L'esperienza

After years of working for hotels and tour operators in Drake Bay, we've decided to combine our experience to develop our very own ecotourism and farm project. We are building cabins, making forest trails and viewpoints, keeping farm animals and cultivating crops using organic techniques. This is an authentic cultural exchange working with a Costa Rican family in a rural area surrounded by wildlife and outstanding natural beauty.

Dettagli del programma

We are a small family farmstead looking for help from motivated volunteers who are happy to get their hands dirty. In return, we'll provide you with an authentic Costa Rican experience where you'll learn lots of traditional techniques and help to promote sustainable development in Drake Bay. The Ganadito beach community has become a vibrant center for ecotourism, and there are several other volunteer projects nearby, offering lots of opportunities to socialize and share experiences with other backpackers. It's a great opportunity to settle down for a few weeks and live the life of a local.
