I had an amazing time at the host. They made me feel at home really easily. I loved how much they loved sharing their culture and nature. We did many things together, like going on trips for example, but they're also really chill and give you the time and space to be alone when you need it. The work is really relaxing and gratifying, and you have a lot of freedom within the work. Most importantly, they are all extremely friendly and welcoming. Would 100% recommend!

I had a great time at my stay in the host. Everyone is very open and nice and they make sure to make you feel at home and like part of the family. The work with the butterflies is relaxing and you always have a say in what tasks you can and want to do. Because I like to paint my tasks included painting a lot of signs and other stuff. We also did other activities like visiting a volcano or viewpoints which was so fun. In conclusion, I feel like it was such an amazing experience and I will miss the people I have met there and became friends with.

My time at the host was one of the best experiences I have ever had. This place and the wonderful local family that runs it have changed my life. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to immerse myself in the culture, practice my Spanish, and get in touch with nature in a new way. Being able to care for the butterflies at every stage of their life taught me that change takes time and every step of the process is important. the host brought me not only amazing memories, but also people who will hold a place in my heart forever. Pura Vida! 🦋🩷🌱

I learned so much about Tico culture and butterflies.

I had an amazing experience at the host! Alberto and his family were incredibly welcoming and committed to making sure I had a valuable experience. I loved learning about all of the butterflies, caterpillars, and plants, and well as learning about local wildlife. If you are volunteering during the rainy season make sure you come prepared with an umbrella and rain jacket as well as shoes that can get dirty. I am also very appreciative that they catered to my vegan dietary restriction and all of the food was delicious! Thank you so much to everyone at the host!
