My time at the eco village was nothing short of spectacular. Rob, Rebe, Felipe, and everyone else on the team are masters of their crafts, and so clearly care deeply about the project. We never had a dull day, and were able to feel like we made a meaningful impact during our stay. Best of all the food was AMAZING, everyday we had 3 delicious hand cooked meals that were genuinely jaw dropping. Thank you guys for all your hard-work and dedication, I can't wait to be back one day!

My experience at the eco village was like no other!!! I experienced tranquility, inspiration like never before, delicious food, learned about my impact on the environment and was utterly amazed at the hospitality the hosts had to offer! I'll let the pictures and descriptions speak for themselves, and to anyone still reading: go out of your comfort zone and do hard things! Go on this trip! You will learn more about yourself and nature in your short time at Finca compared to anywhere else!

I had an amazing time at the eco village! Everyone was so welcoming and knowledgeable! The property is beautiful and in an amazing location. The work they have you doing truly makes you feel fulfilled and like you are making a difference. This was my first World Packers experience and I could not recommend it enough!

There are only good things to say about the eco village. Rob and Rebe are such wonderful people and hire so many other wonderful people for the staff. They are so welcoming and I always felt warmth and inclusivity from everyone who worked there. Facilities are really nice and clean, and the food was absolutely out of this world delicious. I couldn't recommend it more, especially to someone solo traveling for the first time. Getting to acquaint yourself with a solo traveling by being in a group environment to kick off your trip is the perfect way to do it. Much love to Rob, Rebe, and staff🤍

My time at the eco village was one of the best experiences I've had in my life thus far! Rob and Rebe were amazing hosts, Feli and all the volunteers, solo WP travelers and the families that were there were all such amazing individuals. Being apart of the culture and putting in the work for sea turtle conservation was amazing! Living and working on a self sustaining homestead, doing group activities, family meals 3 times a day was soo nice and the food was delicious. The energy that the eco village was like no other, very welcoming, very peaceful, it was a very humbling experience.

It's hard to put into words how special this place is. This was my first time hosting a group trip, and from start to finish, Rob, Rebe, and Felipe went above and beyond to make sure everything flowed with so much care and ease. They were incredibly communicative and involved every step of the way leaving us feeling like family by the end. You can tell how much love and intention they've poured into this place. The work we did felt meaningful, the food was incredible, and the energy of the finca itself is just magic. A piece of me will always be there, and I'd go back in a heartbeat!!!

I absolutely loved my stay at Finca! Rob and Rebe made us feel at home and brought us right into the projects! We learned so much about sea turtle conservation, got to experience authentic local culture and we were immersed in the Costa Rica jungle. From the coconut workshops to the night patrols, I loved every moment🌎💕

This was such a wonderful experience, I attended with a group of other travellers who I hadn't met before but connected with and hope to stay in touch with! The hosts were absolutely amazing and made everything feel like home. They were super friendly and knowledgeable and I was sad to leave. The area is gorgeous and the impact they're working to make is such an inspiration. We were able to go out on night turtle patrols and found eggs, it was an emotional moment for a lot of us and is a memory I will treasure.
