Finca la Quimera is the perfect place to get inmerse in nature and rural life, get in contact with the real country life as well as a place where to explore and learn how to become more sustainable , learn about other cultures, yourself, and how to live in comunity,
Hi! my name is Alba, Im 40, originally from Spain, but I have spent a few years in Costa Rica already. A few years ago I quit my previous job in my homecountry and came to Costa Rica with some savings to start a new way of life. Now I live in this beautiful and secluded spot between the mountains which is a 9Ha property farm situated in a valley sorrounded by secondary and primary forest and the beautiful river Jicotea. Here, Im starting a sustainable permaculture project. Untill now we have been focused in creating our veggie garden, constructing a spring water captation, a workshop building with a comunal área and kitchen and a cabin in the forest where to host volunteers and other colaborators for the project. I live here sharing the space with groups of 5-6 volunteers at the time , and my partner that is much of the time away for work.

I have nothing but love for this place! It was magical. The Finca, Alba, her little bebesita and my volunteer group was just amazing. I learned so much while working on this Farm: improving my fire and cooking skills while using typical Costa Rican food, harvest beans, yuca, bananas, making steps and stakes and Albas knowhow in general was something i will never forget. I learned a lot about permaculture and sustanability. Being in contact with nature and yourself is truly an AMAZING experience i absolutely recommend! On top is Alba one of the most inspiring persons i've ever met! Only Love 💘

Alba also a has a great knowledge of permaculture something I was unfamiliar with before coming to the farm. Alba was an amazing host and made us feel so comfortable the whole time we were there, thank you so much Alba I hope the project all goes well

No puedo describir con palabras lo feliz y completa que me sentido en la finca. Alba es un ejemplo y una inspiración. Me he sentido como en casa incluso estando tan lejos. He aprendido cosas que espero y creo que no olvidaré jamás. He hecho cosas por primera vez en mi vida que antes de llegar aquí no sabía ni que existían. La cabina donde nos hemos quedado es preciosa y súper acogedora. La gente, el trabajo y por supuesto, la compañía han sido increíbles. No sé si volveré a Costa Rica en un futuro, pero si lo hago no tengo duda que volveré a pasar por la finca aunque sea de paseo.

I had a very great experience at Albas Farm,
she has so much experience with volunteers over other platforms and cares so much about us having a good time.
You really learn to connect with nature and so much about yourself!
I would recommend it if you like to be in the jungle and are not afraid of insects because you are literally surrounded by forest.
Alba was a flight attendant so she speaks fluent English and Spanish. On top of that she is one of the most interesting people I ever met and she loves to share the craziest story’s….;)
I’m so grateful for everything thank you Alba sooo so much

Me and a friend stayed one month at Finca la Quimera. From the first moment on I felt welcome and fulfilled. It was an enriching month full of good talks, swims in the river, a nice work experience where I learned about ecological agriculture and how we can work with nature instead of working against it and an insight in the Costa-Rican culture. Alba is so wearm-hearted, inspiring and honest. I am truly greatful for the experience and the Finca will always have a place in my heart.
