NIH Exchange Project visit to Costa Rica - Learning about marine pollution and spotting wildlife
Breakfasts at the Corcovado biohostel are always welcome ahead of an exciting day of volunteering!
No one goes hungry with the great variety of locally-sourced fruit on offer.
In the jungle the group members have had to watch out for visitors at the breakfast table though!
After finishing breakfast, the group was given an interesting talk on marine pollution by a member of the Corcovado Foundation. This was followed by an opportunity to help staff with litter-picking while hiking around the national park.
With the trail looking a lot better (and safer for wildlife), the group members spent some time birdwatching and had the chance to try some sugarcane!
While taking in the amazing scenery, they managed to spot a sloth!
With another exciting day of volunteering ahead of them, they then hiked back to the biohostel for an early(ish) night.
