ABOUT THE STATION
For almost 30 years, we have hosted dedicated researchers, students, volunteers, naturalists and other like minded people keen on conservation from over 30 different countries.
We are a unique privately run not-for-profit biological research station located in the tropical coastal rainforests of Costa Rica.
We proudly run our own ongoing monitoring projects. These projects are successful because of some extraordinary people who come from all over the planet to take part.
Visitors pay for food and accommodations, and work long hours, all to gain valuable tropical work experience. We are so proud of the fact that so many of our volunteers have gone on to further themselves in the scientific world.
We host independent researchers, providing them with a base from which to conduct their investigations and have been the part of some amazing publications.

30 years ago, COTERC and Caño Palma Biological Station began our mission to conserve, educate
and provide a special place where science could take root.
Thank you to everyone who helped make our Fiesta Treinta campaign a success. We managed to reach our goal but we are leaving our campaign open for more donations. Every donation helps.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS & INTERNS FOR FALL AND WINTER NOW!
DESPITE THE PANDEMIC, MANY VOLUNTEERS ARE MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE STATION TO HELP US CONTINUE THE PROJECT, WHY NOT YOU?
The Caño Palma Biological Station takes on hard working volunteers and interns to help study and protect nesting sea turtles.
As well, we continue our incredibly important long term monitoring studies, like our focus on the great green macaws, river otters, sea turtle and many more.
We are now looking for experienced and unexperienced people who want to help us protect, conserve and study sea turtles.
You will need a good work ethic and the ability to walk 5km at night.
