This trip was so life giving!! the hosts were absolutely amazing, costa rica is so beautiful, and the farm is such a restorative environment. every time we sat down for a meal we shared all about our cultures, lives, and heard/told too many stories to count. we shared endless belly laughs throughout the week. the community, the place, and the experiences, along with all the things we learned were definitely one for the books. i totally recommend the farm for your next trip!!!

What an amazing week! Our hosts were AMAZING, and so kind. The work was extremely manageable and fun. Taking care of the animals was exciting, and hanging out with the sweet dog Molly was definitely one of my highlights of the week! The views are beautiful and nothing beats that waterfall hike we did! Highly highly recommend! Just make sure to bring your bug spray because the mosquitos will get you 😂 I can't wait to come back! 💗

As soon as we arrived at the farm we were welcomed with open arms and felt instantly at home. Shirley and Yeilin are the kindest, loveliest people you will ever meet! The food was incredible, the work was fun and varied, and the whole experience was very chilled. We learnt a lot from these very knowledgeable women, and were also able to improve our Spanish through meaningful conversations, helped by their patience. Would 1000% recommend to anyone, we were so sad to leave!

Incredible people. Kind, welcoming, patient. They truly model sustainability in their ways of being, and they are so excited to learn from and share with visiting volunteers. They are strong women who taught me so many lessons not only about sustainable farming (animal care, reforestation, responsible consumption, etc) but about culture, self journeys, and the world. Highly recommended! It was my first Worldpackers experience, and I would have loved to stay with them longer <3 (had a next travel plan)

Overall very lovely experience. The farm was a beautiful and relaxing natural space, the food provided was healthy and delicious, and the work was reasonable. I had a great time conversing and I think my Spanish improved greatly in just one week. Would definitely volunteer here again.
