Über das Programm

One of our main intentions with this program is to improve the Spanish language skills through real and conversational language practice on a daily basis.  

Because this is part of our volunteer learning program, we would be also doing field tasks at the nursery, composting center, harvesting, gardens and terraces tasks, (bio)construction projects and bio-factory. 

Community kitchen rotation: Cooking 2-4 times a week (Mon-Fri), breakfast or lunch for the rest of the team. You will do it on your own or with a partner. 

During the afternoons we would be having free and personal time. We would also have some home tasks, such as house weekly general cleaning, house recycling, ferments and nonalcoholic brews making. 

Once a week we have a community wellness activity that we decide in collective during our weekly planning meeting. It could be yoga, dancing, magical passes, documentary or movie night, etc. 

This program also includes a Spanish lesson once a week, as well as daily accompaniment on your language acquisition. At the end of your stay, you will present a short project on your Spanish improvement. 
 
Every Friday we have as a check-in word circle, to share about our state of being, feelings and needs, according to compassionate communication principals. We like to make sure that we’re co-creating a safe space from a holistic perspective. 

The land is located at 1,200 m a.s.l. This is why we may either have sunny days, as well as rainy and cool ones. We’re surrounded by a wonderful diversity in flora and fauna. You can expect to see an interesting variety of birds, bugs, spiders, scorpions, snakes and some wild mammals.

We usually visit a local attraction (waterfall, hot springs, hiking) once a month.

Having a Spanish personal time to study is highly recommended during afternoons or evenings. We have some cool books at our home library, or just having spontaneous conversational time.

Some other experiences around are a visit to Irazú Volcano, Guayabo Archeological monument, Lankester Botanical Garden, Cartago Municipal Museum, Cartago Basilica, the Ruins, Local markets. You could also plan on going further away, like planning a trip to the beach.

Finca Sol y Valle is a place in which people from all over the world can come and have a practical learning experience in a community based, permaculture lifestyle.

¡Hola! Hi! Salut ! Oi! Ciao!

Welcome to our farm!
We're a community of people co-creating a more sustainable lifestyle, in harmony with nature.
More than half of the farm is a protected secondary forest with 50+ year old trees - a breath of fresh air in the heart of Costa Rica's deforested agricultural region. Other areas on the property include a bamboo forest for construction needs, a food forest with over 100 fruit trees, extensive organic gardens for personal consumption, and several bioconstruction projects. The project serves as an sustainable model contrasting with the chemical-based farms nearby.

Finca Sol y Valle was a fantastic experience.

The systems they have in place are simple ...

My experience on the finca Sol Y Valle had a real impact on my person who lives in Europe. It was really satisfied to learn new things about agriculture every day. I liked to spend time with Anamor, Dani, and Jeffrey on the farm but also with local people who worked on the farm. During my free time ...
I really enjoyed my two months internship at Finca sol y valle. In Germany I study horticulture and going abroad for my internship was the best decision ever. The farm is a very nice place to stay. Waking up every morning over the clouds surrounded by such a rich nature. I don’t know how many ...
