I had an amazing time at the project! Manrique is so nice, the work is okay and not that hard and everyday he proposed different activities after work. We met some amazing people and had a lot of fun!

Manrique is an excellent host and this was an incredible experience. The work was engaging and not too difficult, whilst he made a great effort to teach you about the tasks and nature. We went to beach every day and he organised an activity for most nights from salsa dancing to jamming with his friends by the beach. All in all, well worth the experience!

Our stay was amazing! The project is super cool and the tasks are very chill and fun! The host, Manrique, made us feel at home right away. He took us surfing 🏄 which I appreciated very much! We also went to other social activities and had a wonderful pizza night at home. Our stay could not be better and I recommend this everyone! Thank you so much Manri, hope to see you in the future!

I stayed in the project for one week and I loved it<3 If you like to get you hands dirty and learn by doing this is your place… I learned a lot about premaculture and sustainability;))The place is nice (don't expect luxury, it's in the middle of the nature so there are insects ) and Manrique is a super nice host! Normally we used to work in the mornings and we did some activities like going to the beach at the afternoons:)

As my first volunteer place, I absolutely loved it! The host and everyone I meet had an amazing vibe and they were super welcoming! After a delicious included breakfast, we worked as a team on a variety of neat projects to help improve the property and build sustainably! Definitely bring clothes you can sweat and get dirty in:). The afternoon was relaxed with the option to paint, sleep and chill. Most evenings we went to the beach with the option to try surfing! Some highlights for me were free salsa dancing nights and watching the sunset.

I would love to volunteer at the project again! I wish I had stayed longer! The property is very nice and Manrique was such a great host! He shared lots of knowledge on the bio construction work we were doing and Costa Rica in general. He also did many activities with us like organizing a pizza night, taking us to surf at the beach, taking us to a local salsa night and more. Would highly recommended volunteering at the project!

Manrique was a phenomenal host! He is extremely accommodating, takes you to local events and get togethers and provides traditional breakfast, he truly immerses you in the culture. As for the work he doesn't draw it out just to reach hours and he helps you understand the specific jobs you are doing, how to do them and what their purposes are. He's very charismatic and cultured person I could not recommend this project enough.

I really enjoyed the time with Manrique. He's a welcoming host who helps you whenever you have a question. His place is sorrounded only with nature and you'll never have a stressfully day. We can go surfing with him, where he gives us a free lesson to get in touch with the sport and also it's possible to join a free dance lesson at the Selina hostel. I would love to come back, to stay here another time. I can really recommend this place

This was a truly amazing experience! Manrique was the most welcoming host and I had a lot of fun. He took us to many local events including drum circles, jam sessions, and salsa classes. It was very interesting to learn about bio construction and using natural materials to create an additional room onto his house. Mixing the clay and putting it on the wall was also really fun. Overall the experience was amazing and I will definitely be back ;)

It was a very good experience ! Marnique is a very kind and pleasant person who welcomed us into his home, surrounded by nature. We participated in the construction of walls with natural materials and which is very interesting to encourage ecology. We also did some activities and surfed. I recommend, thank you for everything !
