About.
We´ll take you on a journey around the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica and experience the campesino rural life and costarican culture. The Nicoya Peninsula is well known worldwide for being a blue zone, a place where people live the longest. Why? Because of its food and pura vida lifestyle! Come and join us on this exciting and life changing permaculture adventure.
By joining our experience you will be supporting the Escuela de la Jungla- Permacultura project, which is sponsored by the 501(c)3 non-profit organization Green Wave
Program.
We´ll take you on a 6 days, 7 nights adventure through the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica and teach you about permaculture, rural campesino life, medicinal plants, edible forests, composting, solar cooking, native seeds, organic agriculture, stingless bees and more! Let rural Costa Rica be your classroom!
