  Descripción

  Hola! We are a small guesthouse located in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Costa Rica steps away from a beautiful black sand beach and a five minute walk to downtown Puerto Viejo. We offer an immersion into nature in a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. This is an authentic jungle living experience, we regularly have sloths and monkeys in the trees around the house. We have a beautiful garden full of medicinal and edible plants.
  
  We are currently looking for help to assist with the daily cleaning and organization of the guesthouse. You will not have to do laundry. We may ask you to receive arriving guests occasionally but it's very simple and you won't have to process any payments. It's possible we would ask you to walk the dogs now and then. We are flexible with the start and end dates. You will be staying in a private room in a shared house with shared bathrooms. There is hot water in the shower. We have high speed fiber optic internet, great for remote workers. This is a rustic, jungle living experience, beautiful and surrounded by nature!
  
  It is helpful if you speak both Spanish and English. Preference given to those with a background in hospitality. It is very important that you are animal lovers, there are many animals living on the property! Dogs, a cat, and chickens.
  
  Our work-exchange positions leave plenty of downtime for exploring Puerto Viejo! We are in a great location right on the beach and an easy walk into town. If this sounds interesting to you we would love to do a video call and see if it's a good fit!

  Mis animales / mascotas

  

  Chickens and guinea fowl

  We currently have a flock of seven chickens and two guinea fowl. They are low maintenance and beautiful birds, it's fun to watch them wander around the property. The fresh and delicious eggs are an added bonus!

  

  Gingi (12 años)

  Gingi has lived at Hidden Jungle Beach House longer than any of us! She belonged to the former owner who asked if I would keep her when I bought the place in 2018. Gingi is so sweet and such a little beauty that of course I said yes! She's extremely independent but still loves attention, she tends to bond with people who give her lots of love, and snacks of course!

  

  Mami (9 años)

  Mami is the newest addition to the Hidden Jungle Beach House family! On Christmas morning in 2025 I found Mami on the beach, all alone and scared. Thinking she'd gotten lost I took her home and tried everything imaginable to find her family but it seems likely she was abandoned on purpose. She settled in and became part of the family immediately without missing a beat. The vet estimates her to be around nine years old so she is the oldest of the four dogs and is the matriarch of the family. She gets tired faster than the others and she walks a little slower but she still loves to go to the beach with the family. She is a sweet and loving little dog and I love her deeply in return.

  

  Coffee (5 años)

  Coffee was found on the side of the road with a broken leg at less than four months old, luckily our wonderful rescue group Puerto Viejo Dogs was able to send him into surgery to fix his little leg. Originally we were just supposed to be his foster home during the recovery but he was so cute and fit in so well with Zenith and Guapo that I decided to keep him! He's the least social of the four dogs but he still likes a snuggle now and then. He loves to run and play, he's so fast and agile you would never know he had a broken leg as a puppy!

  

  Guapo (8 años)

  Guapo is a free-spirited and friendly rescue dog who is pretty famous for his solo adventures around downtown Puerto Viejo. Rescued off the streets as a puppy by our local dog rescue Puerto Viejo Dogs, Guapo spent about 8 months in his foster home before joining our family in 2019. He is playful and fun and has lots of friends all over town!

  

  Zenith (7 años)

  Zenith is a mini-pinscher/chihuahua mix, a small dog with a big personality! He loves attention and he loves snacks. He is incredibly special to me, he came into my life when he was ten weeks old and we have been inseparable ever since!
