Emprende Verde: Purposeful Volunteering in Nature

Sanja and Angel are generous and kindhearted people. They welcomed me as if I was part of the family. The working hours are very flexible and the overall vibe is nice and comfy. Be ready to taste wonderful traditional dish and have an immersive experience in the everday life of costarician people. My only regret is I wish I could have been able to talk proper spanish so as to be able to communicate and share more with them.

Sandra and Angel made us feel very welcome at their farm. They are really nice, friendly and openminded people and we miss them a lot! Their property is really beautiful and now and then you get to see monkeys, parrots and tucans! We had a lot of free time to take walks, go to the river(it's 30mins away and you can swim there)or just hang out in the hammock and read. For some money the will also take you on day trips (to La Fortuna for example). They also have 3 very cute dogs. I wish we spent more time there than just two weeks. If I ever come to Costa Rica again I will go to the farm again!

This was my first volunteering experience and I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot thinks about animals and plants, got to know locals and their culture and had some amazing days. I felt like I was at home. Thank you so much for everything!

The lodge is a very beautiful place! i got to see monkeys, goats, birds, frogs, cows, and dogs! i loved seeing all the animals. The food was so delicious! Sandra is a great cook! Sandra and Angel are so nice and great hosts. we did some gardening work and i did some art projects. the farm is cute and in a very small town. it's a short drive or a long walk from a river that you can swim in. Sandra and Angel took me out to see a hotel near their farm that had an amazing view! My stay at the lodge was pretty great although the sleeping area was not as clean as i would have wanted.

I only spent one night here but their estate was beautiful. Sandra y Angel were incredibly nice and very understanding. If you are okay with being deep into the jungle with incredible people and some insects, this is a great choice for you!

Angel and Sandra are wonderful people, very caring and sweet. The farm is far from the village but this contribute to the immersion experience. We had the pleasure to live as local people and to meet some of them. All in all, it was a mind blowing experience, that we recommand to other. Plus, we really improved in Spanish and learnt about the life in a finca :)

I loved my time at the Finca and I am so happy about choosing this experience!!! Sandra and Angel are amazing people with a big heart, open mind and they made me feel so comfortable and welcomed! The Finca is absolutely stunning, in the midst of beautiful nature and animals. I learned a lot from my time there from cooking, working with plants, substanibility, recycling to the generell living of locals in Costa Rica. You can find a lot of time to connect with the nature but also with yourself. Ps: I was happy to bring a moscitonet :)

If you keep in mind you are going to work on a farm, this is a great experience. I appreciated the large portions of good food (thank you Sandra) and the flexibility of the schedules. I do have to say who you are with greatly effects your experience there as there aren't many other people you interact with other than the family and other volunteers. That being said there is also Missy the cat that will always be there to hang out. Overall I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to work on a small farm and learn about Costa Rican culture.

Notre séjour chez Angel et Sandra fut incroyable ! Nous avons partagé d'excellents moments qui resteront gravés dans notre mémoire 🥰 Angel et Sandra étaient pleins d'attention : la délicieuse cuisine de Sandra, les ateliers coiffure, les petits goûters, les sorties à la rivière ou à la cascade, la virée à la Fortuna… Tout était fait pour nous faire sentir comme à la maison ! 🥺 Quant au travail celui-ci était principalement concentré sur des taches de jardinage. Le savoir de Sandra nous a permis d'apprendre pleins de choses sur la culture et les différentes plantes qu'on retrouve à la ferme 🌱

I had an amazing experience! The hosts and other volunteers were so kind and welcoming, and felt like family. The work is pretty physical, but we took a lot of breaks and sometimes did activities instead of working. The farm is beautiful and in a very rural, jungle area so be prepared for cold showers, minimal cell phone service, a lot of bugs, and a long walk to town whenever you need anything. The hosts also do not really speak any English, so the experience is going to be more challenging unless you speak a decent amount of Spanish. I loved my time there and I really felt at home!
