My partner and I had a lovely 2 weeks with Jenny and Mabel. The jobs were engaging, sometimes challenging, but mostly quite fun. It was really great to be involved in their projects and get to interact with the amazing wildlife Costa Rica has to offer! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to do some volunteering; the food, to location, and the vibe were all incredible!!!

Jenny and Mabel are exceptional hosts. From the moment we arrived it felt like we'd been welcomed into their wonderful family by them and all their animals. We saw beautiful sloths and other animals. Our hosts were fun, open and extremely generous with their time, in the beautiful dishes they made and with their space. The jobs were always different and sometimes in line with your skills/ preference and a great opportunity to learn new skills. There were no issues that went unsolved or untreated. They gave us amazing local recommendations for exploration.

Jennifer and Mabel are such nice and generous people. They made me feel welcome and comfortable from the start and they connect with the volonteers. They offer you places to visit during the afternoons or the weekends that are so beautiful and fun. The work is diversified, so it doesn't get boring. 3h per day, 5 days a week, and they are flexible. Conclusion, I really loved being here and I 110% recommend to any woofers visiting Costa Rica !

I had a wonderful stay here and the hosts were super nice and helpful. This was my first world packers and they gave me a great experience. Would recommend this to anyone looking to spend time in nature and practice their Spanish in a laid back environment. The work was diffent most days but usually was something that was kinda fun.
