    Descripción

    We are a 100-acre tropical agri-tourism farm located in the foothills of the jungle northeast of Quepos with 5 horses, chickens, 3 dogs, and a cat. Most of the land is secondary and primary forest which we try to protect or improve (as regards the secondary forest). We are taking great care of our animals and try to involve our local community to understand and see how we treat our animals.

    We are also working on an extended trail system, planting grass, trees, flowers etc. We already have 5km of trails through the jungle. Maintenance is hard work and we usually have local labor to perform that task.

    Our horses can be ridden on the property or also outside on gravel roads, small trails, to rivers and beautiful viewpoints. The pool can be used by our volunteers as well, provided it is not used by our guests at the same time.

    At the moment we are focusing on renting three houses to guests, providing them with meals and offering horseback-riding tours. We have a truly beautiful place and are highly rated by our customers. We strive for excellence of customer service and expect the same level of commitment from our volunteers. In return you get to enjoy a beautiful setting in a remote place, but close enough to enjoy a trip to the beach at times.

    We are in a remote location in the jungle, but only 25minutes by car from town or beautiful beaches. However, there is no public transport close to our farm. Next bus stop is about 7km away. Closest supermarket is about 4km away. Taxis are available on call.

    If timing works out we provide pick-up in Quepos. Many volunteers take advantage of guests going to town or to the beaches.

    Internet is available, but limited in terms of download volume. Usually sufficient for normal means of communication, checking webpages etc.
