Finca La Flor De Paraiso Charity Profile
La Flor de Paraíso is an agroecological farm-school located in a beautiful natural setting above Orosi valley near Paraíso.
The project offers Spanish lessons in its Alternative Spanish Institute. We encourage international students as well as our regular guests to take part in our voluntary work programs to learn more about such topics as organic farming, reforestation, communal or environmetal issues in Costa Rica. We regularly hold work shops and courses on our farm such as our Sustainable Development Course. La Flor is also a beautiful vacation retreat to escape the big city and day-to-day hectic life.

Working towards Sustainable Development
