About project A1: Nancite

Set on a stunning beach in the Northwest of Costa Rica in the Guanacaste Province this group will develop the trails and access to a small ranger station used as a base for the monitoring of turtles that nest here. Playa Nancite is famous for the massive arrivals of Olive Ridley turtles that can nest in their thousands from July to December. During dark nights, particularly in the months of September and October, it is possible to see up to 8000 of these magnificent creatures in one night. Working in partnership with national park authorities this project will allow the park rangers and scientists to better protect these remarkable species. The group will be living in a camp behind the beach and have the opportunity to learn about conservation in this beautiful national park.
