After going to the more touristy destinations in Costa Rica, I can definitely say that this is an experience you won't forget. Rick, who works on the farm, is so knowledgeable about permaculture and in tune with the spirit of the plants. Vivian and Efrain, who also live on the farm, are Costa Ricans born and bred, who love cooking authentic food and showing you around! I spent a week here expanding my city-girl boundaries doing everything from cliff jumping at waterfalls (yikes!) to getting in touch with nature to working with animals.
