Kuruluş
Ara Manzanillo’s is a non-profit dedicated to re-introduce the critically endangered Great Green Macaws to the Sur Caribbean in Manzanillo, Costa Rica. Our four pillars at Ara Manzanillo are to:
I. Reintroduce a wild, self-sustaining Ara population,
II. Engage the local community & schools,
III. Reforest the Ara’s habitat/ food source,
IV. Form international partnerships to protect/ conserve Ara’s around the globe.
Joining our team offers nature lovers and conservation enthusiasts a remarkable chance to immerse themselves in the world of species reintroduction, live within a jungle refuge nearby scenic beaches, and closely engage with some of Earth’s most stunning and charismatic birds.

Konaklama ve Yemek
Hosting situation provided by the Project.
Ara Manzanillo provides housing on-site at the release station. You will share a fully equipped cabin with up to two other people. Accommodations are basic, though set with essentials: cooking utensils, bedding, bath towels, mosquito nets, washing machine, and an open-air porch – volunteers’ favorite room of the house.
Basic food staples (rice, beans, sugar, etc.) are provided by the station. A special diet is generally not a problem. The staple food in Costa Rica is easily adapted to suit most diets: vegetarian, vegan, lactose free and even celiac diets can be accommodated.
Konum ve Serbest Zaman
Ara Manzanillo is in Manzanillo, Límon Province, Costa Rica. Joining our team offers nature lovers and conservation enthusiasts a remarkable chance to immerse themselves in the world of species reintroduction, live within a jungle refuge nearby scenic beaches, and closely engage with some of Earth’s most stunning and charismatic birds.
Puerto Viejo is the closest town, 12 km down the road. While there is a lot to see and do in Puerto, we seek volunteers who enjoy nature and the solitude at times of forest living, as town is a long and at times dangerous bike ride in the dark.
Volunteers should be comfortable living somewhat off the grid, taking in the beauty of the surrounds.
