Review Description

Hello! We are MareBlu an Environmental Conservation Organization, based in Costa Rica, founded 6 years ago by our director and activist Geronimo Ciuti Z.

MareBlu is the first official Ocean Plastic recovery expedition program of the beautiful Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.

Our main goal is to minimize the impact of Plastic Pollution in our oceans, rivers, and coastlines through our coastal cleanup expeditions and our preventive, corrective and regenerative programs that are possible thanks to our international volunteer program. We have had volunteers from more than 50 countries around the world participating in our projects. We also receive sponsorship from Companies and friends that believe that change is a priority for our planet.

MareBlu’s Volunteer Camp is located inside of Punta Leona Resort, which is an hour’s drive from San Jose International Airport. 

Punta Leona is surrounded by natural beauty and in the heart of the central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.

This location allows us to be close to many beaches, that desperately need our help. Plastic Pollution from our main rivers coming from San Jose combined with poor commercial fishing practices are the major sources of contamination on the coastlines. Our camp has sleeping quarters for 12 volunteers at a time and serve all meals.

Expérience exceptionnelle dans une association qui porte très bien la mention "non lucratif". Paula, Geronimo, vous qui êtes les deux porteurs de ce projet le faites à merveille ! C'est une chance inouïe que de se trouver dans un resort aussi confortable pour si peu cher, que d'avoir l'occasion ...
