The family are truly enthusiastic to share their vision for their home, creating a place for people to come and experience Costa Rican life amongst its beautiful nature. I was well looked after during my stay, the house is lovely, and I had many days just to myself, planting flowers in the morning, swimming in the river when it got hot, relaxing to the rain in the afternoon and eating ingredients grown on the property. The small local community around the finca is so friendly, it's a perfect place if you're looking for a quiet escape in a magic part of the world.

Beautiful place where you really get to connect with nature. The house was spacious and lovely. There were rivers going through the farm that you could swim in, and fruits growing everywhere. The work was very interesting and fun to experience

This was my first worldpackers experience, and I wouldn't change a thing! This family is so welcoming and caring. They made sure I was especially comfortable, accomodations were perfect, food was amazing, and tasks were very manageable. They were patient with my extremely limited Spanish, and made my experience amazing. I cannot recommend the lodge enough!

It was really nice to stay with the family. They were really caring and fun! Their project was really nice and interesting. I'm happy that I was a part of it :) I wasn't the biggest fan if the location in the city, cause I was looking more for nature. But their property in the countryside was so, so cool! Loved it

Such a wonderful group of humans who truly embody the spirit of Worldpackers. I cannot recommend them enough. Paula is so caring , considerate and approachable, constantly checking in to make sure you're comfortable. Shirley and Alan are such kind-hearted, generous stars. Shirley is so inspiring (as a human, as a business woman, as a mother) and Alan is honestly one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet and a jaw-dropping cook. The accommodations are fantastic as well. I know I'll remember this for a very long time and I'm so grateful I applied here.

We loved this experience. We were living remotely in a province called Perez Zeledon in a beautiful house with the other volunteers. The house is surrounded by plantations with all kind of fruits (mostly bananas and coffee). We planted avocado trees, yuka and sugar cane. There is a little river running by the property and we really enjoyed taking a dip in the natural pools. Other tasks consisted of some handyman work like building some furniture for ourselves or a compost. The Ramirez family is extremely nice and welcoming and their vision is beautiful. Would highly recommend this stay!

The Ramirez family is absolutely amazing. As soon as we arrived at their house we immediately felt at home and welcome. They were very good at translating for us because we are learning Spanish. The entire family is so outgoing! The house is only about 15 meters from the house from the farm and both are beautiful, the work is very light and fun! The locals are amazing! It starts raining around 1PM everyday so get out there early! Around by 5 or 6. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to connect with green, beautiful nature. I plan on returning to this experience in the future

Overall amazing people and an amazing experience. All family members went above and beyond to be helpful and make us feel at home. They were very flexible with scheduling and willing to take us on last minute. They provided transportation to the farm from their house and made it a great transition over. When there, we were given easy to understand tasks and information about the surrounding town. The locals, the family, and the beautiful area helped to curate the best experience we could have hoped for. I look forward to coming back to volunteer for them again in the future. Highly recommend!!

My stay with the Ramirez family was really an amazing experience. They have a beautiful home with a warm and welcoming environment. I never felt like I was out of place and every family member tried their best to be helpful and considerate. The location is a great place to spend several weeks. The family care about explaining different aspects of Costa Rican culture which I really enjoyed. I would recommend this experience to Worldpackers who are willing to collaborate and contribute.
