Our hut in Rio Muchacho : one night - 60 bucks

This is a place for volontary work in an ecologic farm, also providing instruction for rural kids ... You can do a lot in this farm : if you stay a long time, you will work as a farmer, and you will pay a descent price for living and eating every day.
But, if you decide to make only a 2 or 3 days tour... It's a bout 30 USD a day and even if you have a nice time, this is not worth the price you pay

Rio Muchacho, c'est une ferme ecologique qui dispose egalement d'une ecole pour les enfants des paysans du coin... Il y a pas mal de choses a faire si on veut retourner a la vie rurale, pour un prix modeste. Ce qui n'est pas le cas lorsqu'on ne fait qu'y passer et que l'on depense 30 USD par jour par personne...

Unique Suggestions: Don't do the 2 or 3 days tour.
It's maybe because we are French and then the life in a farm is for us more accessible, but we don't know why we should pay to do a "work" or "activities" that is an everyday work in french farms and whose specificities are only based on the particular environment.
We had the very deep feeling of being unuseful and unwanted (except for the "money" part).

Ne vous engagez pas pour une excursion de deux ou trois jours. Peut-etre n'est-ce que notre vision de francais plus habitues aux terrains agricoles (et encore), mais payez autant pour participer (si peu) a un environnement comme un touriste aiderait le barman du Club Med a faire des tequilas... On se sent pas tres utile, mais plutot "vaches a lait".

Fun Alternatives: Volunteering for a long time, why not, if farmlife is your hobby : but touring there is too much expensive for what it really is.

Si vous y allez, soyez volontaires pour au moins deux semaines : mais, c'est pas la peine de tenter l'aventure tres temporaire
