Atividades & Turnos

We ask that Volenteers help from 8:30-12:30 (4hrs) 5 days a week. In the Afternoons and on weekend there are lots of free time activities such as the folllowing.
Our site is in the countryside very near two tourist beach towns, Montezuma and Santa Teresa. Participants can surf, paddle board, SUP, boogie, and hike at the beach. These two towns offer yoga, dance, and a plethora of mental and physical well-being type classes. We also have a car for rent on a weekly or monthly basis. We have a food forest onsite where you can get edible and medicinal plants and fruits. We have a large event dome where we have a basketball hoop and large space for yoga, dancing or roller skating. We have a natural pool and lounge areas to read and relax. We are situated 800 meters from the main road and can be easily walked in 8 to 10 minutes to catch a bus or hitchhike to town for groceries or the beach.

Regras

We are looking for responsible people. If your plans have changed and you want to cancel please inform us at least a week before since you're taking a space of someone else. NO SMOKING in all the property whatsoever. No drunk or lazy personalities, will be kicked out of the property at the same day. Additionally we can not accommodate pets.

We have had volunteers who work their 4 daily hours and then take the bus to surf every day and then others who complain about walking the 8 minutes so we like to be honest about what you should expect and what you can handle. This is a beautiful and rustic area with many modern amenities in the neighboring towns but also very under-developed. This place is not for the feint of heart and we would suggest having an adventurous spirit and experience living in similar types of places
