We had a great time on the finca. We only spent about 6 days there but the food was amazing and health. Lizbeth and Olbert also drove us up to rio Celeste for our day off. Would recommend if you're looking for a tranquil, Spanish immersive, and cultural experience. Thanks Lizbeth and olbert!

Had an amazing time! Lizbeth and her husband were very welcoming and kind. Liz is an excellent cook and her husband is really nice and friendly. The work load wasn't crazy probably cause they didn't have much for me to do but I still helped in any way I could. Overall I had a great peaceful time!

I had a great time at HdB, Lizbeth & Olber were so welcoming and we did a few activities to explore the area, Mt Tenorio, Rio Celeste & dance night in Bijajua(and I joined them at the Liberia market the day I arrived!). There were 3 volunteers already at the farm, so I was given the open air room off the laudry area. It was nice to be so close to nature and have the fresh air but I didn't have the privacy I was expecting since I had a sheer curtain between me and the common area(I moved into one of the other rooms once someone else left). Overall a great experience and I would love to go back

We really enjoyed our stay at the farm!!!!! We learned a lot about the finca and agriculture, both Lizbeth and Olber were very welcoming and kind, we immediately felt welcomed! The work is fair, the location is beautiful and the food is very good! In the afternoon you can walk to the nearby river or simply enjoy the view of the volcano from the terrace! On our day off, Olber took us to Parque Tenorio to see Río Celeste, a really great trip!
