Gorgeous views, great vegetarian food prepared for our group, birdsong, butterflies everywhere, different levels of hiking to fabulous waterfalls. Sleeping accommodations are not uniform,ranging from separate rooms, bunk bed rooms, some individual but mainly shared bathrooms so double check ahead to be sure. The road up and into Finca de Vida is an adventure in itself! 4wheel drive a must.

If you are looking for clean air, perfumed by the flowers of the ylang ylang tree, space to wander around, nibble greens from the garden, look around the growing food forest, grab some bananas from the "banana villa" do some yoga on the covered platform overlooking the valley, you're there. Make your own meal with fruits and veggies provided, (or... More

I had a great time. Brian and Jody went totally out of their way to make sure all our needs were met. I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to get healthier or simply just relaxing. 5 stars. It's also the most affordable place of it's kind in the world!

I'm a tough one to please when it comes to holiday experiences. You can orchestrate just about everything perfectly, but if you make one mistake, I notice. Finca de Vida is about as close to perfection as I've ever experienced. If you shower in the Butterfly Lodge, you can't help open the window that overlooks the nearly 800 foot drop... More

I spent a lovely time at Finca de Vida enjoying the spacious views, yoga deck, amazing delicious food and exploring the gardens. Jody and Brian were exceptionally gracious in hosting me for a class I taught about the 13 global survival plants. I highly recommend Finca de Vida for a preplanned workshop or retreat or simply as a personal vacation... More

Going to Finca De Vida is like being invited into Brian and Jody's private home. I have never felt so welcome and relaxed while being so many miles away from home. My room was very comfortable and met all of needs and exceeded my expectations. I had plenty of healthy food to eat and got the encouragement I needed to... More

Brian and Jodi are wonderful people. I only visited their place a few times but knew that it is a place I MUST go back to. Not only is there breath taking scenery and delicious gourmet raw meals, but the guest that show up there, as well as the staff are worth knowing. I highly recommend it for anyone looking... More
