"Our one-month stay at RASCAREY truly couldn't have been more fulfilling. Why? Here we go:
THE PLACE: to put it simple, it's just paradise for nature lovers. The house is literally a minute away from a beautiful, long, and solitary beach, surrounded by vegetation and trails through the jungle. Plenty of amazing creatures - underwater (bring a snorkelling mask, please!), on the land, and in the air. There is something new to discover everyday if you keep your eyes and ears open. From our personal experience we can say that if you spend enough time here you might get lucky and see even more animals than in some of the tours in the Corcovado natural park.
THE PEOPLE: Brisa and Esteban are doing an outstanding job at recruiting volunteers, managing the project, and sharing their knowledge about the surroundings they're so well-adapted to. They care for the people they host and they ensure to build a harmonious environment for comunal living. People at Rascarey not only work together, but also cook in teams that vary daily, have communal meals, and often spend free time doing something fun together (hiking, snorkelling, learning how to cook Costa Rican dishes and how to make coconut oil from scratch, watching movies or documentaries on the projector...). This also provides the opportunity to get to know well other volunteers, who, in our experience, are like-minded people that care for the environment, enjoy nature, and have many interesting stories and conversations to share. We're very grateful for being part of the Rascarey family and for having met a bunch of its awesome individuals.
THE WORK: obviously mainly outdoor and generally with some degree of physical tasks, but also with the possibility to do more "office-like" work such as contributing to the social media and website content of the project or artistic activities such as painting. We've done many different kinds of work, most of them making use of the natural resources around the house: construction work with bamboo, seeding and transplanting trees for the agriculture project, remodelling the entrance of the finca with rocks and gravel sand... so many useful learnings! Around once a week there's also a beach clean-up, and we've been using the shamefully large amount of plastic bottles that we find to build a fence-wall for a greenhouse that is looking great [This description relates to the kind of activities performed during the turtle off season].
THE OUTCOME: we've gained new and useful skills, become fitter, learnt a lot about Costa Rican nature and culture, had a lot of fun, and fallen in love with this place and these people, now Friends. We consider ourselves blessed for having spent one month at RASCAREY."

"My one-month nature immersion experience at this place was fantastic. I have spent unforgettable moments with the family. The center is located in a magnificent remote area, full of nature and wildlife, just in front of the beach. During my stay, I could observe parrots, a tapir, a boa snake, frogs, coatis, white head monkeys and several other wild animals. I had as well the chance to participate in several releases of freshly hatched baby turtles into the ocean. This place is a true paradise for nature lovers and to take a rest.
I was warmly welcomed by Esteban and Brisa upon my arrival and felt directly part of the family. They did their best to make me feel comfortable and I enjoyed to spend some time with this inspiring couple. They live a close-to-nature unconventional life, focused on their essential needs. I really enjoyed as well the activities we did with the couple in our free-time - e.g. fishing with Esteban's boat, hiking in the natural reserve close to the house with our private guides, watching movies in the evening, learning to juggle etc. I met as well so many kind, funny and inspiring volunteers during my stay and I appreciated all the discussions and laughs we had together. Hope to meet the crew again in the future!!
With regard to work, I had the opportunity to participate in various activities - e.g. beach clean-up, bamboo cutting, building bamboo structures, cleaning the house, preparing coconut oil, helping with the excavation of turtles' nests, planting various seeds and trees, creating a gravel path, constructing a bookshelf, learning to prepare local dishes etc. I gained several practical skills related with sustainable lifestyle, which are going to be of great use for my life. I had to work four hours a day, activities have never been too exhausting, and I think the balance between work and relaxation was good.
One warning, you need to be comfortable with the idea to live close to the wild, that implies to have sometimes weird insects visiting you. One advice, come with joy and good mood and this place will give it back to you!
Thank you so much Esteban and Brisa for this great experience and I wish you all the best in your projects!! Hasta la proxima :)"
