Program Details

At Finca Curubanda, we offer food and accommodation in exchange for 6 days of work per week. As a volunteer, you will be taking pictures during our hikes to La Leona Waterfall or tubing in Rio Colorado River. We sometimes also need help with reception work, social media and marketing - as well as serving fresh fruits to visitors - so we are able to adapt the work schedule to your skills! Each tour to La Leona has a duration of approximately 2 hours, and includes hiking, swimming and some easy climbing. If you have any other ways you would like to contribute to our project in any way, let us know!

About us as hosts: Michael and I (Laurine) run the Worldpackers program for Finca Curubanda together - he is on-site in Costa Rica, and I help coordinate from Europe (though I join at the finca from time to time too!).

Activities & Shift

Our working day usually begins at 8, and finishes when the last tour has been completed - which is usually around 3. Depending on how long you stay with us, your work may vary (for example during shorter stays you might work in the reception). In your first week with us, we will give you the opportunity to follow along and learn a bit about how things work at the finca - which you will be able to apply in the following weeks.

Rules

Please consider that we are many companies working at La Leona Waterfall, so we kindly ask you not to share and private details about our company to anyone!
