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

A good experience They need help much to do and are very appreciative. Good people hard working. I wish them well on their farm 💫🇨🇷🦜

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 :)

WE TRULY LOVED OUR EXPERIENCE AT the lodge...💓 Me and my husband we volunteered at the lodge for 3 weeks and 3 days... Each moment of our volunteering expérience was really cool ! The family of Emrende the lodge (Sandra, Angel and Dariela) is very nice who has à great project of organic farming on sustainability and natural living which is pretty interesting.We worked on permaculture, construction, painting, etc. We learned à lot from Angel's expériences on construction and Sandra's on cooking and spanish language. We definitely recommend volunteering for the lodge!Muchos gracias!

De todas las experiencias positivas que he tenido en Costa Rica , mi tiempo en el alojamiento ha sido sin duda lo mejor, Ángel y Sandra son dos seres de luz que además te hacen sentir en casa desde el momento de la llegada he aprendido muchísimo de ellos. Fomentan un ambiente de colaboración maravilloso también he tenido momentos increíbles con los otros voluntarios con Soga, Ronald y Jannik. Espero volver en algún momento el alojamiento se ha ganado un hueco en mi corazón ❤️❤️

Mi primera experiencia como voluntaria y no podría haber sido mejor! Angel y Sandra son personas increíbles, llenas de sabiduría y con una energía muy especial y bonita, imposible no quererlos! Siempre con una sonrisa en la boca y dispuestos a ayudar en todo lo necesario. Muy buen sitio para conectar con la naturaleza y aprender sobre las costumbres del lugar. Han sido dos semanas llenas de risas, aprendizajes y sobretodo de comidas riquísimas preparadas con mucho amor!!! La paz y tranquilidad que transmiten es única. Muchas gracias, sois los mejores!!
