What a beautiful place. This is a farm in the jungle. You have to cross two rivers on foot to get there. The work is reasonable and sometimes you can put in some hard work. Most of my time working was spent raking the leaves off of the trails around the farm. Every day the chickens, pig, and dogs need fed. You can either sleep in a dorm-style room on a bunk bed or in a tent. For the food, you buy the food and Elmer, el jefe, cooks the food. Elmer is a wonderful cook, all of his dishes are delicious and I'm definitely going to miss them! Mucho gusto y muchas gracias a Elmer y Emilio!

The farm became my home away from home for the 2 weeks I was there, mostly due to the group of people. We lived together, worked together, cooked together, and went on adventures together. Elmer the farm manager was incredibly kind and very responsive to any requests or feedback I had. The farm itself was immersed in the jungle about a 40 minute walk from the town of Drake Bay and you must cross 2 rivers to get there, so if you don't like remote areas it might not be for you. Otherwise a perfect place to connect with nature. An incredible experience, I have no regrets.

First of all I recommend asking how to get there and giving a heads up when you arrive, it will be a lot easier for you. The location is great, you are fully surrounded by nature and have waterfalls somewhat close by. If you don't to walk until there, you can always take a dive in the river right outside the house. The work isn't grinding you to the bones, but can be tedious sometimes. The host tries hard to make it a great experience for everyone.

This has been a very beautiful and transformative time for me. Definitely isn't for everyone but if you're looking to get in touch with yourself and nature this is the perfect place for you. It's a little isolated as the center of drake bay is 30 minutes walking. The walk is beautiful and there is plenty to explore here on the farm. The people you meet here are wonderful. Elmer is awesome with high positivity. Take advantage of the river and waterfall. You'll miss it. Bring repellent. So important. Overall this place is amazingly beautiful and I will definitely return. Pura Vida💚

The farm is right in the jungle, we have snakes and frogs also lizards . you need cross a River to get the farm. So you need prepare for get into water and get wet all the time. I get Drake bay by Sansa flight, you can buy ticket one day before you leave San José, if you are looking for bus, you can take bus at San José to Palmar Norte and then you can take a taxi from bus station in palmar Norte to the dock in sierpe for the boat to Drake bay. Once you get there you can follow the sign to the farm, there is only one big road from dock to farm, it's easy to get the farm.

Fiz o meu primeiro voluntariado pela worldpackers no sítio e não poderia esperar nada melhor, a experiência de estar no meio da selva superou todas as expectativas! Conheci pessoas incríveis que me fizeram sentir em casa desde o primeiro dia e fazer as tarefas de manutenção da fazenda me trouxe bastante aprendizado, tanto sobre o local como sobre mim mesma. Só tenho a agradecer por tudo e espero voltar algum dia pra nadar naquele rio gostoso de novo <3

This place is fantastic! It is directly in the Jungle so there are no streets no noise of the city just the jungle noise. At night it's still pretty hot so you will be sweating even at night. The work is never really hard sometimes there is work that can be fatiuguing but it's a good experience and u will get in touch with nature. The food from the cook is very delicious and he is a very kind and cool person.

Our experience was just amazing! Living and enjoying the nature! I just say it is nothing for people they don't like to get your nails dirty or a few mosquito bits.. but who is curious like us will love it. Elmer is such a cool guy with a big heart. Thank you so much! Falling a sleep with the noise of the insects and waking up with the noise of the chickens. We hope your projects will keep going for the farm, all the best, Thank you for the experience Marco & Tanja

This place is truly a jem for nature lovers. You're fully immersed in the jungle. The work is tough but rewarding, nothing impossible. You have plenty of time to enjoy the place Elmer is a kind and patient host, and a very good cook as well. I also learned a lot about the Costa Rican biodiversity with him. Just be prepared for farm work, seeing lots of snakes and spiders, and bring long socks for boots!

The farm was a great experience for me. This project is not for people that don't love hard work and nature. You will be outside, you will get wet and dirty and it is hard work sometimes. Tasks can include raking, shoveling, planting, feeding animals and carrying clean drinking water down from the main road. The experience of sleeping outside in jungle is priceless and being surrounded by wildlife is magical. Bring tall socks, water shoes, quick dry EVERYTHING, first aid kit, wet and dry bags, sunscreen, and a solar charger. Elmer is a great host. I will definitely return someday!
