Beschreibung
My name is Joshua and live in Dos Brazos de Rio Tigre in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, 12 km from Puerto Jimenez the gateway to Corcovado National Park where the jungle meets the ocean. The property is comprised of 2.5 acres (1 hectare) with cabins and gardens along with a community area along the river (Rio Tigre).
Dos Brazos borders the world renowned Corcovado NP, the reason I came to Costa Rica years ago. There is not an official park entrance to Corcovado NP in Dos Brazos, as it is an old gold mining town off the beaten path located in the rainforest. There is no real store, restaurant or place to hang out except the school soccer field or in nature. There is satellite internet for all types of communication and a small van/buseta that goes to Puerto Jimenez twice a day for your personal needs.
Regarding volunteering: A single person, couple, or friends traveling together would be the ideal situation. Staying by yourself can get a little boring and solitary after a couple weeks. Couples/friends have been well suited for our isolated little town and volunteers who require more stimulation and interaction unfortunately do not have the desired experience. 1 month minimum stay.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We are located on the border of one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, Corcovado National Park, in the Osa peninsula of Costa Rica. IF you like nature and being off the beating path you will be more than pleasantly surprised by unplugging from the hustle and bustle from city life and enjoying the simpler life.

The bus from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez is 7/8 hours, then taxi/collectivo from Puerto Jimenez to Dos Brazos de Rio Tigre is a 20 minute drive. I am often in Puerto Jimenez and available to pick you up.
Please purchase all personal food items and supplies you will need prior to arriving. Drinking water is in Dos Brazos is very clean and safe to drink.
I highly advise you to research the Osa peninsula, Puerto Jimenez, Corcovado NP, and specifically our town Dos Brazos de Rio Tigre. -
