The experience

Martin has been the steward of this land with the vision of conserving as much of the forest as possible. He divides his time between guiding at the Los Cedros reserve and working at Los Yumbos to make his dream happen: opening an eco lodge and birding hotspot. All with conservation in mind.

For this dream to become true, he needs extra hands, be it in the kitchen, on the trails or in the garden.

Program Details

We are currently sanding the lodge, which needs to be varnished as well. Once done we would need help preparing the rooms. Martin also has to work the land and having someone around to help preparing meals is super appreciated.

We plan to start a GoFundMe project for the toilets and showers and could need some help creating digital content for this.


Rules

If you plan for a longer stay we might ask you to stay alone at the reserve. Please note the lodge is rather isolated and there's only limited (and expensive) transport available to the nearest town.
