Descrição
My name is Joshua and live in Dos Brazos de Rio Tigre in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, 12 km from Puerto Jimenez the gateway to Corcovado National Park where the jungle meets the ocean. The property is comprised of 2.5 acres (1 hectare) with cabins and gardens.
The small town of Dos Brazos borders the world renowned Corcovado NP, the reason I came to Costa Rica years ago. It is an old gold mining town off the beaten path set in the rainforest. There is no real store, restaurant or place to hang out except the school soccer field or in nature. There is satellite internet for all communication and a small van/buseta that goes to Puerto Jimenez twice a day for your personal needs.
Regarding volunteering: A single person, couple, or friends traveling together would be the ideal situation. Staying by yourself can get a little boring and solitary after a couple weeks. Couples and friends have been well suited for our isolated little town but volunteers who require more stimulation and interaction unfortunately do not have the desired experience. 1 month minimum stay.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We are located on the border of one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, Corcovado National Park, in the Osa peninsula of Costa Rica. IF you like nature and being off the beating path you will be pleasantly surprised waking up to the birds in the morning and going to bed listening to the frogs and insects chirping.
