Welcome to Volunteer Finca Rio Perla
Chances are you've come to our website because you want to learn, because you want to explore, because you want adventure, because you have skills to share, because you want the experience, because you want to look back and say “I did something different with my life,” because you love nature, and because you appreciate cultural exchange.
We’re glad you took the time to check out the Finca Rio Perla website and hope you visit us soon in Costa Rica.
Finca Rio Perla is a farm located in the Caribbean Highlands of Costa Rica, in a small village called Union Rio Perla. We are located about 60 miles (100 km) east of San Jose and 40 miles (60 km) west of the Port of Limon. We are close to the town of Siquirres and whitewater rafting attractions at the Pacuare River, and near to Earth University (Pocora).
ABOUT VOLUNTEER FINCA RIO PERLA
Volunteer Finca Rio Perla is a farm where you can experience organic gardening, working with animals, tree planting, and lots of other farm and tourism related activities. Get a chance to milk cows by hand and make cheese, and other foods. Get a chance to learn to cook new dishes and also help us by cooking your specialties. Be comfortable to practice your Spanish, make cultural connections, meet new friends in Costa Rica, begin life-long friendships with volunteers from other countries, and of course enjoy amazing waterfalls.
The average work-day is about 5-6 hours, and the work week is 6 days. We will have both assigned and optional tasks, and we hope that your own ideas and creativity can also generate different work options.

The program does not cover the cost of transportation, to Costa Rica, or any trips or tours you choose to take while you volunteer with us (with advance notice we can arrange transportation to the farm from Siquirres or Earth University). You should have personal travel
insurance.
