What a month it has been at the organization! We have loved every minute whether supporting the recycling project, social project or just supporting the daily running of the organization. The location is beautiful, only a 10 minute walk from the beach and town of Puerto Viejo. The team took us in like family and we wouldn't hesitate to go back!

Our first Worldpackers experience was very special and has set a very high standard for future volunteering. The location is stunning — immersed in rainforest yet close to the stunning beaches. The hosts and staff welcomed us like family. The work was meaningful and values-driven, and we'll carry those lessons with us on our travels. We hope this won't be the last time our paths cross and are very grateful for the experience.

This was our first volunteering experience in Costa Rica and it was truly remarkable. We felt very welcome, appreciated and could benefit from our profession as teachers in the social projects as well as taking care of the younger volunteers. We recommend this stay to anyone who wants to stay in one of the most beautiful areas of Costa Rica for free + food with an awesome host/staff in exchange for responsible and creative work. Beate regularly asked us for our opinion, how to improve projects and let us free reign on organising activities with the younger volunteers. 10/10!!

I had an excellent experience at the organization! I was helping in some projects like Recycling and Casita Caribe (with children), and also I helped to build a Landing Page and to create some contents for their social media. The tasks were really chill and the times were totally respected. The place is nestled in the jungle so it's a really nice experience to live completely surrounded by nature. Beate, Fede, Leo and all staff are super friendly and kind. Thank you so much again and I hope to see you before long!

Finding the organization and staying there for 4 weeks was the best unexpected twist of my digital nomad trip. When I happened to read about them, I immediately felt a strong pull and applied a moment later. After few days, I was already at Casa Caribe, ready for new adventures. I got to do various things and meet many amazing people. I enjoyed being responsible for my own tasks, finding solutions, being creative, offering ideas, and being able to contribute. The story of the founders, Beate and Fede, is really special, and the location is truly paradise-like :) Muchas gracias 🙏

It was such a good experience to stay and learn so much in this paradise The team is lovely and it's calm, in the middle of the jungle, Puerto Viejo is a nice place to stay I've worked in the locals schools and did amazing workshops for the kids about environmental consciousness I really liked working in team and be free about the content/ how to run a workshop and be creative Thanks a lot Pura Vida 🤍

We loved our stay at the organization, a fun place with lots going on, staying a long time is a real benefit so you can enjoy the freedom of taking ownership of projects your working on and getting involved in the community. It takes a week to settle in and find your role but once you are settled you will feel part of the casa caribe family.

Good experience overall. The hostel is stunning and the food is so good. Good environment with the managers and cool vibes with the other volunteers. Pretty far from everything tho (beach and supermarket are like 15 minutes walk)

Muy tranquilo el voluntariado en la sede de Cahuita. Escuchas y ves animales distintos todos los días. Lo incómodo es convivir con mosquito, pero con mosquetero y buen repelente sobrevives. Está cerca el paradero para poder recorrer la zona. Agradecida de la estadía y de cada persona que conocí en este voluntariado !
