  Description

  We are a couple who offer a variety of activities, including aquatic therapy, massage, education, and lodging.
  
  We are looking for dynamic, creative, flexible, and independent people who love being in nature, are patient, and enjoy caring for pets.
  
  Our activities take place in various parts of the country, so there are times when we need help with our pets.
  We want to welcome people who share our empathy for animals and nature and who cultivate healthy habits. We do not smoke, nor is smoking permitted on the property, and we do not consume alcohol or any type of substance that produces altered states of consciousness.
  
  We have two dogs, a cat, and occasional visitors from the forest such as sloths, monkeys, iguanas, and multicolored birds.
  
  We live in a multicultural community with people from more than 50 different nationalities within a few kilometers.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The continuous movement is the greatest lesson of the area, nothing is predictable, neither the climate, nor the processes that in other places are very fixed and defined. It is therefore an experience to recognize, confront and, if it is chosen, to change schemes, beliefs and customs.
  In the area we live together with people of different nationalities, cultures and customs. That in itself makes it interesting to live in the southern Caribbean of Costa Rica. The contact with the nature of both the mountain and the sea are an opportunity for those who want to connect with it.

  En la zona convivimos personas de diversas nacionalidades, culturas y costumbres. Eso por si hace interesante el vivir en el caribe sur de Costa Rica. El contacto con la naturaleza tanto de la montaña como del mar son un oportunidad para quien quiera conectarse con ella.
