Best Volunteer Program
Join our team and have funVolunteer at Playa El Paredón, Reserva Natural
Imagine living at the beach like a local! Work a few hours a day, while meeting friends around the world or enjoying our backyard beach break and its waves. Feel the breeze while resting in a hammock and share the sunsets while playing volleyball. Improve your surfing or take your first lesson. Start your day with some yoga, jump into the river with a paddleboard in the beautiful mangrove jungle. Practice some spanish, cook with your team and meet the locals that will help guide you through this town.
