  Autres infos...

  Santa Catalina is a charming little beach town where you can slow down the pace of life for a while. Immerse yourself into the local culture and become one of the villagers during your stay. The beaches are lovely, the locals are friendly, and the vibe is laid back here.
  
  You should also be aware that although for us Santa Catalina is close to paradise, some people find it difficult to live here. Few shops, little night-life, difficult internet, bugs, heat, power cuts, and water shortages are a part of the
  experience and you need to be aware of that. This volunteer opportunity is not for everyone! We love the tranquility and simplicity as much as someone else might hate it.
  
  We find our joy in the millions of stars at night, stunning sunrises and sunsets, walks on the beach, and socializing with our friends.
  Through the work we do, we meet new people every day with whom we can share the
  amazing experience of the wildlife and natural beauty in Coiba and we work hard to make that experience
  unforgettable for them. In return, they enrich our lives by sharing their stories and
  experiences with us and always bringing a breath of fresh air to Catalina. We are looking
  for someone who will hopefully share this passion with us.
  
  Please understand that if you are applying for more than 2 months in advance it may take
  us some time to give you a definite answer. We sometimes allow our volunteers to extend their stay and
  can therefore not plan that far ahead.
