Finca Ganadito: Help us create plant-based meals for groups

United States

I attended a group trip here at the eco village and had a great time with all of the incredible women I met during my time here. That being said, Rob and Rebe were really sweet but slightly passive aggressive towards the end of our stay, not mentioning to our host about end of trip activities and making sly comments in spanish that girls in our group understood and communicated to the rest of us. Additionally, during one of the turtle night patrols (the reason this trip was hosted) the group was led in an unprofessional manner by a woman not at finca and was joined by outside groups.

This was definitely a trip to remember! I met the most amazing group of girls and i did learn a lot about sustainability and turtle conservation from the hosts. Turtle patrol was split into 2 groups and my group was lucky to see some and our host was the leader for that patrol and took it very serious which I appreciated, can't say the same for the 2nd group which I heard their leaders did not take it seriously. Food was 9/10 and there were some passive comments made by the hosts towards other girls in the group that made it uncomfortable towards the end but overall i enjoyed it.

I joined a Worldpackers trip with Finca and was disappointed. The hosts often spoke in ways that made me uncomfortable—for example, offering store trips then shaming me when I asked to go. The turtle patrols, the main reason I signed up, were poorly run. Although groups were split for smaller numbers, mine was later joined by five extra people, many distracted on their phones, which reduced our chances of spotting turtles. The highlight was Bonnie, who kept spirits high and brought our group together. Without her and the other girls, the trip would have felt like a total loss.

Wow! What an amazing experience the eco village is—I couldn't recommend it more. Rebe and Rob are the loveliest people, making me feel like family and so at home. The food was incredible, and I learned so much cooking alongside Rebe. The wildlife and nature here are absolutely breathtaking, and with Rob's knowledge, there's so much to discover and appreciate. Thank you for giving me the best possible start to my travelling journey—I'll definitely be back! 🧡

I love love loved my time at the eco village! Rob and Rebe were so welcoming and so passionate about what they do. Waking up to Toucans and seeing the monkeys right on the treeline. Truly an amazing experience. Pura vida

The eco village was the best place for my first volunteer trip experience. Rob and Rebe were so welcoming, inclusive, friendly and respectful. They made us all feel like family from the moment we met them. Rob is so knowledgeable on sustainability, the area, the culture, and so many other things. Rebe is also very knowledgeable on the food she cooks, and is SO good at what she cooks! The overall experience was enlightening as someone who isn't involved with science or biology. It opened my eyes up to what the world could be if we took better care. I would def go back!

This was truly a once and a lifetime experience I recommend for everyone! Rebe and Rob are two of the kindest people I have ever met, with welcoming hugs and teachings. Their eco village is also GORGEOUS with stunning views and a short walk to the beach. I learned so much about sustainability and sea turtle conservation, with the chance to even hold baby sea turtles! If you want a truly amazing experience, volunteer here :)

I can't put into words how special this experience is. First of all, Rob and Rene are fantastic hosts! They went above and beyond to make me feel safe and welcome. The meals were made with such care and love. I felt like I was visiting family. The facilities were amazing! Getting to sleep surrounded by nature was incredibly relaxing and just what my soul needed. The learning aspect of the trip really rounded out the unique experience. Getting to learn sustainability and give back to the environment and have a purpose for travel allowed me to grow as a person. I'm definitely returning!

My experience at the eco village couldn't have been better. Rebe and Rob, the hosts, make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The beach is just a 10-minute walk with incredible views of nature and stunning sunsets. The food is super healthy and delicious, and the group I was with was so much fun—people I hope to meet up with again around the world. Sleeping and waking up in nature made me rethink what I want for my future. Helping with sea turtle conservation is something I'll never forget, really! I recommend this experience to everyone, and I really hope to go back one day!
