Free Time in Puriscal

Volunteers in Puriscal, Costa Rica find that Puriscal’s central location makes it very easy to travel around Costa Rica and see its many sights during their free time. Volunteers can explore La Cangreja Wildlife Refuge, not too far away in a beautiful forest. Volunteers can participate in sport activities in the community, visit Internet cafes, make use of the local gym, visit outdoor swimming pools and more. Many volunteers will also enjoy spending time with new friends in the community, teaching English, and assisting teachers in an evening community college.

In addition to the community activities, there are many local coffee plantations to explore in the area as well. San Jose is only about an hour away, and Puriscal is well situated for a weekend trip to the beach on the Pacific Ocean. Other possible weekend trips might include visits to hot springs, coffee farms, rivers where you can enjoy white-water rafting, horseback riding trails, and botanical gardens.
