Merci à Adolfo et à sa famille pour cette expérience et cette semaine passée à Bijagua ! Nous avons été merveilleusement bien accueillies. Cette semaine nous a permis de nous faire une idée sur le travail quotidien d'une ferme. Nous avons trouvé chez eux l'authenticité de la vie au Costa Rica… merci et Pura Vida !

Fue mí primer voluntariado y no pudo haber sido mejor. Adolfo y su familia son muy cálidos. Desde que pactamos mí llegada se preocupó y estuvo en cada detalle. Me ayudó mucho con los traslados y la información. Compartimos muchas charlas y momentos muy divertidos. Las tres comidas fueron excelentes. Me acompañó siempre y aprendí mucho sobre cultivos, trabajamos la tierra, me enseñó sobre la flora y fauna del lugar. Sin dudas volvería a repetir la experiencia. Fue muy nutritiva!
