  Description

  Truly, it’s a paradise with fresh spring water, away from the sounds of the city, just nature and animals—no mosquitoes.
  
  We are Expats in Costa Rica and have here a Eco Project. Our Property is 2,5 hectares big with river and an amazing view of San Isidro de General, Perez Zeledon (app. 20 min. away) In San Isidro you can find all what you need (Banks, restaurants, supermarkets, farmer market).
  We are located near Cerro Chirripo, the highest mountain in Costa Rica. Our property is in the mountains with a nice climate and a lot of nature. Perfect for people who wants to live quiet and with the nature and also for people who loves to hike.
  Our place is app. 45 min from the beaches of Dominical and Uvita (there are daily buses available).

  Help

  We need help in the following categories:
  
  - To maintain our coffee trees
  - To care for our banana plants
  - Germinating seeds
  - Assisting in building a greenhouse
  - Planting herbs and vegetables
  
  We are building dome houses. To construct the domes, we need people who can use tools for construction or are willing to learn. We also need volunteers who want to learn or already have experience in building cabins. Each dome and cabin has a garden design. Additionally, we are building a trail to our natural pool that we want to construct. We have a river on the property. Our property measures 2.5 hectares and offers a mountain view as well as a view of the city of Pérez zeledon, San Isidro. We are at an altitude of 1,300 meters and have the best weather in Costa Rica - not too hot, not too cold, just perfect. Air conditioning is unnecessary; it’s a paradise. What we need from our volunteers is to have an open mind and a desire to learn to build and to do things. If you have construction ideas, you can bring them and implement them here to help us make furniture, tables, chairs, and learn to use all kinds of conventional tools. We want to work in a group with advice and collaboration
