Program Details


You will be living in a cabin, surrounded by jungle, with a shared kitchen and shared bathroom, a small pool for you to use, if the pool house is not rented. If we have more then one volunteer and no space, you will share in a four bed dorm ( Nov -April )

You will also be able ,whenever possible, to go on tours with our guide, Channy , help him with translation and enjoy!

The volunteers must be very honest and open minded , mature and completely independent, responsible but fun and be able to cope on her/his own..
You will have to provide and cook your own food, but very often we share our food, especially if there are dinners to be made.You will get a basic food package : rice, bean, sugar, coffee or tea, oil every week.

You have to love nature, jungle, rivers and time on your own as there is not much else here.There are great hikes around here, lots of beautiful swimming holes in the rivers, nature at its best! Best birdwatching ever....! Watching the monkeys in the morning ...a there is a new basketball court and football field at the school and we have a small gym here.

It is a great opportunity to spend some time in the Peninsula de Osa, enjoying nature while working a little bit.
We are 20 min from the beach and I go once a week to Puerto Jimenez, I can take you with me.There is a collective bus going twice daily to Puerto Jimenez.

Now, if this is tempting you, or if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
