Language Volunteer
The best way to learn a language is to experience it. Under this program the volunteers will interact with our workers in Spanish while performing activities of the ranch. In this way the volunteers not only learn the language, they learn the culture and ranching skills. This program is only available to our language students.

The costs of the programs change depending on the length of your time with us, the program you choose, and the abilities you can share with us. If you want more information please contact us through the following email address volunteers@ranchomargot.org.

Animal Rescue and Reintegration Center
In this center we receive all kind of animals that have been decommissioned by local authorities (MINAE) and the forest rangers. Some are recovering from injuries others have been in captivity and consequently are not able to be immediately integrated into the wild.

Our guests are invited to participate in all our ranch activities as well as Rancho Margot projects. This participation can take on many forms. You may want to actively plant a tree, adopt an animal or go with the forest rangers on patrol.
