The Experience

Located in the Costa Rican Jungle, discover yourself, feel like home, and grow and celebrate with new friends in community. We are an established ecovillage, over 20 years since we opened. Wake up in the morning to flourishing nature, attend a free, optional yoga class. Cook breakfast in the shared kitchen with new friends, spend half the day working at our shop, cafe or kitchen, then enjoy the beach and the many beautiful events we have here.

The the eco village village village exceeded my expectations. The place is incredibly beautiful, with every corner filled with magic. Sleeping in the jungle reconnected me with nature, attuning to its sounds, animals, and rhythms. Waking up at dawn for daily Yoga was amazing. As a WEX volunteer in the kitchen, the atmosphere with the Ticas was very welcoming, giving me the opportunity to speak Spanish and immerse myself in Costa Rican culture while enjoying their delicious healthy cuisine. the the eco village village village attracts like-minded people weekly, leading to inspiring conversations and new friendships. I'm deeply gratefull
