Flights
BUNAC can arrange a flight to suit your needs and we aim to
put volunteers together on the same flight so you travel as a group.
Our tickets are flexible returns allowing you to change your return date whilst
away (subject to airline availability and an administration fee).
Alternatively, if you’d like to arrange independent travel then you're more than
welcome to as long as you arrive in Costa Rica for the start of the orientation.
Our in-house travel agents GS World Travel can give you a quote on
020 7250 0222.
Can I travel after my volunteer project?
Definitely! We encourage volunteers to take time out either
before or at the end of their placement to explore more of the country and Latin
America.
During your placement you will generally have weekends free to travel. Whether you
go waterfall hunting on one of Costa Rica’s many volcanoes, wildlife hunting in
the tropical forest or wave hunting on the pacific coast, Costa Rica is a great
country to combine a volunteering placement with backpacking.

TESTIMONIALS
"I finished my volunteering towards the end of April
and I can't tell you how rewarding it was, daily smiles from the children and their
welcoming and warm nature made every day a pleasure! No matter how hot and sticky
it was!"
Ros, Volunteer Costa Rica
