    English / Español

    We are a joint project of friends, family and good vibes. Fixed in the place we are 4 people. a couple with a baby and one more buddy All employees are partners and part of the project.

    The team is made up of 3 people.
    Julio: in charge of agriculture, construction of planters, cultivation boxes, etc.
    Karla: Management and skateboard teacher
    Juan Cruz: Construction and maintenance of the place.
    But we are basically free to do everything and we all like garden, skate and construction
    We have a lot near the beach in Marbella, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Where there is a good level of surfing surrounded by nature in a jungle area. We are finishing a cabin and want to follow up with a skate bowl/ramps to bring sports to the community.

    We are wood builders. We just wanna share this place and also with volunteers work together in projects or just keeping some order with the plants and everything around. We practice life in contact with nature and permaculture improves every day. We are starting with orchards, pots, cuttings, trees and everything we can add to the land.

    **activities are a lot kinds, brooming leaves, transplants, construction, sharing with baby, or a lot of ways to add value. Two or three hours per day sound good to us but we can talk always for different options.

    **We can only offer you stay at my place either In hammock or tent, we have share kitchen, dry bathroom and rustic shower.

    **The food is organized with large purchases so that it is more convenient for all of us.
    Each one pays their part of the communal meal if they want to participate in it. Also you can do yourself; The store is very close.

    Goood vibes we keep in touch (:

    —————————————————————————————————
    Es un proyecto en conjunto de amigos, familia y buena onda. Fijos en el lugar somos 4 personas. una pareja con un hijo pequeño y un pibe.
    Todos los asalariados son socios y parte del proyecto.
    El equipo se conforma por 3 personas.
    Julio: encargado del agro, construcción de jardineras, cajones de cultivo, etc
    Karla: Gestión y profesora de skate
    Juan Cruz: Construcción y mantenimiento del lugar.

    Contamos con un lote cerca de la playa en marbella, guanacaste, costa rica. Donde se da buen nivel de surf rodeado de naturaleza en una zona junglosa.
    Estamos terminando una cabaña de 2 pisos de madera y queremos seguir con un bowl/ramps de skate para traer deporte a la comunidad.

    Somos constructores en madera. Nos gust a compartir este espacio y queremos trabajar en conjunto con los voluntarios en proyectos o sólo manteniendo un poco de orden aquí.
    Practicamos la vida en contacto con la naturaleza y cada día mejora la permacultura. Estamos comenzando con huertos, maceteros, esquejes, arboles y todo lo que podamos sumar a la tierra.

    **Las actividades son variadas, desde barrer las hojas, transplantar, construir, apoyar en cosas de la casa o algo que aportar. Y pueden ser dos o tres horas al día, pero todo es discutible.

    **Solo podemos ofrecerles estadía en el lugar, ya sea en hamaca, o tienda de acampar, hay cocina compartida, baño seco y ducha rústica.

    **La comida se organiza con compras grandes para que a todos nos salga mas conveniente. Cada uno paga su parte de la comida comunal si es que quieran participar en la misma. Pero también pueden comprar individualmente. La tienda se encuentra muy cerca.

    Buena vibra, seguimos en contacto (:

    Right now we are finishing building a wooden cabin, we are putting together vertical gardens and a vegetable garden. We want to continue with a skate ramp. We really occupy from a hand to holding things to sharing new knowledge on the spot. The idea is to share and enjoy nature and manual creations. Good vibes :)

    En este momento estamos terminando de construir una cabaña de madera, estamos armando jardines verticales y huerta.
    Queremos seguir con una rampa de skate.
    Realmente ocupamos desde una mano a sostener cosas hasta compartir nuevos conocimientos en el lugar. La idea es compartir y disfrutar de la naturaleza y las creaciones manuales.
    Buena vibra :)
