Description
We like to live in harmony with nature and are dedicated to yogic and eastern practices as well as curanderismo and healing with the plants.
After years of travelling the world together we fell in love with the breathtaking beauty of Osa peninsula and settled in this area. We built our wellness lodge in a small gold mining town, Dos Brazos de Rio Tigre 14 km from Puerto Jimenez right next to the world-renowned Corcovado National Park on the Osa Peninsula, one of the most important and biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Therefore we ask our dear volunteers to use natural and biodegradable products.
Besides receiving guests from all of the world we are working towards being self-sufficient. There are many fruit trees, pineapple field as well as a large green house in the land.
***PLEASE BRING NATURAL BIODEGRADABLE PRODUCTS: SOAP, SHAMPOO, TOOTHPASTE, BUG SPRAY ETC. EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO THE EARTH AND WE'D LIKE TO KEEP THE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AWAY FROM THE LAND!***

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Volunteers will have a first hand experience of the rainforest and wildlife of the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado Park, one of the most biodiverse places on earth.
They will learn to live in harmony with nature, learn some permaculture and gardening skills.
Volunteers will meet travellers from all over the world and connect and socialise with the guests.
They will also have a great space to practice yoga, chi gong and meditation.
Help
We look for volunteers who like to spend time in nature and be in touch with mother earth. Greeting the guests and preparing their rooms. There will be general daily maintenance and cleaning of the guesthouse rooms, yoga shala and compost toilets. It would be a bonus if the person has permaculture knowledge and can help out in the garden. There will be some small building projects at times as well.

Accommodation
Each volunteer will have their own bed in an open-air 6 bed mixed dormitory. All beds have good mosquito nets.
There are racks and wardrobes for the dorm guests and volunteers to share. There's also a very safe locker in the locker room for people's belongings.
There are 4 shared compost toilets, 3 shared triskele designed bamboo showers (cold water), 1 shared bath/shower (cold water),shared fully equipped kitchen, dining and living area, sitting area in the back of the guest house, yogashala and numerous hammocks to chill. The river access is in our backyard and volunteers can cool off in the beautiful Rio Tigre on their breaks.
We provide our volunteers a welcome food package tea/coffee/eggs/rice and beans and continue to provide the basics through out their stay (garlic, onion, rice and beans). If the guests like to buy more diverse food they can get supplies from the small stores in Dos brazos or bigger super markets in Puerto Jimenez.
If we're going to town the volunteers can hitch a ride with us, if not there's a local bus and private taxis they can use to go around.
