Ernesto the host and the vibe of the place. The story behind the place is heart warming and gives you positive feelings. The hidden river is a must, you can swim and chill in the middle of the nature. Ernesto helped us a lot, gave us explanations about animals around and place to visit. He even gave us advices about the best itinerary to take to go on our next stop. Lovely place, kind person, touching encounter.

First of all a big big thank you to Ernesto an Leslie, the owners of Vocaré, who made this wonderful and special experience so marvelous. From the first minute we felt like visiting friends, such a warm welcome for us and our two kids. Our kids loved the dogs (9), pigs, chicken and bats😉 Ernesto and Leslie made a super delicious breakfast with fruits from their garden. The Dinner was a dream, fresh smoothies with fruits from the trees next to you, vegetables from the garden and the best fish I have eaten. Ernesto and Leslie I told you, I will be back just to have dinner with you😉 The river next to Vocaré is so nice. We went swimming in the river, there is kind of a pool, also our daughter (5) could swim there on here own. All in one, one of our best experiences in our Costa Rica holidays.

This a eco project, run by a farming family that are passionate about the local community and environment. Essential basic chalets and student accomidation around a brilliant kitchen and shared relaxation area. Food excellent. You go to sleep listening to howler monkey's. Do not forget a mosquito net.

This is a hidden gem off the beaten track for those who love animals and nature, enjoy great company, and are interested in sustainability and community. Ernesto and Leslie were wonderful hosts, dedicated and openminded, and also just fun and interesting to spend time anf have a beer with. Ernesto went out of his way to give us a highly insightful tour of his beautiful farm. The community work they do as well as the management of the farm is truly visionary and inspiring. We would have loved to stay longer and are looking forward to coming back one day to our lemon tree!
