Finca Ganadito: Help us protect the sea turtles in Drake Bay

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the eco village. Rob and Rebe are excellent hosts. Rob is enthusiastic about the work he does on the farm and is also able to translate his knowledge into relatable chunks of information that is easy to understand. He also gave a great talk about turtle conservation. I didn't expect to enjoy my time there as much as I did. I learned about soil, composting, and sustainable farming. The techniques I learned can be used in my own small garden. I hope I will able to return and volunteer with the turtles.

This was the best trip! I couldn't even imagine a better way to experience Costa Rica. Rob and Rebe were incredible hosts, friendly, knowledgeable, and I can't wait to see the finca grow! All of the food was SO GOOD, better than any restaurant you'd find in Costa Rica :) Rob's knowledge of the land, birds, sea turtles, and everything else is inspiring. I felt right at home and loved getting to experience this beautiful place. I'll be back!

I had such a good time this week at the eco village. I especially enjoyed the trips to Caño island, floating river tour and Corcovado National Park. Rebe's meals were so good and full of flavor and were filling. I loved how much we learned from Rob about everything we did from building planter beds from bamboo, making soap and coconut milk, a biodiversity survey and learning about the turtles. Waking up every morning to birds chirping and occasionally howler monkeys was incredible. I would highly recommend anyone that is interested goes on this trip.

I had a wonderful time at the finca! Rob and Rebe were so welcoming with Rebe making delicious vegetarian food and Rob teaching us all about sea turtles and the local nature. The finca is a great place to unwind and be in nature while learning about sustainability!

This was my second time back to the eco village, and I'm already thinking about going back again! The farm is such a special place, and I love it so much. The hosts, Rob and Rebe, are so attentive to making sure everyone has everything they need. Throughout the week, we learned how to make soap, coconut milk, mushrooms, loofas, tofu, and so much more. I really cannot recommend this trip enough! Costa Rica is so beautiful, and it's great to experience it from an eco-tourism perspective & know that you're helping Costa Rica stay beautiful!

Spending time at the eco village was such a special and grounding experience. It's a place rooted in intention, simplicity, and connection -and that really stayed with me. I learned so much about sea turtles and their nesting process. The food - wow. Every organic, vegetarian meal was nourishing and prepared with so much love. I felt it in my body and my spirit. And sharing meals and daily life with fellow travelers created such a real sense of community — deep conversations, laughter, quiet moments, and everything in between.
