Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travelers will experience a cultural exchange that offers a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Costa Rica while engaging in meaningful activities. By participating in various projects such as trail clearing, natural building, plant identification, gardening, and teaching yoga or meditation, travelers will gain valuable hands-on experience in sustainable practices and regenerative living while meeting local people.
Help
Some specific areas where we seek help include:
Trail Building:
Assist in creating and maintaining nature trails within our property, allowing visitors to explore the beauty of the surroundings while preserving the ecosystem.
Natural Building:
Contribute to sustainable construction projects using local materials, such as cob, adobe brick, or bamboo, to expand our eco-friendly infrastructure.
Plant Identification and Gardening:
Help identify and catalog the diverse plant species on our property while participating in organic gardening and permaculture activities.
Yoga and Meditation Instruction:
Share your expertise by leading yoga or meditation sessions for fellow volunteers and guests, promoting mindfulness and well-being.
Teaching and Workshops:
If you have specialized knowledge in areas like sustainable practices, regenerative agriculture, or environmental conservation, you can organize workshops or educational sessions to inspire and educate others.
While engaging in these projects, volunteers will have the opportunity to learn practical skills, deepen their understanding of regenerative practices, and foster a sense of community and connection with nature. We encourage volunteers to bring their unique perspectives, ideas, and creativity to enhance the experience for everyone involved.
No prior experience is required, but a willingness to learn, collaborate, and contribute positively is highly valued!

We have a toilet and are in the process of setting up a composting toilet and jungle shower.
Meals:
We are delighted to provide you with delicious and nourishing meals during your volunteer experience. Our meals will focus on using fresh, locally sourced plant-based ingredients, including fruits and vegetables grown on our property. We can accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences, so please let us know in advance. There are also restaurants nearby where you can explore local flavors and experiences.
What else ...
Known for its clean water, beautiful views, and delicious coffee, this area of Costa Rica’s Central Valley is a gem that is vibrant with wildlife, has a small-town feel, and plenty of outdoor activities and history to explore. It is also home to the Represa de Cachi, a lake & electric dam that powers over 200,000 homes.
We have 12.3 acres of mountain jungle outside of Cachi, Costa Rica. We're a 1.5hrs drive from San Jose’s International Airport (SJO) and reachable by public bus.
Nearby you can find waterfalls, natural hot springs, white water rafting, rock climbing, and trekking in several ecological areas including Tapanti National Park and Los Quetzales National Park. You can adventure to see Irazu volcano’s crater lake or simply enjoy a view of both the Irazu and Turrialba volcanos from the Shire!
