I spent 4 weeks at the eco village and every day was truly amazing. Rob & Rebe created a home very far away from home, treating all us volunteers as their family. Rob knows so much about turtle conservation and sustainability, it was amazing to learn from him. Rebe is the most amazing chef with the best energy to be around. The location is a definetly remote, but it was the perfect place to connect with nature and do meaningful work for the earth. Been gone only 2 days and already missing it!

My time at the eco village was beyond anything I could have hoped for. Each day was a new experience that brought it's own challenges & adventures. Being in the jungle surrounded by so many different animals, plants, natural landscapes & locals created the safest environment to learn, relax & truly feel at home. From the moment I arrived I was welcomed not only by Rob and Rebe but also by all the volunteers there. You'll learn about sustainable living & regenerative farming, get hands on experience with the sea turtle conservation project & if you can, take Rob's Spanish class & Rebe's yoga!

Volunteering at the eco village was a really enrichible and beautiful opportunity to learn about permaculture, sustainability and to contribute in the sea turtle conservation. The farm is in the rainforest next to the beach, it's just paradise! I truly recommend going to the beach (5min walk) to see the sunset everyday!! Oh and you'll love food in here, it is delicious! Overall, this is a volunteering focused on taking care of our planet, and I think that everybody should be more aware about this matter.

Rebe and Rob are amazing people, passionate about what they do and ready to share all their knowledge and love to the world. For me working at the kitchen With Rebe was AMAZING, I had a lot of fun, learned a lot about vegan kitchen and got to eat delicious food. I would say that if you have the opportunity to be at the eco village, do not miss it. You will have a new beautiful family, walk cute dogs to the beach, learn lots, and all of these surrounded by a paradise . Thank you both so much for making me feel like home and being as awesome as you are. You'll always have a place in my 🩷

It was my first time volunteering and I couldnt have asked for a better experience. Rob and Rebe are so sweet, they really take care of you and try to find the perfect tasks for you to help. Rebe is an amazing cook and she always had really yummy glutenfree options for me as well. I learned so much about nature, animals, sustainable living, eco farming and also about myself. You are in the middle of the nature and I loved it. I am forever grateful for the time I had there and I already miss it so much. Gracias! :)

I had an amazing time at the eco village!! The food was amazing, Rob and Rebe were welcoming, and the work was fun and rewarding. We worked on the greenhouse and the turtle conservatory, and learned so much about sea turtles and sustainability. The property is amazing - the primary rainforest in your backyard and the beach is 10 min away. I really did find a home away from home, and was able to meet amazing people and make close friends. It is pretty remote, so don't get scared on your initial drive there- it's worth it. I already miss my time there and I can't recommend it enough! Pura vida :)

Rob and Rebe are very welcoming and you truly feel like family. The location is great, 10 minutes away from the beach backing onto a primary forest - there is always lots of wildlife to see on the Finca itself. The work is very varied and reasonable, you will learn a lot about turtles, regenerative farming, spanish, healthier options... the list could go on. Overall, I had a really lovely time and left feeling very much at peace <3 Pura Vida, Rob and Rebe

The eco village is a home away from home where you learn so much on the daily and get to spend time with wonderful people! I got to learn about sustainable farming, sea turtles and Spanish - everything I wanted to learn about. The accommodation is lovely (just don't forget mosquito repellent) and Rob and Rebe are great hosts.

I had a unique experience at the eco village as I helped watch over the place while Rebe and Rob were on a well-deserved vacation. Even though the month was a lot of work, I enjoyed spoiling their dogs, discovering new recipes, and fulfilling their important commitments to the sea turtle conservation project! This remote farm is ~40 min. walking to the nearest town, so be prepared to disconnect from the world and immerse yourself in the jungle and wildlife of Costa Rica! I was honored to have Rebe and Rob trust me with their home and perros! I'll always cherish my first WP experience here!

My time at the eco village was a unique experience because our hosts went on vacation, so I had the privilege of looking after the farm and their dogs and continuing with sea turtle conservation duties. It was a lot of work, but it was rewarding work. If you plan on coming here know that you will have a lot of responsibilities and will be expected to complete tasks even on your days off. I fell in love with the place I called home for a month and a half and Rob and Rebe are absolutely amazing people. This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I couldn't be happier with my decision.
