Our experience with LAST was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Although the amenities were very basic (no hot water, limited electricity, limited cell phone service), the experience you will have here will be like something straight out of a national geographic documentary. We saw so much wildlife: iguanas, howler monkeys, crocodiles, basilisks, and leaf cutter ants, just to name a few. We were also very lucky to have witnessed a leatherback sea turtle on the beach during a night patrol, preparing to lay it's eggs. We also helped prepare the hatchery for sea turtle eggs by digging sand for a couple hours a day, which was a good workout. Fabian, the head biologist, was very knowledgeable and passionate about sea turtles, and has dedicated his life to the conservation of them. All the assistant researchers were also very knowledgeable and friendly. Overall, our experience with LAST felt like a summer camp with a unique hands on experience with the conservation of leatherback sea turtles. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is passionate about helping with the conservation of leatherback sea turtles.
