4 weeks of independent travel timePhotograph of a Central American beach - Gap Year Projects & Volunteering Opportunities in Costa Rica

As your project comes to an end it is not quite time to say goodbye… AV includes approximately four weeks of independent travel at the end of the venture, to ensure a good balance of volunteering and adventure. Costa Rica and the surrounding countries have lots of exciting and beautiful places to explore which you won’t get a chance to do in your weekends alone. Many AVs want to stay on and travel but don’t know if others on the project will too. Therefore we include this extra time to ensure that you experience as much as possible and know that you will have people to travel with. From our experience, travelling is often when problems
occur, from lost passports to getting ill – that’s why we have the motto,
Photograph of a volunteer trekking - Gap Year Projects & Volunteering Opportunities in Costa Rica‘Once an AV, always an AV’ - we’ll still be there to help you, even
though your project has finished.

Different travel options available include: relaxing on the beaches of the Pacific or Caribbean coast; visiting nearby volcanoes, neighbouring Panama or travel further into South America. There is plenty to see and do – the only rule is that you do not travel alone.
