The experience

This is a family's eco farm with seasonal reforestation, daily agricultural projects and regular farming duties, in a beautiful location away from crowds and big towns. We love to do everything as green as we can and learn from others about Eco and sustainable living.
If you’re looking to experience a non-touristic destination in Costa Rica that offers plenty of wildlife, nature and unique experiences, head South to a town named Sabalito.
