    Description

    Skilled proactive people desired to help in the starting phase of this amazing project in the beautiful lagoon of Chiriqui Grande. Over 3 hectares of lush green land with water access only on the main land of the tropical province Bocas de Toro are to be designed for a self- sustained healing and growing space, come and contribute!

    PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
    You should want to make a difference and not just look for a cheap arrangement.
    We will only respond to non- generic emails showing you have read our profile and have skills which we have asked for!
    If you have knowledge of plumbing, building and the likes or computer and/ or marketing skills and if you want to immerse yourself fully into experiencing this place, we are a good match.
    Despite "civilization" being nearby, on the premises you will get a sense of being removed from the rest of the world and get in rhythm with nature. This means early sleeping and waking up - carpe diem!
    It is not a suitable place for heavy drinkers or regular marihuana consumers.

    Help

    This project is just starting.
    At present we need people with skills like building and plumbing, but also marketing and computer and a sound social platform knowledge that goes beyond a mere personal use experience. In some cases simple house help or shaving and painting walls might be also possible.

    The former wooden tool bodega right by the sea serves as an independent apartment.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There is a motorboat and a car stationed in the village less than 1 km away.
    Guests can use the neighbor's service of crossing the river on a big float. From the village (less than a km away, you can get basic groceries there and eat out at weekends) buses go to the next towns of Chiriqui Grande, (a cultural experience in itself! :-) and to David, Boquete, or Costa Rica.
    There are mountains, rivers and waterfalls, and of course, the lagoon, which has lake qualities.
    You should be willing to be fully here and immerse yourself into the experience, rather than having an attitude of working off hours to ensure a free stay. The hours are not more, but can stretch out over the day or vary, depending on weather or other conditions, and the attitude is felt! Despite "civilization" being nearby, on the premises you will get a sense of being removed from the rest of the world and get in rhythm with nature. This means early sleeping and waking up - carpe diem!
    It is not a suitable place for heavy drinkers or regular marihuana consumers.
