Everything was incredible, it was the best experience of my life! Rob and Rebe are incredible and caring, we're well fed, housed, etc. I already miss it, I left part of my heart there, I felt so good there. I'm so grateful to have had this experience with them! I hope to be able to come back one day! Thank you so much!!!

I can only say one thing: thank you! Rob is passionate and loves to transmit, Rebe is so caring and patient. I felt like I was part of a family. the finca is a superb place to live in the jungle, wake up to the sound of birds and eat local products. it's the end of the world but you feel good there and there are very beautiful places to discover around. I had varied tasks for work and I am very happy to have been able to learn lots of new things while practicing my English and Spanish. If you plan to go, don't hesitate, it's a beautiful experience ! Gracias family 🥰 Pura vida !

An advice: go for it! Rob and Rebe are lovely people who I'll never forget, they treat you like family and you really feel at home. I'm more than delighted and grateful for this 2nd volunteering experience. We arrived at the end of the turtle season, so we've been working on the farm to ensure it develops properly. If you go you'll see the lovely wall we painted behind the laundry. Rebe's food omg! Delicious! And we learned a lot about birds thanks to Rob, "you suck my balls" :D Thanks again, I'll be back <3

My experience with the eco village was incredibly valuable and rewarding. Rob and Rebe were professional, engaging & consistent hosts. There was a ton of variety & balance throughout our tasks & everything was extremely organized. The location was breathtaking. Waking up to the sounds of monkeys & greetings by colorful macaws made each day made each day feel like a dream. Rebe prepared each farm to table meal with her soul. Her yoga classes truly resonated with me as well. Rob is kind & genuinely cares about his work. His Spanish classes were also super fun and helpful. I would 100% return.

My time at the eco village was great! Rob and Rebe are both very welcoming hosts and I felt at home during the 10 days I was there. The accommodation is amazing, surrounded by so much nature, and Rebe's cooking was extremely delicious. I learned a lot about turtle conservation and eco farming, and really enjoyed Rob's Spanish lessons and Rebe's yoga classes. I also loved spending time with their 3 wonderful dogs. The work was usually pretty easy and well structured, we also got to make soap which was fun. I felt very at peace during my time there and I am grateful for this experience.

Our stay at the eco village was amazing. Only a ten minute walk to the beach, awoken by howler monkeys and birds every morning, and Rebes incredible cooking were a few things that stood out.

I felt at home at the eco village within a week. The hosts, Rob and Rebe cultivate a welcoming, family-like environment. We actually worked less hours than 5 per day, and the tasks were different every day so had ample free time to go to the beach, read, do yoga, etc! It often didn't feel like actual work because we got to learn so much about plants and animals! The living space is also super clean (and they're proud of it) which you might not think but makes a huge difference in comfort in the jungle. I loved learning new vegetarian recipes with Rebe and always felt full from the food!

I spent 4 weeks at the eco village and every day was truly amazing. Rob & Rebe created a home very far away from home, treating all us volunteers as their family. Rob knows so much about turtle conservation and sustainability, it was amazing to learn from him. Rebe is the most amazing chef with the best energy to be around. The location is a definetly remote, but it was the perfect place to connect with nature and do meaningful work for the earth. Been gone only 2 days and already missing it!

My time at the eco village was beyond anything I could have hoped for. Each day was a new experience that brought it's own challenges & adventures. Being in the jungle surrounded by so many different animals, plants, natural landscapes & locals created the safest environment to learn, relax & truly feel at home. From the moment I arrived I was welcomed not only by Rob and Rebe but also by all the volunteers there. You'll learn about sustainable living & regenerative farming, get hands on experience with the sea turtle conservation project & if you can, take Rob's Spanish class & Rebe's yoga!

Volunteering at the eco village was a really enrichible and beautiful opportunity to learn about permaculture, sustainability and to contribute in the sea turtle conservation. The farm is in the rainforest next to the beach, it's just paradise! I truly recommend going to the beach (5min walk) to see the sunset everyday!! Oh and you'll love food in here, it is delicious! Overall, this is a volunteering focused on taking care of our planet, and I think that everybody should be more aware about this matter.
