Jobs in Costa Rica

Since abolishing the army in 1948, Costa Rica has become known as a peaceful oasis in the midst of a turbulent region. Active volcanos, exotic wildlife, lush rainforests, and sandy beaches are just a few of the reasons Costa Rica has become a popular destination. The Ticos (native Costa Ricans), however, are the reason people decide to stay. Friendly and full of life, Pura Vida (pure/full life) is at the very core of Costa Rica. Learn to enjoy each moment, eat abundant amounts of gallo pinto (rice and beans), and earn a living working abroad in Costa Rica, whether teaching English, working in tourism, or joining the conservation efforts saving the pride of Costa Rica, their diverse ecology.

Incredible Jungle Experience

April 28, 2023by: Kirsty Ross - United KingdomProgram: Adventure Guide Training with Gapforce

I had the most amazing and rewarding time on the ELT course with Gapforce. Learning to live and work in the jungle has been thrilling and I have loved the challenges it has presented to us. The adventure of crossing rivers, dealing with poisonous snakes and medical evacuation planning has been an experience I'll never forgot!
