“Costa Rican Jungle!”

★★★★★

written by Suzy135 on 20/08/2013

For two months I was living at GVI base Jalova and had the most amazing time taking part in the Wildlife expedition in Costa Rica. The base is located in the middle of a coconut plantation on the edge of Tortugero National park an hour’s boat ride to the closest town, in other words, I was in the middle of nowhere! All the staff and volunteers I met had their own unique background with a different story on every lip. Which definitely made life 'in the jungle' that much more interesting! I was taking part in bird and monkey surveys, BASs, and turtle night walks -as Leatherback nesting season had officially started within a week of me being there. My averaged day would start before 7am with breakfast being as early as 4:30am and, depending on if I was on a turtle night walk, wouldn't finish until 3:00 am the next day! There is wildlife in every corner from birds to sloughs in trees, to the different species of snakes on base. It was tiring but great fun! There wasn't a day that went by where I didn't laugh or smile, and when it came to the end of my two months I was very tempted to stay on and never go back!
