  • Description

    Description

    We have an ecological farm in the mountains of southern Costa Rica, not far from the border with Panama, in an area called San Vito. We established it 21 years ago.
    We used to have goats and chickens. Two years ago we decided we wanted more of the forest so we parted ways with them, until the trees grew.
    We are currently looking for families/couples/individuals who are interested in coming for a period of 6 months (at least).
