his daily work, which he carries out among the stunning diversity of different flowers and animals. See how a camp in the rainforest works and how it is run. Please ensure first, however, that you are capable of doing physical labor and that you relish being fully immersed in nature.
During your first days you will help Manuel with odd jobs in order to familiarize yourself with your new environment. Step by step you will learn to complete parts of the work autonomously and move freely through the camp. The longer your stay, the more responsibility and independence you will be given. There is no pre-built program for your stay; it is individually personalized so that it will match the overall experience that you wished for. Besides all your exciting new tasks, you will always have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the breath-taking beauty and tranquility of the rainforest.
Your stay in the camp:
Your stay includes accommodation and food - excluding alcoholic drinks, which can be purchased separately. The camp is built on several platforms upon which the kitchen, sleeping spaces and lavatories are situated. All camp residents will sleep in tents or hammocks. The main focus is to experience nature in its rawest form; therefore, neither electricity nor WiFi are available. If you choose not to stay overnight in camp then we will be more than happy to help you source alternative accommodation.
Catering:
All camp residents pool together to take full responsibility for the catering process themselves. Should you suffer from any allergies or any other food intolerance, don’t worry, you will have a say in what’s going to be on the menu.
Weather:
The sunniest months are March and April, whilst July offers the lowest number of sun hours. Overall, 25 to 27 degrees celsius is the average maximum temperature in Costa Rica. During the night, the temperature usually does not drop below 20 degrees celsius. The months between March and May are mostly dry and considered as the dry season, while fall time in Europe can be considered as the rainy season in Costa Rica.
