The eco village is an absolutely amazing place! It is full of so much natural beauty and you are constantly immersed in nature. Rob and Rebe are absolutely amazing hosts! They were extremely welcoming and accommodating. The food is delicious and Rebe works with you to make sure you enjoy every meal. You also learn so much about the local animals and plants!

It is difficult to put into words the beautiful experience I had at Finca Ganaditos. It was my first time volunteering, the first time travelling alone and the first time away from home, and I am grateful that it was at the Finca. Rob and Rebe made me feel at home from the first day🥹 In the various activities that I was involved in, I could see the love and dedication that is put into the project, and it is always a pleasure to be part of a team that enjoys and loves what they do. 🐢💚

That was my best experience as a volunteer! Rebe and Rob are so passionate about the project and really open their home with love for everyone. They're always happy to chat about the project and share their wisdom. At Finca, it feels like one big family, and everyone looks out for each other. You get to learn a ton about sustainable living and the turtle project, why it's crucial to protect them, and why that matters. Plus, the place is amazing and peaceful, surrounded by nature, jungle sounds, and really close to the oceanBig thanks to the eco village for being a family for me Miss you alredy

The eco village is a magical place! If you really want to dive into jungle life and learn through a hands-on experience, this is the place. Rob and Rebe were so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. I learned so much about turtle conservation, farm-to-table and sustainability. I am very grateful for having had this experience! Lots of love from Colombia! XOXO

I had the absolute best experience at this Worldpackers host in Costa Rica! Everything was just amazing from start to finish. I loved every single minute of it — the food, the cooking, the people — everything was perfect. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming, I felt like part of the family from the very beginning. It honestly felt like home away from home. I'm so grateful for this experience and I appreciate them so, so much. Thank you for making my time in Costa Rica unforgettable. I'll definitely be back one day! ❤️

This is my second time visiting the eco village. I visited once in September of 2023 and then decided to come back during my school break this time. I really love coming here and who I become when I am there. I love the experience, the people, the food, and especially the community that Rob and Rebe have cultivated in their home. Traveling alone abroad can be scary but this place made me feel grounded and safe. I really recommend coming here, it's an amazing way to travel with purpose. I can't wait for the next time I get to visit!

Our experience at the eco village was nothing short of magical. From the serene location on the coast of the Osa Peninsula, to the incredible founders of this little slice of heaven, we truly could not have asked for more. Rob and Rebe are truly incredible and inspiring human beings, that empower others to make impactful changes to both their health and the environment. The activities coordinator, Anna, is extremely knowledgeable, bright and over all an extraordinary light. Getting to be apart of their family during our stay, and everything they taught us, will live with us forever.
