I had a very interesting time at Lani’s farm. For me, it was a completely new experience to live without electricity or sanitary facilities and i recommend it to everyone who wants to challenge themself! Lani is a nice host and the tasks are also pretty easy. It is a different life style and it can be hard to adjust to it but it’s worth a try! And you will have time to calm down, reconnect with nature and let go of the travel stress :) i recommend it for the experience!

I volunteered at this ecological farm, disconnecting from social media due to the lack of electricity. I woke up and used the woods as my bathroom, then walked to the creek to shower. Afterwards, Lannie would wait for me with a super healthy breakfast. I also walked her dog, Mani. The place was so relaxed and in touch with nature. Lannie has many animals that keep her company. This place felt like a retreat - one week of healthy food and surrounded by nature.
Thank you Lannie for letting me live this experience
Lots of love 💕

Lani, the owner of this farm is such a lovely person and you get to learn a lot about your connecting with the nature and spirituality. The little farm is very off-grid but very cute and peaceful with a lot of animals around. The only negative thing I have to say is that there is not a lot of things to do so sometimes it was a little bit boring but fair to say, we only have been there for 2 days, so maybe we would have had more work on the other days.
All in all it is a perfect place to find yourself and grow with your own company. :)

Lannie transmite los valores de la naturaleza y de la vida simple en primera persona. Te muestra una forma de vida alejada de la sociedad y del mundo exterior donde los protagonistas son los animales y la biodiversidad.

Recomiendo este voluntariado solo si tienes pensado pasar unos días o semanas alejado literalmente de todo. De lo contrario, es un lugar que se encuentra relativamente lejos del pueblo Bribri (40min andando) siendo así difícil tener acceso a electricidad y señal wifi. Es complicado emparejar el tiempo del voluntariado con cualquier otro tipo de actividad.

la experiencia fue chocante al principio, pero gracias a todas las personas involucradas en el proyecto nos sentimos acogidas :) recomendaría esta experiencia a gente interesada en estar muy en contacto con la naturaleza, pero no para gente que quiera aprovechar para visitar lugares de costa rica, ya que las tareas se distribuyen a lo largo del día y se dan dos días libres por semana. pero buena comida, gracias a todxs :)
