This was hands down the best experience of my life. Working with these amazing people has changed me forever. If you want to understand what it is like to truly live like a local costa rican and learn to do what it takes to live off the land this is the best place to do so. All that exist at the farm is light and love. A place to grow, heal, and learn all this beautiful landscape has to offer. Cannot express enough how grateful I am for my time here. 🤍

My experience at the farm was absolutely incredible! The family was so kind and easy to get along with, and I was able to practice my Spanish with them, which was very exciting. The farm is beautiful and it was fascinating to learn the day to day jobs and live in the middle of the jungle. Along with basic tasks of the farm, you see an abundance of wildlife each day and the downtime spent exploring the jungle or the town of Drake Bay is time well spent. One of the best experiences I've ever had. I highly recommend doing an exchange with this wonderful family.

Had a great experience! If you really love nature, you will fit right in. Great food, and great people. Enjoyed the hammocks.

My experience at the farm was a journey of self-awareness and appreciation for nature. It is a rustic platform where you camp (tent or hammock), the tasks where simple and straight forward. Drake Bay is a small Pueblo (35 min by foot) and there you can find most things you might need. I would recommend the farm organic farm to those who really like the rainforest and wild experiences.

The farm is not far from the town but not easy to approach, especially in rainy weather. Volunteers do everything which is needed to run a farm. Sometimes it contains hard physical work, but it is not typical. None of locals at the site speaks English, therefore at least basic Spanish skill is highly recommended. Electricity are provided from some solar panels at the site therefore access to electricity (like wifi/internet or recharging your mobile) is strongly limited. Your experience will be highly depended on other volunteers at the site. Good team collaboration is a MUST here.

I had a nice experience at Roo the farm, elmer and wilbert were kind and caring. Getting to know the area and the village was incredible, the river was so much fun and the facilities were great too! The food of Elmer was a great local food :)

The farm was a great time! Living in the jungle is such a special experience. Be prepared for the jungle: The rivier can cut you off from the outside world when it rains, the wifi rarely works (so I used data) and there is only power during the day (solar). Then the good part: The tasks were hard and often physical but we only worked for 3-4h/day. The rest of the day we spent at the river, going to town (20min walk) or just chilling in the hammocks. The food Elmer cooked was amazing. After this stay you will revalue so many things, I recommend this farm!

We arrived at Drake Bay, and Met Emilio a Nice man. But we choose not to volunteer, becuase of personal reasons and the wet season. Its really important that you watch all the videos before you go, and if you dont speak spanish let someone translate whatever is Said in those videos:)

The Farm is a wonderful place to try and live completely in the jungle and learn a lot about conservation and local biodiversity. You can also observe a lot of exotic animals. Where you live is very cosy with some tents and hamacs, and you can find a lot of food in the land if you know where to search. Emilio and his whole family are very very good people and will treat you as family. During my 3 weeks stay, my spanish became very good ! I thank everyone at the farm with all my heart for the exiting, adventurous and awesome experience I had ! I'll try to come back !
