I had a great time at the project with Manrique and the crew. I met some great people and by staying with Manrique I was able to get more of a local's experience. He is a fantastic surf instructor and a positive and helpful person. The work was very interesting and we were always doing a bunch of activities like going out dancing. The finca is a little bit out of the way but Manrique great about giving people lifts and there are things tuk tuks to get around. I really enjoyed my stay

I had an amazing time here, I only stayed for one week but would have loved to stay longer. The living areas are basic but you have everything you need. Manrique has a range of different tasks and projects, for example, I helped with gardening and building a wall made out of natural materials. Manrique is a really great person and welcomes you into his surfing and salsa lifestyle, and he also arranged a cooking and Spanish lesson for us too. I can't wait to come back one day!

I stayed at the project for about a month and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Manrique is a great host and makes you feel very welcomed. He invited me and the other guests to his band practices, parties, and salsa nights. I was also very happy with the housing arrangement. I had my own room for most of my stay and the kitchen had everything I needed. I also took a few days to travel to La Fortuna in the middle of my stay and Manrique helped me plan the trip. I had a wonderful time at the project and could not recommend it enough.
