The other reviews are very accurate. I'd just like to add that they don't give you any food besides bananas and 2 eggs a day, and they don't give you any tours either (which are supposed to be included). I didn't like the vibe. A lot of people arrived and left right away, because the place wasn't welcoming at all. I only liked that you're very in touch with nature. I was looking for a wellness kind of vibe, so I only truly connected with Neyer (he's great). Wouldn't recommend. There are many other awesome options to connect with nature in the area!

I would recommend this place if you enjoy a lot being in nature and can actually appreciate it's savageness with everything that comes along with it. You cannot expect the same comfort you would have in a hotel but a very peaceful and exotic place- so peaceful that it felt like in exchange your own thoughts become much more present and louder since they are not overrun by other distractive noises and actions. But I would highly recommend to bring plactic bags to protect your important things from growing mold ( in rainy season) and long socks to not get rashes from the rainboots and a torch!

Really loved the experience of living in the jungle close to Corcovado. Elmer's cooking will be the best food I'll have in Costa Rica for sure, and Neier is such a gem as he really elevated the experience of living in a jungle amongst Costa Rican wildlife. Do be aware! This experience is not for everyone. We arrived at the end of rainy season, so everything was humid, our clothes but also linen. ALSO. they give you boots to cross the river to get to the farm, so best bring long socks (and bandaids) to protect your legs and feet from chafing. It might be challenging for some, but so worth it!!

I was travelling across Costa Rica until I wanted to settle down for a few weeks. I found Rio Aguivitas messaged them and within a day they got back to me saying arrive whenever suits me. After staying for 3 weeks I was able to get involved in so much including: machete's clearance, making sugar Caine juices, tubing down the river, planting pineapples, exploring the jungle, birdwatching, animal spotting, chicken work, having fun with other volunteers and enjoying Elmeirs top tier food✅ Will be visiting again and would recommend

I really enjoyed my time at the farm. If you don't speak Spanish I advise you to learn a bit beforehand, so you are able to talk to the locals (they are so friendly). The work was what I expected, gardening and taking care of the chickens. You can find true friendship in the other volunteers, since you do everything together from working to exploring the nature. You have to pay for the food but it was worth it, Elmer is a fantastic cook! Clothes will get dirty, things won't dry easily during the rainy season. But the simple living conditions make the place special and a whole adventure.🌿

The farm was an amazing experience. I was there in the rainy season, so the tasks where less hard. I had an incredible time connecting with nature in many different ways. Elmers food is incredible! Even though meat is his speciality, the vegetarian food was delicious. It is a very good option to pay him for the food instead of going to town every day, specially because the river gets pretty high when it rains. I totally recommend you to go there, the place is magical! Also in the next months there will be many things to do, because they have planned renovations and new constructions. 🦎

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and it couldn't be better. The work is sometimes mor physical but it's really nice to work in the nature with a lot of wildlife. Elmer cook's the best food you will get in Costa Rica with a lot of natural products from the farm. The activity's you can do around the farm are near endless from night tours over waterfalls to beaches everything is included.

The farm Farms(Finca) was exactly what I needed. it was a place to be of service, and receive peace and contentment. The work mostly consisted of taking care of chickens, and clearing pathways through the jungle. Emilio, and Elmer are two brothers who are trying to create a sustainable living from the land. At the same time they provide guidance and understanding. The facilities could use an update, but are very adequate for living in the jungle. Solar, Wi-Fi, and Laundry are available. It is a great place to meet people from all over the world. Come prepared to work, and find peace.

Honestly I would recommend this experience for anyone ready to take it on! Be prepared for 4 inch spiders, lots of dirt, sun and you will always be sweaty. Overall the work was worth the downtime and the prime spot with beautiful places in the river to swim and even a great waterfall. This is in the middle of the jungle and can take up to an hour-ish walk to get to the shore. Take the days off though to explore the beautiful beaches and swimming. The town is touristy so groceries are expensive and the farm probably won't tell you ahead of time to buy toilet paper

I enjoyed this experience :) The place is unique and amazing and the people were nice and welcoming. I wouldn't recommend this to people that are scared of bugs, snakes and dirt. For people that want to connect with nature and be cut off modern world this place is perfect. The kitchen is very simple and the food is cooked on open fire. You can choose between cooking your own meals or pay for delicious meals made from the chef Elmer. Bring enough cash because drake bay don't have any atm's :( The electricity is made from solar power enough to charge the phone during the day and for light.
