Experience another way of life in the Southern Caribbean

La experiencia vivida con Jordi, Ana, Valentina y Rocke fue tal y como dice el enunciado de su perfil: "experimentar una forma de vida diferente en el caribe" de ese hermoso país. Pude compartir con el cacao, la cúrcuma, bananos, virivas, pipas de coco, etc. Jordi y Ana tienen una hermosa disposición a compartir su estilo de vida y todo lo que… read more habita en su finca. Transmiten el respeto por la naturaleza las 24hrs. Su pequeña Valentina es una niña con una energía muy linda, conversadora a la cual le encantan los paseos, pintar y comer el polen de las flores.
Tienen un espacio muy confortable para estar en calma y experimentar mucha Templanza durante el tiempo que se esté con ellos en su finca.
Me encantaría volver y de seguro nos volveremos a encontrar! Muchas gracias por todo. Felices viajes ahora y siempre.

Nos quedamos solo dos semanas pero con ganas de muchas más. La finca es hermosísima, muy tranquila y con frutos exquisitos.
Ana y Jordi son personas maravillosas y sus nietas muy muy tiernas. Son muy cálidos y solidarios, comparten su espacio y sus experiencias de vida con mucho amor.
El trabajo nunca es pesado, al contrario, todo es muy… read more disfrutable y siempre lleno de enseñanzas.
Estamos tremendamente agradecidos por haber podido vivir estos días de esta forma tan enriquecedora, fue mucho mejor de lo que nos imaginamos.

Me quedé en la finca por 1 mes. El lugar me dejó sin aliento. Gracias jordi y ana, haber creado un pequeño paraíso en la tierra e inspirar a otros a vivir una vida pacífica. Disfruté trabajando/viviendo en la finca. No podría pedir más...hay frutas en todas partes en la finca. Estoy agradecido por la oportunidad de vivir una vida simple y comí… read more alimentos muy saludables en la finca. Buen vibra y espero visitar a Jordi y Ana otra vez. Muchas gracias por todo!

Queridos Ana y Jordi.
Quiero decirles que mi tiempo en ALUNAJAVA ha sido inolvidable, gracias por recibirme y compartirme su hermoso lugar habitado por tan bellos guardianes. Les agradezco la experiencia de hacer mi primer Workaway.

Gracias Jordi & Ana por una experiencia genial!

The Alunajava finca was our first workaway experience (7 months ago now!) and it couldn't have been better. Ana and Jordi's house is amazing, as well as the volunteers' rooms which are all made of wood and equipped with a mosquito net. The finca is pretty big with beautiful tropical plants… read more everywhere including coconut, banana and moringa trees. The work is at times physically demanding, especially in the heat, but you learn a great deal and Jordi is super open and has a lot of knowledge to share! They are laid back and so some days we'd do a little less than 4 hours, others a little more, depending on the weather and the work. They were also kind enough to take us to the beach and the organic markets on Saturdays in Puerto Viejo.

Ana y Jordi gracias por todos, una experiencia muy tranquila en una lugar bonita. Buen conversaciones y tiempo con la naturaleza

A beautiful experience on a farm not far from Bribri and further but close to puerto viejo. The work varies from pulling weeds, machete work, planting seeds and sometimes a mellow cleaning day. A more remote chill… read more work away with plenty of time for reflection. Spent 3 weeks in this beautiful place. Close to epic waterfalls and the jungle. Come with food for your first week and ready to speak Spanish. They are kind people who are happy to help you when they can. They have a beautiful home and volenteer space and I had my own room for my entire stay. Work is as described and we worked from about 7-11 am

We stayed at the finca for a month and had an amazing time. The work was fun and varied, sometimes challenging and/or adventurous, sometimes very chill and/or precise. The afternoons were spent relaxing, running, philosophizing about life, reading, going for walks (to Bribri) or swimming in the river or the waterfall. The team of volunteers, at… read more one point, included four nationalities, which was fun. In the weekends, Cahuita and Puerto Viejo are great day outings.
Talking to Jordi was always fascinating. We learned a lot from him and his lifestyle, but most of all he’s a good host.
Some tips:
- Buy the organic mosquito repellent from the Saturday farmers market in Pto. Viejo.
- When you first get in, buy some groceries for the first few days and take a taxi from Bribri to the farm.
- Prepare to be without internet access most of your stay.
- Lock the kitchen.
- Come with an open mind.

We stayed with Jordi and Ana for about 2 weeks. We helped to build the kitchen for upcoming volunteers (yes you are very welcome;) ). We really enjoyed the nature around the farm, especially the waterfall close by and the birds,which are everywhere in any color. It is a really calming place where you have a lot of time to think. For people that… read more don't speak any Spanish it could be difficult to communicate with both of them, but they are willing to help you. They prefer to have their privacy after working hours, but are anyway nice people. who are really into healthy food and lifestyle and have many great tips.
