What a place... U dont really need the electricity. Food is vegeterian but u have a day or two off to meet your meat needs. Staff is down to earth and u can get everything sorted without needless issues. The animal experience tops anything u have ever done - if u can survive tge jungle then try it. U arent a guest - u are part of the animal pack. Mosquitoes, humidity, bees flying in your ears, rain, slippery slopes, mud, rashes, bites ... its normal here. 4 weeks went like a breeze

Michael stayed with us for about a month and was a real pleasure to host. He is kind, respectful, and very hardworking. He showed great commitment, adapted quickly to jungle life, and always helped with a positive attitude.
Juanito and the team agree that Michael was excellent , proactive, and supportive. We truly appreciate his contribution and would gladly recommend him to future hosts. Michael is always welcome back.

Had an amazing time volunteering here. I loved spending times with all the animals, especially the baby monkeys. The team are very passionate about supporting the monkeys and other animals. The living conditions are as you would expect in the jungle without access to electricity but I think this adds to the experience! I think there could be better briefing and clearer communication on how to interact with the monkeys because after all they are wild animals. Sometimes there are different instructions given by each member of the team which can be confusing. Over all would recommend :)

Even though it was definitely not easy at all times (mainly due to many mosquitoes and being in the jungle), i very much enjoyed my time at the project. the other people were great and every single one of them was amazingly friendly and helpful, also the staff was lovely. obviously the monkeys were amazing to be around, and it was an amazing experience learning so much about them and their behaviour in the wild. i was very lucky that i was able to work with so many species, this was definitely something that made my stay even more interesting! food of course was amazing as well!

Thank you, Lara, for sharing your experience.
Indeed, during the summer season there are many mosquitoes and all kinds of insects — this is part of life in the jungle and something every volunteer should be prepared for.
We are glad that despite the natural challenges of the environment, you enjoyed your time with the animals and with our team.
We truly appreciate your dedication and the positive energy you brought to La Cruz Verde.

I have absolutely no words to describe my stay at the project. The original plan was to spend 2 weeks there, but I am now at 4 weeks (and counting!), and many of my fellow volunteers have done the same. The animals, the people, and the tech-free environment have made this place into a true home away from home. The work is hard and the conditions are very rustic, but if you love animals and you are keen to get of the grid and meet some amazing people, I would 1000% recommend this experience to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much to everyone who has made my experience unforgettable! <3

Thank you so much, Sophie, for your beautiful words.
It was wonderful to see how your two-week plan naturally became a month with us. Your dedication, kindness, and love for the animals made a real difference here.
We are very happy that La Cruz Verde became a true home away from home for you.
You will always be welcome back — our doors are open whenever you wish to return.

This experience was life changing, we had so much fun thanks to the people as well as the amazing monkeys and animals. We learnt so much about the environment as well as ourselves, we feel very privileged to have been able to take part in this opportunity. It is very tough and took us well outside of our comfort zone , the work, the living conditions and being off grid but overall it was completely worth it. Thank you the project!
