About project A2: Tenorio

In this remarkable rainforest environment in the shadow of Tenorio Volcano this group will be building trails up to the hot springs high up into the jungle. Volcan Tenorio National Park is in the northwestern part of Costa Rica and includes a huge variety of species in this tropical forest habitat. El Pilon is the headquarters of the park on the northern slope which is famous for the turquoise river – Rio Celeste – which cascades down a magnificent waterfall a short walk from the ranger station. The trail up to visit the hot springs is currently in a poor state of disrepair and need a thorough overhaul – an important priority for the national park authorities. The group will live at the ranger station and will get an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in a tropical rainforest.
