  Beschreibung

  Experience local life in the mountains of Costa Rica! Our historic hostel is a casual, friendly space in the very center of Santa Elena, Monteverde. We receive thousands of travelers each year-- from solo travelers, to backpacking couples, to families on long holidays with their kids. Our diverse clientele values a chill, cozy, central accommodation to have as home base while they explore the region's cloud forests and experience the adventurous activities of Monteverde.
  
  Our small, close-knit team is looking for some volunteers to join us and help out around the hostel, keep the common areas tidy, give tour advice/help with bookings, and organize activities with the guests. Looking for someone with positive energy, respect for our space & team, and excitement for life! Talking with guests is a huge part of the job, so you need to be friendly, motivated, inspired and interested in learning. Volunteers live on-site and receive free delicious breakfast daily.
  
  "Why Visit Monteverde, Costa Rica? You'll feel like you're on top of the world, but really, you've reached the central point of the nation's continental divide. In Monteverde, Costa Rica, the sun-kissed faces of beach dwelling locals are replaced by the warm smiles of farmers, artists, naturalists, and outdoor enthusiasts—particularly in the small yet pleasant town of Santa Elena." [monteverdeinfo.com]
  
  Monteverde is one of Costa Rica's top 5 destinations, and one of the 2 main inland destinations in the country! If you're interested in experiencing an authentic Costa Rican town away from the beach, Monteverde is a beautiful place to slow down, relax, explore nature, and immerse yourself.
  
  Our humble, 30-room hostel is the perfect home-base to explore the area. We offer our guests friendly service, cozy common areas, a large green central garden, delicious typical Costa Rican breakfast, and unbiased local tour information and booking assistance.
  
  Located in the very center of town, we are right next to a variety of local restaurants, cafes, supermarkets and shops. The Cloud Forest Reserves are a short bus ride away, and every tour company passes right by our front door transporting to their various activities in the surrounding area. Some of the main activities the area is known for are: ziplining, coffee farm tours, canopy hanging bridges, waterfall hikes, nature hikes, night walks (for spotting wildlife), bungee jumping, horseback riding, and more.

  Was noch ...

  Santa Elena is a walkable, slow-paced local town. If you're looking for thriving nightlife, this is not the location for you. However, regular buses and shuttles are available to bring you to explore other parts of the area.
  
  Enjoy magnificent sunsets over the mountains, visit nearby cafes to try local coffee and delicious pastries, hike through nature trails, or even head to a nearby pueblo for a traditional Costa Rican rodeo!
  
  On your days off, you can easily explore other destinations in Costa Rica! We are just 3 hours from La Fortuna, Tamarindo, and San Jose, and 4 hours from Manuel Antonio. If you'd like to use your days off for a getaway to these or other destinations, we can recommend the best places to go and how to get there.
