VOLUNTARY WORK IN COSTA RICA

Costa Rica is a small Central American country that has become one of the main international touristic destination. It extends from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea and in an area of only 51000 km2 it contains the 6% of the biodiversity of the world. Its big variety of landscapes (beaches, forests, volcanos, mountains, etc) makes this country one of the most beautiful of the world. It is also a country with democracy, security and without army since 1949.
