Emprende Verde: Purposeful Volunteering in Nature

Germany

5

This was my first volunteer experience and I loved it. Angel and Sandra are very kind and awesome hosts, who were very interested on my thoughts as well. The work was most of the time very easy but at some points it can be hard as well. I was able to improve my Spanish because they only speaking in spanish to you, which helps a lot. I would recommend this for everyone who loves the nature because the “city” is very far away. It was an awesome experience with many new impressions. ;)

This was my partner and I's first Worldpackers experience and we loved it! Although we speak very little Spanish we got to know Sandra and Aja very well over the two weeks we stayed with them. (And had lots of practice learning Spanish!) We were helping them build a new house and our projects varied from day to day. From painting shelves, digging holes, helping them move wood, and washing dishes, it was rewarding work where we felt like we were making an impact. The heat and humidity was an adjustment but we were given plenty of breaks and rest. On average we worked for about 3 hours a day.

I had troubles with my flights, which forced me to stay home in the end and never arrive there. But the communication and respect was definitly amazing. They were very kind and welcoming me for a next time, I hope I can make it there soon! :)

Sandra and Ángel are very welcoming and caring people who always have ideas for you and will always find something to make you laugh too😂the place is absolutely beautiful for a complete change of scenery and working there is an experience I will never forget. I can't wait to go back already!!! ✨

This was my first experience working as a volunteer. I have a amazing experience. Sandra and angel are so lovely people. They take me every where they go and show me a lot of things and introduce me to a lot of nice people. I will definitely go there every time I go to Costa Rica

The lodge Green was my first volunteer and I couldn't be happier for the whole experience. Angelo and Sandra treated me like a son from day one and I felt very welcome. I can only recommend the lodge to all the worldpackers

The rainforest is lush and quiet and full of wildlife. Do this experience if you want to stay in one place, get to know Angel and Sandra, their love, and their friends, and lean into their life. Things not on profile: - listed host (daughter) not part of experience - every homecooked meal is eaten altogether - the couple knows little English; suggest intermediate Spanish - the main task is building a new house, not the listed tasks; but you have flexibility on where you help - the volunteer dorm is makeshift; bugs everywhere that will bite you in the night (no mosquito nets)

Angél and Sandra were excellent hosts especially considering we spoke little to no Spanish! We were unfortunate to not meet the daughter however the parents were both lovely hosts for the three of us. The accommodation and hospitality is perfect for experiencing volunteering in a lovely part of the Costa Rican jungle. Angél was even nice enough to take us zip-lining and to a nearby waterfall :)
