    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You would be staying with us, a local family in Costa Rica where you can experience everyday life and enjoy homemade typical meals. Majority of the members of the family speak mainly Spanish, so it is a perfect opportunity to improve your language skills too. We also welcome the opportunity to improve our English and learn other languages. Besides that, you can gain valuable experience with work at the reception, processing reservations through booking and hostelword, workaway webpage, customer service and problem solving. The hostel is located in a high tourist area, so you can broaden your knowledge about how tourism works in Costa Rica. And, of course, you can implement your photographic, gardening and planting skills. Lastly, you will meet a lot of people from all over the world and make many friends and have new adventures!

    However, all activities we are offering to our tourists are waiting for you, as well. So get ready to explore beautiful cloud forests during the day or night, experience ziplining, rafting, canyoning, horseback riding and many other activities.
