2 Week Programs
1 Week Programs
Research Programs
Costa Rica is a popular travel destination for visitors from the US because of its wildlife, beaches, volcanoes, and rainforests. Travelers find it both safe and welcoming.
During your 6-week adventure abroad, you’ll have the opportunity to work onsite at a few local project locations, including the Osa In Water project, a dolphin research facility, a dog shelter, and a non-profit wildlife rescue located in the rainforest.
Latin American Sea Turtles
We have worked with Latin American Sea Turtles (LAST) to design a sea turtle research program for you that will give you hands-on experience guided by local experts. While you will experience living on a beach on the beautiful Pacific coast of Costa Rica, this hard-working program will not be a relaxing beach vacation! You will, of course, have time to explore the area and enjoy the beach, but there is a lot of important work to do when it comes to sea turtle conservation. We’ll be starting early in the morning each day!
The Osa In-water project is located in Playa Blanca on the Dulce Gulf of the Osa Peninsula. The region is one of the 25 biodiversity hotspots of the world including the Dulce Gulf, one of 4 tropical fiords worldwide. Surrounded by different kinds of beaches, mangroves, and estuaries, the Gulf creates unique habitats for permanent and migratory species. More than 40 different fish species, as well as dolphins, whales, whale sharks, and sea turtles thrive in various ecosystems of the Gulf. The Osa Peninsula hosts a large variety of tropical ecosystems, providing habitats to numerous animals like scarlet macaws, monkeys, sloths, wild cats, and other wildlife, and countless tropical plants. A truly lush nature that still needs to be explored and researched waits here for volunteers. The exceptional natural surroundings make conservation work an exciting and enjoyable experience!
LAST is part of WIDECAST, the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network, which is an expert network of biologists, managers, community leaders, and educators in more than 40 nations and territories who are all committed to the recovery and sustainable management of depleted sea turtle populations.
LAST asks important questions to guide their research:
What would a sustainably managed sea turtle population look like? What would it look like to a government? To a fisherman, a coastal community, a child? To an hotelier, a dive operator, a tourist? What would it look like to a reef, a sea grass bed, a sandy beach?
From the perspective of sustainable development, a sustainably managed sea turtle population would be defined as a population that meets the ecological, economic, socio-cultural, political, aesthetic, and spiritual needs of the present without compromising the ability of the population to fulfill these needs in the future.
LAST seeks to bring the best science to legislation and policy, education and outreach, for training and professionals, conservation and advocacy, and to research and population monitoring.
This program is designed to both ask big questions and empower you to make more informed choices everyday – choices rooted in the belief that decisions today create the choices and opportunities of tomorrow just as the decisions of past generations painted the landscape that we see today.
Jaguar Rescue Center
The JRC works to help abandoned, sick, or injured animals and, ideally, re-release them into the wild. During your program, you will spend your days at and around the wildlife clinic and you’ll stay a short drive away at the release site in the rainforest.
You will arrive at the main international airport in San Jose, and Loop Abroad will provide transportation to the project, which is a full day drive from San Jose.
For 15 years, Lya and her team at Territorio have been rescuing, sterilizing, and rehoming dogs. Currently they are home to nearly 2000 dogs!

CEIC has researched whale and dolphin populations in Golfo Dulce bay since 2012 in an extensive project to document this unique habitat and protect it for future generations.
find out moreIn this six-week program, you’ll work and learn alongside veterinarians and researchers in a variety of small-group settings. This itinerary, and the order of the weeks outlined below, is subject to change but should give you a good overall sense of the program.
In one week, students work with their veterinary leader to provide care to dogs in underserved areas outside of San Jose. Students will learn and practice clinical skills, including:
This week will also give you a chance to explore and learn a bit about Costa Rica, including
Students work in small groups performing physical exams, health checks, diagnostics, and learning hands-on from the vet. Each day will have a lecture-style portion on site and a chance to put the skills learned into practice helping animals in need. On Friday, students help run a spay/neuter campaign getting the opportunity to observe surgeries and prep and recover the patients.
The second week is spent living and learning on the Gulfo Dulce on the Osa Peninsula, on the Pacific Coast about six hours from San Jose. This specially-designed research program gives you the opportunity to participate in ongoing research on wild dolphin populations in Gulfo Dulce.
You will be trained in the on-site research methods and goals, and participate in on-boat research of wild dolphins and sharks. Your time will be split between the boat and the lab, where research includes examining photographic data for photo ID processing and image analysis, necropsies of fish that the local dolphins eat to determine their health status and analyze stomach contents, collecting and analyzing biometric data, and lots of behavior sampling tracking a known population of dolphins.
*Please note: swimming with the dolphins is not permitted, and there are no captive dolphins on-site. This is a wildlife research project. Gulfo Ducle is home to tiger sharks, stingrays, crocodiles, and mangroves, so while it is a wonderful area for marine research, free swimming in the ocean is not permitted for safety reasons. We will have opportunities to swim together in safe beach areas during the program.
Week 4 & 5 – Sea Turtle Conservation
During your middle two weeks, you will learn all about the sea turtle conservation project and the work done at LAST, and have four full days of working on turtle research. This includes boat capture, monitoring and health tracking, and ocean release, as well as beach monitoring.
You’ll also have four full days working on other aspects of the conservation project, including the mangrove reforestation program, which is vital for turtle health.
One day of your program will be spent assisting in a local cat and dog spay/neuter campaign. We will help provide you with the training you need so that you can be as helpful as possible during this important project and get the most out of it.
You’ll also have the chance for fun activities enjoying the many things Costa Rica has to offer, such as a day hiking and exploring in the national park, a kayak tour of the area, and a visit to a local chocolate farm. This portion of the program is perfect for students who want more research hours and a chance to build a deep connection to sea turtle conservation.
The final two weeks of your program will bring you directly inside the lush rainforest.
We will have the day to get oriented and learn the ins and outs of our new home for the next two weeks.
At the center, your weekdays will be full with a combination of:
You will learn from your program veterinarian and the local vet, both through lectures and labs. During clinic shifts, you’ll help the vets respond to animals that arrive at the center or in routine management of inpatient cases.
In the evenings, we will enjoy dinner together and the relax as a group at our housing. Housing has wi-fi but no cell signal.
We will return to San Jose on the final program Friday before departing flights on Saturday. Overall, this program is a chance to explore wildlife medicine in Costa Rica while getting to see first-hand how a successful conservation project runs.
We will return to San Jose on the final program day for departing flights.
