hello!
we are karibu

Be part of this global transformation through 3 initiatives:

COMUNIDADE APOIADA

The Tortuguero National Park was created in 1970 to protect the largest nesting population of green turtles in the Atlantic, seeking to reduce poaching of eggs and adult species. The Turtle Love project, since 2018, has had the mission of preserving turtles through the involvement of the local population, applied research and contact with environmental agencies, executing a community conservation project that protects nesting sites along 5 km of Playa Tres.

Turtle Love, since its inception, has had significant environmental impacts through a multinational team with diverse professional experiences. Check out some of the data collected since 2018 below:

Poaching reduced by more than 70% | More than 3,000 protected nests | More than 300 thousand puppies saved

atividades SOCIAIS

Quem pontua as necessidades é quem as sente. A Karibu, em parceria com as lideranças locais, identifica quais necessidades podem ser trabalhadas e quais as melhores formas de executá-las, por meio das atividades sociais, visando resultados consistentes.

Os interessados poderão atuar em diferentes frentes, mediante suas habilidades. Não é necessário ter nenhum conhecimento específico, pois a Karibu irá capacitar previamente na execução das atividades desenvolvidas. O mais importante é a proatividade para aprender, ensinar e adquirir novas experiências. Serão estruturadas as seguintes atuações:

schedule

In this individual type of travel, you are the one who organizes the schedule and according to your pace. We will send you a suggestion of daily activities and our local team will provide support to make your days very special.

You can stay as many days as you wish in the project (from 6 nights), considering on the first and last day the transfer between San José and Playa Tres. This trip will be done by car between San Jose and Caño Blanco (3 hours long) and then you will take a boat to Playa Tres (10 minutes trip).

acomodação e logística

Accommodation: you will stay at Pousada Lapa Verde, which is very close to where the social activities take place. The bedroom and bathroom are private, and the common dining area is shared. There is no hot water in the shower, but the shower is usually very refreshing after a day of work.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner will always be served at the inn. Due to the region being somewhat isolated from the surrounding area, there is not a great diversity of foods; however, you can expect the following items for lunch and dinner: rice, beans, salad and 1 type of protein (egg, chicken, fish or pork). If you have dietary restrictions or intolerances, don't worry, we will adapt according to possibilities.
