This is an experience of a lifetime. I couldn't have asked for a better first time solo travel trip. Fernando and his family took really great care of me and welcomed we in with open arms the moment I arrived. During my stay I was able to see beautiful waterfalls and lots of wildlife, go Kayaking, hiking, do the Tarzan swings, camping on islands, and learn how to make chocolate from scratch while contributing to tours. Fernando made me feel very safe while encouraging me to overcome my fears. I am so grateful to have met Fernando and his beautiful family. Pura Vida!

My experience in the south of Costa Rica with Fernando was incredible! I was able to see so many beautiful places and hidden gems of this land that I couldn't have imagine before. Even if you are not on a tour you will have the opportunity to meet some locals (mostly kids) and teach them English. If you are looking for adventure and you want to immerse yourself into the local culture this is the right place for you. Little tip, remember to withdraw some cash before coming here because it was difficult for me to find an ATM which dispenses dollars.

Fernando is a great host, he is really flexible and will always try to make you feel good. His place is quite basic, with minimum confort but his heart is big.
During my stay, we went on a 12km hike in the jungle and we stayed 2 nights on a campsite at the seaside. We went exploring the surrounding with a kayak and did a bit of snorkeling.
The others days we stayed at his place, learning how to make coconut biscuits, helping translating for a cacao tour, or we did some work on his house like painting.
Around his place you can easily meet some being of the jungle, like monkeys.

My time at ExtremoSur was amazing and I feel so lucky to have experienced it! Fernando was super friendly and made me feel extremely welcomed. Each day was completely different and I got to help with lots of tours and other projects. If you love nature, adventure, getting dirty wet and muddy, and don't mind quickly changing plans/are able to go with the flow, this is the place for you! I enjoyed my time so much that I ended up staying longer than I originally planned. I'll remember my experiences here for the rest of my life!! :)

Spending over 3 weeks at the camping has been absolutely fantastic! Fernando is incredibly knowledgable and passionate about the jungle, canyoning and his Tarzan swings. I was fortunate enough to volunteer when a lot of tours were on so visited many different waterfalls and helped out by learning how to belay and handle the ropes. Fernando is super adventurous and fun to work with and he really likes to give back by taking you to amazing locations if you put in the effort. Also his wife Linneth is lovely and will cook each day. Accommodation is basic but that can be expected for the jungle.
