About the experience in: Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
Chile
Maravillosa experiencia, en una comunidad alegre y comprometida con el cuidado del medioambiente, compuesta por personas muy valiosas que me enseñaron mucho y donde me sentí muy acompañada y que mi trabajo fue un aporte.
Se respetan las horas de trabajo, los días libres y se comparte en un buen ambiente. Totalmente recomendable!

About the experience in: Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
Spain
Estuve en la casa 2 meses.
Pros: me gustó el proyecto. Sobre todo la limpieza de playa y participar en los colegios.
He conocido a mucha gente y he compartido momentos inolvidables.
Contras: la organización no es su fuerte.
Los managers pueden almorzar y entrar en la cocina pero yo no estaba autorizada.
Incomodidad al escuchar discusiones de pareja.
Eché de menos mejor trato de los managers, sobre todo pq convivía con ellos.
Había pulgas en la habitación y tuve erupciones graves en la piel.
La comida solo hidratos. No proteína para vegetarianos.
Staff sobrecargado.
Gracias x la experiencia!

It was such a good experience to stay and learn so much in this paradise
The team is lovely and it’s calm, in the middle of the jungle, Puerto Viejo is a nice place to stay
I’ve worked in the locals schools and did amazing workshops for the kids about environmental consciousness
I really liked working in team and be free about the content/ how to run a workshop and be creative
Thanks a lot
Pura Vida 🤍

Muchas gracias Tip for your support during this time. You were a very calm addition to the team in the bbeginning but I think the progress you've made was notable for everyone. The workshops turned out very nicely thanks to your creativity and kindness with the kids Good luck with everything and hasta pronto 💚

We loved our stay at Planet conservation, a fun place with lots going on, staying a long time is a real benefit so you can enjoy the freedom of taking ownership of projects your working on and getting involved in the community. It takes a week to settle in and find your role but once you are settled you will feel part of the casa caribe family.
