Are Maximo Nivel Ethical? Experiences Please
Hi all, I'm planning to go backpacking in Costa Rica and I would like to do a bit of volunteer work whilst there. I found a company Maximo Nivel which claim to be the best volunteering org in Latin America, but is this true? I read a things questioning if they are ethical so I'm not sure about this company especially as its hard to find legit opportunities.
Hi,
Welcome to our forum. Firstly, Costa Rica is a really beautiful country you will really love the experience of backpacking and volunteering here. We don't work with Maximo Nivel on our website so we can't really say if you should apply with them but no organisation can really they say they are the best so this is quite a claim.
If you are still planning your trip these pages will give you ideas:
