Our jungle hostel is a newly opened hostel near Puerto Jimenez, on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. Built on 25 acres of secondary forest by Kyle and Brian of San Francisco, California, Clevante is an off-grid hostel and organic farm, whose aim is to integrate the diversity of a hostel atmosphere with sustainable living/learning in the ecologically distinct environment of the Osa Peninsula.
Volunteer work at the Hostel includes everything from gardening, farming, livestock care and building to administrative tasks such as bar-tending, reception and general laundry and housecleaning.
Volunteers will sleep in either the hostel dorms, which are bamboo cabana's with bunk beds, or when the hostel is full, tents or hammocks are recommended.
We ask volunteers to contribute $5/day for food because food prices are so high here on the Osa. Three delicious meals are provided per day, you get drinks from the bar at cost, and volunteers get one day per week free to explore the peninsula.

We are completely full for June but have some space available July and beyond! Pura Vida!

Our place which in Spanish means a seed planted by a gardener, is a 12 acre river side farm. I have 3 acres of mixed coffee and chocolate growing in the shade of wood and fruit trees. The coffee and chocolate are processed on the farm. There is always food growing in the gardens and tender greens growing under cover. We have a solar dryer for drying coffee, chocolate, fruit and power bars. There are trails winding through hardwood trees, regeneration forests and along the river front. There is also a natural spring fed swimming pool.

Your living space is in the main house where you will have a private bedroom and a shared kitchen. I keep the kitchen stocked with basic food supplies (eggs, rice, beans, lentils, flour, oats, cooking oil).
