La experiencia en Río la granja para mí fue increíble, fui enormemente feliz con la vida allí! El lugar es muy especial, en plena jungla, rodeado de naturaleza y tanto Elmer como el resto de voluntarios lo hicieron sentir un cálido hogar del que no me quería ir y al que espero regresar! Elmer fue muy flexible y atento con nosotros, es un gran cocinero y su proyecto es impresionante. Voy a extrañar mucho el día a día allí, el despertar escuchando a la naturaleza, ir a la cocina y compartir con la gente, refrescarnos en el río, el trabajo, los animales, ir al pueblo, caminar por las playas.

It was a unique experience, the place is gorgeous. Living in the jungle can be challenging but in the end you come out more than satisfied. Most of the work was sweeping up leaves, but also changing the water for the chickens, collecting eggs, feeding the pig, fetching water... Elmer is very helpful, just ask. I think it's important to know some things before arriving: if you want to cook with gas you have to pay 5 dollars, otherwise with fire it's free. Also, if you want to use wifi you have to pay 1 dollar per day. Bananas are free, also some eggs depending on availability.

I had an incredible two weeks here. Elmer and Co made me feel incredibly welcome and like part of the family. The farm is really beautiful right on the edge of jungle and on your days off you can go to the town and beaches which are great. The work can be a little arduous at time but nothing too difficult and you may be woken up early by the chickens. It was overall a great experience and I wish I could have stayed a little longer. I can't wait to go back some time in the future.

El lugar es muy bonito, lleno de naturaleza. Las actividades que realizamos no fueron pesadas y fueron las horas que se acordaron. Me gustó mucho estar ahí, aprendí mucho de cocina con Elmer. La mayoría de los huéspedes y las personas que estaban al mismo tiempo que nosotras fueron muy agradables e hicieron de nuestra estancia más linda. Las playas que están cerca de la granja están súper bellas, súper recomendadas para los días libres, además hay muchos tours que se pueden hacer. Todo estuvo muy bien a excepción de que se nos desaparecieron algunas cosas.

I had a good time! I got to meet some of the locals and try restaurants and foods. I learned how to make tostons and learned Spanish words for some herbs and foods. The beach is a mile away from the hostel. It rained a ton but it was so healing to sleep on the platform while it rained, read, and write when work was over. Feeding the chickens was very fun too. The dogs aren't mean.

I was there in October during the off-season. I spent almost the whole two weeks alone as a volunteer. You are very connected to the chickens, dogs and nature. You live in the middle of the jungle and can enjoy all the benefits. I had enough time to explore my own things. Please don't forget to bring your own food. As the journey is strenuous, you'll be glad if you don't have to walk 40 minutes to the supermarket every day.

The host didn't communicate with me how remote this place is. I wasn't informed that it's in deep jungle and for some people, that's great, but the jungle isn't for everyone. For example, a grocery store is a 40-min walk from the farm and you have to cross a river and go up steep steps to get to the top. You need to buy your own groceries at this place. I think this project is a beautiful idea that I would love to see flourish but communication is a key thing this place needs to work on.

This Worldpackers experience was really an unfortunate letdown. I was really excited to help on an ecofarm but unfortunately due to the bullying I faced from the other volunteers as well as unfair division of labour I had to leave. The host has clear favourites and allows them to do easy tasks, while the others, in this case me and my boyfriend, were expected to do all of the manual labour. Additionally, one of the other volunteers called herself a vet when she's had no formal training and harmed the wildlife.

This place is really beautiful and is completely immersed in nature. The work is sometimes physically hard but mostly OK. Bring some shoes you can walk with in water as most of the walk to the waterfall is in the river. When you get there, you'll be asked to pay for gas and internet, which I think should have been written in the description on worldpackers. Regarding tasks and working, it was a bit disorganised, but all in all, the experience was pretty good! Thank you for everything!
