Volunteering at Sandra and Angel's farm was truly a beautiful and unforgettable experience. Sandra is such an inspiring woman—deeply spiritual, wise, and always open to sharing her knowledge and stories. She makes you feel grounded and connected, and her traditional cooking is simply incredible. Every meal felt like a gift! Angel is the ultimate host and the life of the party. He has a huge heart, welcomes everyone with open arms, and makes you feel like part of the family from day one. Whether it's working on the farm, sharing a meal, or dancing into the night …… thank you so much guys 🙏🏼🤍

I had the pleasure of staying 10 weeks at this farm and what an experience it has been! This farm is not only a place where you learn useful, practical skills like building, gardening, cleaning and problem solving, but more importantly is a place with a lot of wisdom about us humans and our place in nature and the universe. Sandra and Angel have so much knowledge to share, and you as a volunteer can also share your story! No matter your language background, all communication is valued here. But, this is also a great place if you want to learn/improve your spanish! ¡Gracias por todo!

I had a truly incredible experience at the lodge. Angel and Sandra went above and beyond to make my first Worldpackers experience so great. Sandra cooks delicious food that gives you an authentic taste of Costa Rica and is always happy to share her wisdom. Angel is great at making the days memorable and fun with things like karaoke nights. On the days of they would take us on excursions to nearby waterfalls and rivers, which are beautiful. I had a lot of fun hanging out with the goats everyday, they're adorable. Muchos Gracias Angel y Sandra.

I had a very nice stay of two weeks on the Farm. Sandra and Angel are very kind, welcoming and I had a lot of fun with them and the other volunteers. They speak Spanish so you can practice speaking very good. The other volunteers are from all over the world so you learn a lot about the Costa Rican culture and lifestyle but as well others. The work was fun, not too much, the goats are so cute. In your free time you are able to walk to the river and take a nice swim. The food is very good, local, varied and very delicious! I enjoyed my time at the lodge and would recommend it to everybody!
