Impact change in our Eco project between Sea, Jungle and River

Quick for the work related part: It wasn't easy, the night patrols over the beach were harder than expected and there's tons of mosquitos, of course;) If you're relatively fit and don't mind staying up pretty late for those shifts, it'll be absolutely manageable. Even though I had to leave earlier than planned (my birthday was coming up and I prefered calling my family and being closer to civilisation for that day;) ) I absolutely loved staying with Patricia! The food she made three times a day was amazing, the room was pretty spacious and she was also just a kind soul!

Patricia was a wonderful host, the meals were delicious. I spent a lot of my time reading and playing cards, Patricia's family was very nice and welcoming, her brother took me fishing a couple of times. The turtle project is with another camp, most of which speak English which was nice to also connect with people there. A truly rewarding experience to do turtle conservation. Overall a very relaxing stay and I would absolutely go back!

Patricia is an amazing women through and through. Prior to arrival she was very helpful and prompt with communication. As soon as I arrived I felt loved and welcomed, she was very patient with my inability to speak Spanish and was happy to help teach me. The experience comes with its challenges but is all around so so worth it. Despite not speaking the same language we always found something to laugh about. The 9 days I spent there will always be held so close to my heart. Thank you Patricia, I hope to visit again some day!!

The farm is right between the river the reserve and the ocean. In the morning you can for example see monkeys in the trees if you go 50 meters from the place you stay. It's a beautiful place to connect with nature, to get detox of your phone (cause you'll only have internet at the beach) and to discover. Patricia is a very nice host and her food also is veery delicious & alway healthy. I loved the time and all the green around there and it's a good opportunity to calm down and relax. Just be aware that the main part of the property is also a party place which is directly in front of your room.

Hello Patricia ! Gracias para todo. Patricia is the sweetest person, I had a lovely time staying here. If what you're looking for is a beautiful environment and party/relaxing, this is a good place. The work is more clearing up paths, cleaning up the place than environmental farm work, but the place and people are super fun! :)

We had a great time at Patricia's place! The experience comes with some challenges: be prepared for basic accommodation/bathroom/limited internet access, read the descriptions! Patrica only speaks Spanish, but there are always ways to understand each other. Also, the place is only accessible by boat (20$/ about 30min). The place is located in beautiful, remote nature. A good place to get out of your comfort zone. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and being surrounded by nature. Patricia's brother showed us so many animals and helped to make the experience very special!

She always have people coming over to where we stay at party can leave whenever they wanna leave. no water on the salt water is not for everybody

I loved my stay here, truly refreshing and relaxing. The work was short and you have most of the day off, and on the weekends there are usually a small party where they taught me local dance moves. You will most likely not have service because some of the SIM cards don't work, so before you go I would bring cards, books, games and download lots of songs and podcasts. It's a different experience for everyone and if you are looking for private, seclusion right on the beach this is the place for you. The only way off the island is by boat and it takes about 20 minutes to get there.

Patri is a great host. Together with her family they made me feel very welcome. I learned a lot about the local culture and lifestyle. I recommend the reserve if what you are looking for is tranquility and getting away from everything. I recommend bringing protection for mosquitoes and other insects. I also recommend bringing allergy medicine. I didn't know I was allergic to mosquito bites. Don't forget sunscreen. Beside this, the place and the experience were incredible.
