Finca la Puebla is a beautiful small organic jungle farm where you'll learn about growing tropical and other edibles, including coffee. You'll have close encounters with spectacular birds of unreal colors, see a rushing river on the property, and enjoy a large covered outdoor space for hanging out with other woofers, reading, doing yoga, playing an instrument, or becoming one with a hammock during cooling late afternoon thunderstorms. Walk to the local town for a meal out and tasty drinks, or take a day trip to the cloud forest, the coast, San Isidro, or to a local coffee roaster. So fun!
Great location, Close to national parks mountain trails and buses to the beach. Walking distance to a small town, easy ride into a larger town with great farmers markets and amenities. Knowledgeable and friendly staff on a beautiful and diverse farm. Recommended!
machete adventures. timeless memories. Intense exploring everywhere!
One of the greatest experiences I've had in the past years :)
You'll definitely learn about organic farming, but moreover you will learn about yourself, spiritually and intellectually. You will have plenty of time to do whatever you dreamed of doing all those years, whether it's about cooking, meditating, painting, reading etc.
Walter is a well of knowledge, and he'll open to you if you open and show respect to him, to the farm and more importantly, to yourself. The jungle is a fascinating place to live in, and you'll only enjoy it purely only if you really embrace it. So leave the stress, the clock, the electronic stuff and the western habits at the doorstep, for this is a place a pure and timeless living.
Open your mind, heart, learn, admire, explore, apply, discover as much as you can during your stay there :)
Pura Vida fellow wwoofers, for you are about to discover a little bubble of heaven, hidden gem of our world !
Beautiful experience, must be willing to work hard and take time to understand yourself and the values you bear. Much love and pura vida
Bonjour à tous,
Je tiens à préciser avant de commencer que je n'aime pas critiquer en général et encoret moins poster un mot négatif tel que celui ci à la vue de tout le monde. Mais je pense que j'aurais aimé lire ceci si j'étais à votre place actuellement. Alors ami français, je vous conseille de ne pas vous rendre à finca la puebla ! A part si vous avez de l'argent à perdre. Cette ferme ressemble plus à un business qu'autre chose. Le site internet dit par exemple que la nourriture est comprise dans le prix que vous payez, ce qui est faux! Vous devez achetés votre nourriture ( assez chère au Costa Rica ), la ferme fournit juste quelques bananes et du gingembre/Curcuma. Le jardin ressemblait plus à un prétexte de ferme pour appater des woofers. La plupart du temps je ne travaillais pas car pas nécessaire..Walter, le gérant s'est avéré être quelqu'un de pas sympathique du tout, limite irréspectueux par moment.
Les chambres et accomodations étaient aussi sale en permanence à cause des chiens. Pour résumer, c'étais vraiment pas une expérience satisfaisante. Et pour moi ce n'est pas la définition du woofing.
Great place. RIP Dear friend Frank
