Un lugar paradisíaco, realmente hermoso y abundante. Las tareas si bien son físicas, son para nada difíciles, te ayuda a mantenerte en forma mientras ayudas en el jardín. Te recomiendo este lugar si lo que deseas es introspección y conexión con la naturaleza, estarás en un bosque maravilloso, alejado de personas y lejos de la playa, por tanto si lo que deseas es contacto con cultura local y el mar, quizás no sea la mejor opción. Marco es muy amigable y dispuesto a ayudar. Es una bonita experiencia.

Gracias Francisca por tus palabras y tu ayuda. Solo para complementar: aunque estamos en el bosque, la playa está cerca, a 10 min en vehículo o 30 min caminando y 5 min en bus. Muchos voluntarios caminan o alquilan moto para explorar. También convivimos con una familia tica, así que hay intercambio cultural para quienes lo deseen. Me alegra que hayas disfrutado tu tiempo aquí. 🌿

Pour mon deuxième mois à the project, nous avons continué à travailler la terre dans l'esprit de la permaculture. Nous avons passé des moments incroyables au bord de la magnifique rivière turquoise qui traverse le terrain. Nous avons aussi exploré les alentours — c'était tout simplement magique ! Je recommande vivement cette expérience à toute personne qui aime la nature, les voyages et les rencontres humaines. Je suis tellement heureuse d'avoir découvert cet endroit unique ! 🌿

Je suis partie seule à la découverte du Costa Rica, et je dois avouer qu'en tant que femme, cela peut être un peu intimidant. Mais j'ai eu la chance incroyable de tomber sur le plus bel endroit du pays : the project. 🌿 Ce lieu est un véritable petit paradis, avec ses sources d'eau turquoise et sa nature luxuriante. Marko, l'hôte, cultive sur place des fruits et légumes bio en permaculture tout au long de l'année. C'est une personne exceptionnelle, passionnée, qui t'emmène explorer la vraie vie costaricienne, découvrir des bassins secrets et observer la faune locale. Le meilleure de voyage🌞

C’était une super expérience, une vraie re connexion avec la nature, un emplacement magnifique et très ressourçant, le cadre sublime, la rivière en bas de la cabinas, tout était paisible.
Merci à Marco !

Super endroit en pleine nature au bord de la rivière au pied d'une montagne, il y fait bon vivre, apprendre et travailler a son rythme, les gens sont accueillants et bienveillant, il y a surtout des francophones et espagnol, idéal pour apprendre la langue, une communauté en construction à fort potentiel ! Le confort reste rustique mais en amélioration, il y a l'essentiel, électricité, douche, lit confortable, internet, une cuisine qui fait le taf, et des activités nature appréciable, à quelques minutes de la mer, je recommande l'expérience !🤩
