About Turtle Volunteering
Monterrico sits at the heart of the Biotopo Monterrico–Hawaii, a nature reserve that embraces a 20km-long beach, blessed slice of the Pacific coast and includes a vital turtle-nesting ground, abundant wetlands and the small villages of Monterrico and Hawaii.
During week 3 of the Learn Spanish & Volunteer program our volunteers move to Hawaii beach for a placement at ARCAS wildlife & turtle sanctuary. Here our efforts are centered around sea turtles and the hatchery (in season) and rehabilitation efforts for other species cared for here.
