My time at the camping has been incredible. Fernando would regularly take me and the other volunteers on tours around the area, allowing us to explore parts of the country you wouldnt normally see as a tourist while also meeting other travellers! The accommodation was good and Linneth cooks some great food. I would definitely love to come back to the camping if I ever return to Costa Rica!

Está experiencia ha sido muy gratificante para mí, es un tipo de voluntariado que soñé y que nunca pensé que podría encontrar. Es un voluntariado de aventuras, mil aventuras cada día, que te hará recorrer muchos lugares preciosos, mágicos y diferentes del the camping del país de Costa Rica. Trekking, canyoning, Tarzan swing y mucho más es lo que encontrarás aquí. Sin duda ha sido un voluntariado de 10! Soy una chica aventurera y no tenía ninguna duda de que me iba a encantar la experiencia. Fernando y Linneth son maravillosos y te sumerges en su vida costarricense. Gracias por todo!!
