Our volunteers will be able to collaborate and learn to build eco-friendly accommodations that serve as real examples of sustainable rural tourism in Costa Rica, using ecological materials such as bamboo, wood, stones, etc. By collaborating with us, volunteers will be directly contributing to the reduction of environmental impact through bioconstruction techniques, promoting a more conscious lifestyle connected with nature, and strengthening a family project that aims to inspire others and be part of this project. 🌿 ♻️ 🌱
🛠️ Activities may vary depending on the needs at the moment, but include:
- Construction of tiny houses (working with wood, sanding, basic assembly)
- Support in bioconstruction (natural finishes, details)
- Cleaning and organizing common spaces, tools, supporting the foreman, moving materials, contributing ideas among the whole team; it is about integration and participation.
Schedule: generally in the morning, to take advantage of the climate
Afternoons free to rest, explore the area or socialize, enjoy the farm and go to the river, for hikes and to connect with nature.
Although there is flexibility depending on the agenda, shifts start early at the farm (From 7 am to 2 pm) with a break for breakfast and lunch. (at 9 am and 12-1 pm for lunch).
A typical day may include construction work in the morning, communal lunch and free time in the afternoon.
We also highly value spaces for convivencia: sharing meals, conversations and cultural experiences.
We are looking for people who are responsible and committed, have a good attitude and willingness to learn, enjoy physical work outdoors with initiative and be proactive.
No prior construction experience is necessary, but there is plenty of motivation to learn.
