I had a wonderful stay helping care for the animals here. My days involved feeding and looking after parrots, a wallaby, an owl, chickens and more, and every morning felt peaceful and meaningful. The host was welcoming, clear about the tasks, and respectful of my time and space. I learned a lot about animal care and felt like part of the team. If you love animals and are ready for hands-on, early-morning work, I highly recommend this experience. Thank you for having me!

It was my first experience caring for animals, and I enjoyed the time I spent with each of them. There is a wide variety of animals and I was able to learn a little about each one. There is always a lot of work; the animals require time and attention. I met people I will carry in my heart, and I thank the entire team and the volunteers who welcomed me. 😊

It was my first volunteering experience and an incredible one. I highly recommend it for connecting with nature. The animals are very cute. The schedules were respected and the days off as well. I highly recommend it to anyone in the sítio region.

It was my first Worldpackers experience and I really had a great time. I learned a lot and connected with other people in the same situation. Sam and the whole team at the farm were impeccable.
