Thanks to Dora I had a very special and interesting stay. It is really in the middle of nowhere, only with animals, nature and a very basic casa to live 🌴🌸
We cleaned the beach, the garden, I helped her cooking (Dora cooks amazing food!).
She was so patient with me talking in spanish, so she helped me improve it mucho :)
Everyday we went for a walk, she showed me animals and we even saw a baby turtles liberation! 😍
Depending on the period, you may see many or no turtles, just check before!

Sometimes there was noise from the neigbour s and check the taxi prices before :) thanks Dora 🦥🐢🐒

I spent 3 weeks with Dora in Pacuare, I wholeheartedly recommend this experience as it has helped me improve as a person in many aspects; it has been an enrichment that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. If you want to be in direct contact with nature, see animals every day and discover how welcoming the people in Costa Rica can be, don't hesitate to go to the community and the community.

A fairly unique and exotic experience! The place is really isolated from everything, but with nice weather it's a paradise. It's calm and quiet, the family is very kind. The host is always attentive and in a good mood; you can talk with her and she adapts to our needs. There aren't many activities, but they're easy to do and, I hope, will help the family and the peninsula for the better. You will see many wild animals! However, the turtles are not visible all year round; please check beforehand if you want to take part in turtle protection.

Hello, My name is Louane and I am 18 years old. I was able to participate in this experience and discover a different way of living and very welcoming locals. Dora is a very kind woman and attentive, as well as her family. I was able to enjoy the very beautiful landscapes of Costa Rica. However I was very disappointed by the few activities practiced. I did not perform any mission such as cleaning the beaches nor anything that was requested. I was surprised by the lack of hygiene, particularly regarding the waste left around the house, and saddened by the living conditions of their animals.
