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.

"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!"
