The Experience
We need help supporting the local sea turtle conservation project by conducting night patrols and releasing baby turtles from the hatchery. We're looking for volunteers with lots of energy who are willing to work at night and during the rainy season. Volunteers stay in a purpose-built station, work for 5 hours per day and can use any of the facilities at the property.

My time at the eco village was nothing short of spectacular. Rob, Rebe, Felipe, and everyone else on the team are masters of their crafts, and so clearly care deeply about the project. We never had a dull day, and were able to feel like we made a meaningful impact during our stay. Best of all the food was AMAZING, everyday we had 3 delicious hand cooked meals that were genuinely jaw dropping. Thank you guys for all your hard-work and dedication, I can't wait to be back one day!

My experience at the eco village was like no other!!! I experienced tranquility, inspiration like never before, delicious food, learned about my impact on the environment and was utterly amazed at the hospitality the hosts had to offer! I'll let the pictures and descriptions speak for themselves, and to anyone still reading: go out of your comfort zone and do hard things! Go on this trip! You will learn more about yourself and nature in your short time at Finca compared to anywhere else!

I had an amazing time at the eco village! Everyone was so welcoming and knowledgeable! The property is beautiful and in an amazing location. The work they have you doing truly makes you feel fulfilled and like you are making a difference. This was my first World Packers experience and I could not recommend it enough!

There are only good things to say about the eco village. Rob and Rebe are such wonderful people and hire so many other wonderful people for the staff. They are so welcoming and I always felt warmth and inclusivity from everyone who worked there. Facilities are really nice and clean, and the food was absolutely out of this world delicious. I couldn't recommend it more, especially to someone solo traveling for the first time. Getting to acquaint yourself with a solo traveling by being in a group environment to kick off your trip is the perfect way to do it. Much love to Rob, Rebe, and staff🤍
