We are looking for energetic, motivated, and independent volunteers to help us care for our property in the jungle of Cabo Matapalo.
We live completely off-grid, powered by solar energy and supplied with sustainable well water. The nearest town is approximately one hour away, so this is a remote experience best suited to people who genuinely enjoy nature, surfing, outdoor life, and being away from the city. 🌿
Volunteer activities are varied and may include gardening, keeping the property clean and organized, helping with small projects, preparing spaces for guests, and supporting us with social media and our website. Work can be physically demanding at times Must be willing to help clean.
The work can be demanding, and we especially value people who take initiative. If you notice something that needs attention, we appreciate volunteers who are willing to step in rather than always waiting to be told what to do.
The experience also includes opportunities to enjoy tours while living in this unique jungle and surf environment. Must be able to work on their own without constant supervision. We need people to care for our property while we are away working.
Activities may include:
- Gardening and maintaining tropical plants.
- Sweeping and cleaning outdoor areas.
- Keeping shared spaces clean and organized.
- Light housekeeping.
- Preparing spaces for arriving guests.
- Helping with dishes and general cleaning.
- Supporting guests when needed.
- Checking that the property looks clean and welcoming.
- Creating content for Instagram and other social media platforms.
- Helping improve our website and online presence.
- Supporting small projects around the property.
Schedules are flexible and may change depending on check-ins, check-outs, weather conditions, surf, tours, and current lodge projects.
To keep the property comfortable and enjoyable for everyone, we ask volunteers to:
- Keep your room and shared areas clean and organized.
- Clean up after yourself in the kitchen.
- Wash your dishes after using them and help with dishes when you see they need to be done.
- Respect guests and their privacy.
- Keep noise to a minimum during quiet hours, especially after 10:00 PM.
- Treat other volunteers, staff, neighbors, and guests with respect.
- Never leave food or trash around, as we live in the jungle and it can attract animals and insects.
- Place food waste in the designated composting area.
- Understand that drugs, aggressive behavior, harassment, or disrespect toward guests, staff, or other volunteers will not be tolerated.
