Beschreibung
We are a small, family run eco-lodge in the heart of a Costa Rican tropical Rain-forest. We are located along the Pacuare River, one of the top ten rafting destinations in the world. Our guests generally raft into and out of the lodge. We offer an all-inclusive package with guided hikes, rafting, lodging and meals. This is a place to unplug and refresh.
The Workawayers assist experienced, independent local guides in meal preparation and cleanup. Workawayers will also assist Carolina and Johanna with cabin cleaning and Don Mario with gardening. Workawayers will have the chance to meet and interact with customers from all over the world. A true Cultural experience in a beautiful setting. In your free time there are hikes, bird and wildlife watching, river reacting and other activities available. We also have a large book collection for those of you that would like to spend your afternoon relaxing in a hammock with a book. On days off some Workawayers like to hang around the lodge while others travel to nearby tourist destinations via public transportation. Like our clients and staff, workawayers will eat well.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

There is no other way to describe it, it was the best workaway experience we have had. It is exactly as described, a paradise. The three meals are always very tasty and filling.

We spent a month at the lodge and were very happy with the experience.
We had to clean every day the public places, the guests' cabins, the dishes. We loved helping the guides (all very nice) to prepare some meals.
The food is very good, with good quantities, every day.

The lodge is set in such a beautiful location and is a great place to spot wildlife, particularly birds. There is no WiFi and no cell service (Movistar picks up very limited signal) so it is the perfect place to disconnect for a little while. Make sure you bring books and strong… read more
