Important information :
We welcome volunteers who enjoy peace and direct contact with nature. Our lodge is quiet, surrounded by birds, reptiles, and amphibians, with trails, an organic garden, and a botanical garden — perfect for a detox from the city.

If you are looking for bars, restaurants, or crowds, this is not the right place. From here you can plan trips to La Fortuna (Arenal Volcano), Río Celeste (Tenorio Volcano), the Central Pacific beaches, or even the Caribbean if you are adventurous.
We are located in the tropics, where most of the time the weather is warm. The shower provides fresh water without any chemicals, as it comes directly from a natural spring on the property. The water is at ambient temperature (not hot water).
Important tip: bring cash, as the nearest town (5 km away) has no ATM. USD may work sometimes, but it’s best to carry local currency.
