I spent 20 days at the farm, a place of spectacular richness. Cooking with Chef Elmer González introduced me to new Costa Rican flavors, while every banana tree pruning, river crossing, and jungle trail revealed more about Drake Bay. Conversations with the host and guests reinforced the importance of clear and assertive communication. the farm EcoFarm is a place to fully immerse yourself in local and daily needs, strengthen empathy, and be proactive in the mutual contribution that makes everything happen. I leave knowing each of us carries a planted seed in our hearts. Pura Vida! 🌱

Elmer doesn't know a lot of English and the tasks are not clearly explained for travelers without a large Spanish vocabulary. It was really great to connect with him and see how he lives on the farm. The night tours and creatures there are magnificent. I highly recommend going as a tourist and checking it out. The jungle is a beautiful place to be.

The experience of the farm was great! We lived in jungle and worked with animals like feeding chickens and pig. Be ready to cross the river, walk up the stairs, and deal with insects and mosquitoes. Other than that, you will gain a once-in-a life time experience! Thank you Elmer and Anna for the host and help, you guys are amazing ! Don't forget to try the food of Elmer, it's espectacular !

Give the jungle the opportunity and it will open its arms wide and welcome you with a warm hug and guaranteed it will keep you warm while you're immersed in it! Bring good vibes y buena onda and the González family will bring it back tenfold. A special place and it was an honor to look after it and experience it for the time I did. Muchas gracias La Jungla y La González familia.
