I had a wonderful time at the project! Alexa and Naldo were wonderful host and people . They are very kind and caring people. The land they live on is absolutely gorgeous and the sounds of the rainforest each night are beyond peaceful. There is plenty to do near by and there are lots of people flowing in and out. If you like nature this is a great place to volunteer at. There are three large waterfalls with a hiking path to them on the project. The work can be intense for some and you may work on some steep inclines. It was very manageable and macheting the jungle was quite fun.

My time at the project was amazing. Alexa and Naldo are some of the nicest people, and were so welcoming. It is also a great voluteer opportunity to meet so many new people, as different people stay almost everynight through AirBnB, and I was even offered to go to the beach with some of the people that stayed on a day off. The waterfalls are perfect, the nature is great, and I couldnt recommend volunteering here any more! I hope to come back some day.

Meeting Alexa and Naldo was a wonderful experience! I enjoyed my stay with the utmost excitement. I had the pleasure of working on my own time, connected with many people. Both local and international travelers. I was comfortable and well fed the ENTIRE time. They are some of the most charismatic people I have ever met! I couldn't recommend a more grounded and loving experience.

The volunteer time with Alexa and Naldo was amazing! From the very beginning they made me feel welcome. They are both very kind and inspiring people. Their finca is a really special place that reconnects you with nature. There is a river, creeks, a waterfall and swimming holes to enjoy. The work passes quickly and they let the volunteers manage their own schedules which was really cool! During my time I mostly helped with the gardening and got to learn about planting vegetables. 100% recommend volunteering with them! Thank you for a wonderful week with many new learnings and so much fun!
