Proyecto Campanario is a conservation initiative begun by a small group of teachers who began their lives in Latin America over 20 years ago with the Peace Corps. The group, as we were, along with some Costa Rican friends, purchased and have continued to maintain a spectacular tract of rainforest just north of Corcovado National Park in the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica in order to contribute to global conservation in a personal way. We established the Campanario Biological Reserve and have dedicated our efforts to:
- Conserve biodiversity.
- Support tropical research.
- Promote environmental education.
Join us on our treks through majestic forests which drip with bromeliads and vines, and see shy creatures creep through the diverse forest understory. Conduct your own personal study of one of the hundreds of species of flora and fauna which the reserve supports.
Participate in a short tropical ecology course in this remote rainforest, and come with us on trips through the largest mangrove forest in Central America. Join us on scuba or snorkeling trips to the clear waters off Isla del Caño, and visit famed Corcovado National Park.
You can become part of this special effort to protect the biodiversity of this corner of the world.
