This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was so much more than I expected! I loved working with the local kids and helping with recycling projects, both were super meaningful and hands on. Beate and Federico were so welcoming! The vibe was laid back but purposeful 😊 I loved the variety in each day and meeting people from all over the world. The food was delicious, and they were amazing about accommodating my gluten allergy! 🙏🏼 I came for the experience, but left with lifelong friends and a full heart ♥️ Highly recommend if you're coming to Costa Rica! PURA VIDA 🌞🌴🌊

Beate and Federico are very nice hosts who take care of their project and the volunteers. The place is nice and right in the jungle and you are always welcome to bring in your own ideas :) They are very flexible and always helping out if something is needed. The food is great and Leo does its best to create tasty meals every evening. When I was there, there were 3 other lovely Worldpackers Volunteers, and it was great to connect with them :) Just one thing to notice for further volunteers, is that in the volunteer house, there are also many German volunteers at the age of around 18.

This is a lovely experience! This is my second time doing a Worldpackers exchange with Planet Conservation - I loved it that much. The team is truly like a family and welcomes you with open arms. They have built a wonderful community here amongst the staff and the guests who stay at the hostel. I was friends with people from both groups, made easy by their community events, daily meals together and the projects. Highly recommend esp if youre looking to learn more about sustainability, clean living and hollistic practices.

After this past month volunteering at Planet Conservation, I'm struggling to put into words this life changing experience. It wasn't just about finding the lodge buddies; I found a supportive family who encouraged me to personally grow. Living in a sustainable and caring community like we do at Casa Caraibe is really unique; something I wish anyone to experience once! On top of that, I got the chance to be involved on the Recycling Project promoting the use of a circular economy where I got the chance to learn a lot and have a concrete positive impact. Thank you to the PV team for welcoming me!

My experience here was good. The spaces were comfortable, breakfast and dinner were really good, and the projects that Planet Conservation offer were great, you really feel like you're having a direct impact on the local environment and community. However in my opinion there should be more structure around the daily hours and tasks. It's nice to know when you're supposed to be “on” and “off” :)

Una experiencia única! Aprendí mucho sobre el medioambiente, como cuidarlo, preservarlo y tomar medidas de prevención. Fede y Beate nos hicieron sentir muy cómodos y bienvenidos, y tomaron todas nuestras sugerencias en cuenta. Admiro su compromiso con el planeta, el ámbito social asi como con la estadía de los voluntarios. Recomendadisimo!

Nuestra experiencia fue hermosa. Beate y Federico son dos personas muy cálidas que desde el primer día nos hicieron sentir muy cómodos. Nos gusto mucho el intercambio porque teníamos una habitación privada para pareja, la comida era abundante y las tareas para hacer eran diversas, todos los días hacíamos algo diferente para ayudar al medioambiente. Estamos súper agradecidos con el proyecto y todas las personas que son parte :)

La experiencia fue inmejorable. Fede y Beate son unas grandísimas personas, nos hicieron sentir parte de su familia, disfrutamos cada momento y vimos que los proyectos en los que trabajamos tenían una repercusión real. Nos llevamos grandes momentos, enseñanzas de vida y por supuesto grandes amigos, Vicky, Dani y Rei, fueron un apoyo fundamental, comenzaron la experiencia siendo nuestros managers y terminaron siendo muy buenos amigos con los que disfrutar cada momento, ellos son increíbles. El resto del equipo también es único y tenemos mucho que agradecerles Santos, Marlene, Yomari… 😊
