My experience at the farm was much like the high rated reviews. You can really dive deep into nature and be connected with Mother Earth very easily. The international friends I made at this farm are unforgettable and I truly believe I will be connected with them the rest of my life. Tasks were simple: raking, chicken coop care, watering plants, taking care of the pig, sweeping, chopping wood. Hardest task was hiking half a mile in the jungle and carrying large pieces of wood multiple times per day. Food isn't included, you have to pay for meals, but it's the best food I had in Costa Rica!

The other reviews are very accurate. I'd just like to add that they don't give you any food besides bananas and 2 eggs a day, and they don't give you any tours either (which are supposed to be included). I didn't like the vibe. A lot of people arrived and left right away, because the place wasn't welcoming at all. I only liked that you're very in touch with nature. I was looking for a wellness kind of vibe, so I only truly connected with Neyer (he's great). Wouldn't recommend. There are many other awesome options to connect with nature in the area!

I would recommend this place if you enjoy a lot being in nature and can actually appreciate it's savageness with everything that comes along with it. You cannot expect the same comfort you would have in a hotel but a very peaceful and exotic place- so peaceful that it felt like in exchange your own thoughts become much more present and louder since they are not overrun by other distractive noises and actions. But I would highly recommend to bring plactic bags to protect your important things from growing mold ( in rainy season) and long socks to not get rashes from the rainboots and a torch!

Really loved the experience of living in the jungle close to Corcovado. Elmer's cooking will be the best food I'll have in Costa Rica for sure, and Neier is such a gem as he really elevated the experience of living in a jungle amongst Costa Rican wildlife. Do be aware! This experience is not for everyone. We arrived at the end of rainy season, so everything was humid, our clothes but also linen. ALSO. they give you boots to cross the river to get to the farm, so best bring long socks (and bandaids) to protect your legs and feet from chafing. It might be challenging for some, but so worth it!!

La granja es un sitio increíble. Está en medio de la jungla. Puedes ver ranas, tucanes, serpientes, arañas y muchos animales más. Elmer es una persona fantástica, siempre está pendiente de las necesidades de los voluntarios y cocina una comida riquísima. También había Neier, un hombre experto en naturaleza, del cual aprendí muchas cosas. Mi experiencia ha sido 10/10.

I was travelling across Costa Rica until I wanted to settle down for a few weeks. I found Rio Aguivitas messaged them and within a day they got back to me saying arrive whenever suits me. After staying for 3 weeks I was able to get involved in so much including: machete's clearance, making sugar Caine juices, tubing down the river, planting pineapples, exploring the jungle, birdwatching, animal spotting, chicken work, having fun with other volunteers and enjoying Elmeirs top tier food✅ Will be visiting again and would recommend

I really enjoyed my time at the farm. If you don't speak Spanish I advise you to learn a bit beforehand, so you are able to talk to the locals (they are so friendly). The work was what I expected, gardening and taking care of the chickens. You can find true friendship in the other volunteers, since you do everything together from working to exploring the nature. You have to pay for the food but it was worth it, Elmer is a fantastic cook! Clothes will get dirty, things won't dry easily during the rainy season. But the simple living conditions make the place special and a whole adventure.🌿

The farm was an amazing experience. I was there in the rainy season, so the tasks where less hard. I had an incredible time connecting with nature in many different ways. Elmers food is incredible! Even though meat is his speciality, the vegetarian food was delicious. It is a very good option to pay him for the food instead of going to town every day, specially because the river gets pretty high when it rains. I totally recommend you to go there, the place is magical! Also in the next months there will be many things to do, because they have planned renovations and new constructions. 🦎

Mi experiencia en la granja ha sido fantástica a pesar de haber estado en estación de lluvias, volveré seguro en verano. Elmer y Emilio son muy buenos anfitriones. Ha sido toda una experiencia estar en la jungla, los baños en el río, los animales salvajes, las comidas al fuego de leña que prepara Elmer muy sabrosas y a buen precio. Recomiendo esta experiencia a todo viajero de verdad.
