Our volunteers contribute their creative energy and talent at our busy jungle hostel. We need help with customer service, English instruction, yoga instruction, cooking, cleaning and photography, in addition to help with special projects! We are looking for outgoing and positive team players, ready to join our hostel family in the jungle. Please read on to know more about the hostel.
MORE ABOUT US...
We are located in the Panamanian highlands (on the main road between both oceans) on more than 30 acres of rain forest (cloud forest) and re-purposed organic coffee farm. We are also the deepest private reserve within the La Fortuna nature park. We are a youthful backpackers hostel at heart, but due to our unique location within the reserve we have also hosted scientists, nature enthusiasts, birders, etc. There was even a new species of salamander discovered here and named after us! :)
Minimum commitment length we are looking for from volunteers is 25 days. The length of stay should be quite defined so we can coordinate new volunteers. It is very important to us to know your exit date. Please be respectful about your time frame committment.
We look forward to sharing the experience of living in the jungle with you.

I met so many amazing people, could enjoy all the cozy Hammocks and experience beautiful sunsets.
It's a great place to just enjoy nature.
you have 2 days off where you can go and explore Panama for all it's worth and soo much free time to explore the area either before or after work. 10/10 🫶🏼
Really helpful and kind. They were always willing to help and add their creativity to the tasks. Anyone that is lucky enough to host Liam and Freddie will be fortunate they have them. Thanks again you guys, more than welcome to come back if you are ever in the neighborhood!

The hostel is gorgeously located, they are not lying about the miles and miles of trails and overall hiking that you can do in the area, and will mostly have it all for yourself (and other guests if you're keen !).
The staff was super friendly, straightforward, the tasks easy to do (tidying up, helping with… read more
I have reflected so much on my time here... I can honestly say it was the best 2 months of my life... just a special, special place.
I would certainly come back and spend more time here and I couldn't recommend it enough! MUST DO if you are in Panama.

🛖The hostel itself:🛖
It lies on a mountain in the middle of the jungle, so surrounded by beautiful nature. It has a lot of different spots where you can spend your free time like in one of the hammock, in the common areas, the platform, and many more. So there will definitely be a place for you,… read more

Always delivered great products on time. Great job at understanding the vision of what I was looking for. Would be a pleasure to work with them again. I enjoyed the positive energy and healthy vibes as well. They always contributed more than was asked for
We miss you! You were such a wonderful help here.
CJ always brought her A game to work, and her positive vibes just made it such an awesome workplace. Any one or establishment that is thinking of hosting CJ will be lucky and fortunate to have her.

The views are incredible. Dinner is at sunset so everyone can enjoy the scenery together. Beautiful rainbows would appear after it rained. A white faced capuchin monkey (that was amusingly angry and cute) would visit. The feeders by the main eating area attract lovely purple and tiny green… read more

We do not normally accept volunteers under the age of 23 and Jordan was one of the few exceptions we have made.
He communicated very clearly about his needs and expectations from the beginning of our correspondence, making it very easy to work with him.

We really appreciate your work here and hope you will have some beautiful other workaway-experiences.

The work is straight forward, and part of your job is to socialise and hang out with the guests and you get a lot of free time before or after your shifts or on your days off.
There is a lot to do especially if you… read more
