  Descrição

  Please read all information before contacting us. We can only host 1 volunteer that can work independently for mostly physical tasks during the months of July-August and September. No other months are available.
  
  🌿 Welcome to our little green corner of Costa Rica
  
  Nestled in the rolling green hills behind the Karen Mogensen Nature Reserve, our small rural village is a peaceful haven where life still flows at a gentle, authentic pace .
  
  This is real Costa Rica, refreshingly non-touristy, yet within a short drive you can reach a few quiet, palm-fringed beaches for a perfect day by the sea. On our property, a seasonal river with small waterfalls (from May to December) brings life and music to the valley. Wildlife is part of daily life here: howler monkeys swing through the trees, coatis and iguanas wander by, and every so often, even a curious puma or a pair of coyotes passes through the hills.
  
  Our home is perfect for those who value quiet time and emerge in nature. Volunteers who enjoy keeping themselves busy with reading, writing, drawing, yoga, or peaceful walks will love it here. There is an easy jungle trail leading to the river, cosy hammocks for lazy afternoons, and high-speed Fiber optic internet for those who need to stay connected.
  
  We are always happy to help volunteers explore the region and offer them a ride (for a small fee).
  
  To preserve the natural peace of this place, no loud music is allowed on the property. The jungle soundtrack of birds, frogs, and crickets is music enough. 🎶
  
  If you’re looking for a place surrounded by nature, a spot where the jungle, reforestation, and pura vida truly meet, then we’d love to welcome you here. 🌱💚
  
  Please only contact us for the available months indicated green in the calendar. We cannot host volunteers if marked red.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Before settling down in Costa Rica, we traveled to over 40 countries and love learning about other cultures and perspectives. Workawayers who join us will find plenty of space for cultural exchange, whether it’s cooking plant-based meals together, sharing travel stories, or simply learning from each other’s backgrounds.
  
  We’re also active in our small community. Every few months we organize a spay & neuter clinic for cats and dogs, which has become an important event for local families. Volunteers staying with us at that time are welcome to get involved and experience this unique aspect of rural Costa Rican life.

  Ajuda

  We’re a small team of two running a reforestation project and cultivating a small organic vegetable garden tucked away in nature. It’s not a big social hub, rather a peaceful place for those who love quiet days, some physical work and the sounds of the jungle.
  
  In the green season (July to September) we look specifically for this help:
  
  🌱 harvesting dragon fruit and machete work in reforestation zone
  
  💪 Physical tasks: clearing pasture overgrown with tall grass to prepare new areas for tree planting for those that crave a good work-out
  
  🪵 Carpentry: sanding, making furniture, building small structures — only for those skilled or with sufficient experience in woodworking to work independently.
  
  As we are busy with our online business and other projects this is not so much a learning stay but more a helping stay. We prefer volunteers that can work independently for the (DIY) projects matching their skills.
  
  You’re free to plan your own breaks and lunch in your private outdoor kitchen. Afternoons are usually reserved for relaxing, reading, exploring the property or simply enjoying the hammocks.
  
  On workdays we can share dinner at the house , a lovely time to unwind, chat, and exchange stories about the day.
  
  What we offer
  • A tranquil, natural environment to recharge mind and body
  • Pick-up and drop off in Jicaral or at the ferry Playa Naranjo (5000 colones)
  • Private space and your own kitchen
  • Laundry once a week free of charge (additional laundry: 2000 colones)
  • Fiber-optic internet for those who like to write, read, or reflect online
  • Walking trail to a river canyon
  • No loud music, no rush, just jungle peace and bird song
  
  This is ideal for:
  • Volunteers that can work independently seeking a slower lifestyle
  • Writers, readers, or quiet souls who like to be in nature but also love physical work outdoors or love to work with wood
  
  It is perfect for volunteers that appreciate independence, peace, and a slower way of living in nature.
