sorry Punta Mona is not a not a demonstration of permaculture but rather a botanical collection. I have not heard good things from those who have chosen to intern there.

Rancho Matastal, on the other hand receives rave reviews from everyone who participates in their program.

Rancho Margot I have not heard of, so can't comment.

The permaculture institute has been hosting Permaculture Design courses in Costa Rica for the past 11 years. This year we have completed a course at Longo Mai, a refugee village for Salvadorans, and indigenous groups, they have a wonderful volunteer program. We will be giving a course in Monte Verde this May - www.permaculture.org.

Rancho Margot near Arenal, in CR.
They have a good array of permaculture and appropriate technology inventions
to support a community, resort, restaurant and dormitory for WWOOFers,
students and lower income travelers. It is truly gorgeous there. There were
several WWOOFers when I was there and I fell in love with the place. The hot
water is heated through the compost bins, there is a beautiful river and
swimming area with a large diverted swimming area with compost heated water.
There are local people employed teaching sustainable technologies to the
students who come.

Hi Alan,

I have never been to this place, but I have had students who went to Rancho
Matatal, and had a great time. They seem very well organized, and have great
green building skills. In Costa Rica.

Bocas del Toro in Panama had a permaculture project, but i have not heard of
it in a whie and forgot the name of the place

Punta Mono is another place that is well known for its fruit selection, on
the Atlantic side of Costa Rica.

Good luck!

Christopher

Hi, how you faring there in Nashville? The Ph.D. Title is very
impressive.
Seriously with a shade of sarcasm. I've been in the field getting
experience and inflicting good deeds going on 50 years now. No
titles,
yet.
Ever since as an infant and crawled through the hedgerow in Africa
and grocked into observationland.
The hairs on the back of my neck raise up when I hear subjective
terms like "high quality" and "good". However, I lend my moral
support with
the
benefit of the doubt. Best wishes and health to your efforts.

Dear fellow designers and like-minded folks,

We have a couple of students that are planning travel to Panama
and
Costa
Rica, and we would like to direct them to some high-quality
Permaculture
farms and/or projects where they can get some good hands-on experience.

Please reply with some links or contact details if you know of any.

Thank you!
