Free time: Explore nearby natural attractions, such as the Pacuare River, national parks, and indigenous reserves.

Commitment: Enthusiastic individuals who are eager to contribute to our sustainable tourism project and help us create a welcoming space for future visitors.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We are Costa Ricans, but we are not originally from this part of the country. We spend most of our time here because we work remotely. We have many ideas to make our property more eco-friendly, but we don't always have the technical knowledge. We speak Spanish most of the time, but we would also like to practice English and other languages.

Most of the time, we interact with people who speak Spanish. We live in a rural area with many opportunities to learn Costa Rican cooking, engage in adventure sports, and enjoy nature.

It is a three-story cabin made of steel, recently constructed but not yet finished. It has water, electricity, and very little furniture.
We offer both food/meals/ingredients and accommodation.

Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads
We would also like to be digital nomads. After helping us with the construction tasks we need, there are multiple spaces where you can work on your projects, business, or virtual tasks.
Espace pour garer des vans
Although we have space for camping, we still do not have a dedicated sanitary service or shower for camping. Our parking area is not very spacious for large vehicles. Vehicular access can be more difficult in the winter due to mud.
