What's this trip about?

Awake in a traditional chalet just steps away from the ocean. Spend the morning working on a sustainable bottle clinic or volunteering in a local school. In the afternoon, explore the coast and mountains on nature walks and scenic catamaran rides. Once the sun goes down, reflect on the day’s experiences over dinner. You’ll also engage in conversations with your Discover Corps host or with guests who are tackling issues related to environmental sustainability.
