Help keep forest trails and a native-plant garden in shape at a small cloud-forest lodge.

About this opportunity

A ten-cabin eco-lodge on the edge of a cloud forest reserve. Volunteers work alongside the groundskeeper on trail upkeep, composting, the native-plant nursery and the rainwater system. The lodge runs guided night walks for guests, which volunteers can join. Rainy-season weeks are wet and muddy: bring good boots.
