3 weeks at the lodge as a volunteer was awesome and so much fun. The work at reception can get a little overwhelming on the first days but it'll be lighter once the volunteer gets to know the daily tasks. So many perks, such as tours, walks, hikes, the food is amazing and they offer laundry service. Schedules are respected and Maria and Jose are great people and are always willing to assist. The connection with nature was beautiful. It was def a great experience! the lodge is a beautiful place.

I spent 3 weeks at the lodge as a yoga instructor. Overall it was an amazing experience and I developed my teaching skills a lot during my time there. I taught 2 classes per day (6 days a week) in exchange for 3 meals (I really liked the food) and accommodation, which I think is a very good volunteer arrangement. The newly built cabaña where volunteers stay is really nice with a lovely view, but there is no electricity. Communication from management could be improved and I felt like some more introduction (showing volunteers around on arrival etc.) would have made me feel more welcome.

The lodge is an amazing place to stay, landscape wise but also staff wise. We had the chance to truly mangle with the other volunteers and some members of the staff that really helped us with our Spanish. The reception work was fantastic, you never get bored and you get to meet all of the guests. It was also very pleasant to be able to take part in the tour offered by the finca. However I think some amelioration could be done regarding the housing. There is no real volunteer dorm apart from a cabana in construction with made a bit hard to sleep through all of our stay.

I absolutely loved my experience at the lodge. I taught yoga twice a day (one class at sunrise, one at sunset) and really enjoyed the work! As for the property, it's absolutely wonderful, so peaceful and beautiful. The people were so lovely, I felt so welcomed and I really enjoyed interacting with everyone. Paso del Mango is truly a special place and I feel very lucky to have spent some time there. Thank you everyone at the lodge ❤️

I loved the place, work was reasonable and I truly connected with the nature! Also the food was amazing! Absolutely worth it and a great experience! My only heads up is that the employees are not very welcoming and even a bit rude some of them. But the owner is amazing and everything else as well!
