Nature enthusiasts who have a passion for sustainable farming and a love for animals, particularly horses. Volunteers should be eager to learn about organic farming practices and gain hands-on experience in a unique jungle setting. Horse lovers and individuals with a sense of adventure will thoroughly enjoy the horseback riding experience while being surrounded by diverse wildlife. Previous horseback riding experience is not required as the horses are gentle and accustomed to volunteers.

Located deep within the primary jungle, this is an exceptional opportunity for volunteers to immerse themselves in sustainable farming practices. Gain hands-on experience and valuable knowledge about organic farming while exploring the heart of the jungle.

Easily Accessible from Puerto Jimenez

Our organic farming project is conveniently located just 2 hours from Puerto Jimenez by public bus, with two daily departures. Upon reaching the drop-off point, it's a scenic 1-hour horseback ride to the farm. The only way to reach the organic farm is by horse, making it an exciting and eco-friendly journey for volunteers and tourists.

Combine Adventure with Conservation

As you ride to the farm on horseback, you'll have the chance to embark on a thrilling horse-riding tour through the jungle. Encounter remarkable wildlife as you journey along the route, including coatis, tapirs, pumas, monkeys, and wild pigs. The entrance to Corcovado National Park, renowned as one of Costa Rica's most biodiverse reserves, is located in close proximity to the farm.

Horseback Riding Enthusiasts Welcome

Horses play a vital role in our organic farming project as both working animals and a mode of transportation. Volunteers will have the opportunity to work closely with these magnificent creatures throughout their stay. Whether you're an experienced rider or a complete beginner, our calm and friendly horses are perfect companions for the journey to the farm.
