Ecopousada Vegana Topo do Cipó

Here at Topo do Cipó our aim is to offer volunteers and guests an experience of a closer contact with nature, with themselves and with the collective. We offer 100% plant-based and healthy cuisine and tours, medicines, workshops and other experiences. During the past year we have already welcomed more than 30 volunteers who passed through here, and each one was able to make a beautiful contribution to the guesthouse and to the collective. Now we are in the process of changing the face of the guesthouse and attracting an increasingly diverse audience that is interested in veganism, spirituality, coliving, nonviolent communication, and holistic therapies.

I am very calm, I like to cook and talk. A lifelong Minas Gerais native, I love presenting my culture and my state to people from other places. In Belo Horizonte I have already hosted exchange students from various parts: Mexico, France and India, as well as friends and acquaintances from all over Brazil. I hope to offer a good experience and that there is reciprocity in the relationship. The convivence here at the guesthouse is different from the traditional convivencia between staff and guests, and one of my greatest pleasures is being able to make a guitar circle and a bonfire and bring everyone together.

I'm continuing my trip feeling very happy 😁 My experience was very good, the guesthouse is beautiful, I had a private room and Lean, the host, is always taking the initiative to organize activities and include the volunteers so they can have that true experience as volunteers at the house. I loved having that vegan diet, the food is very tasty and varied, I learned to care for the plants and I also attended one or two events.

It was a great experience at the guesthouse! The schedules are flexible; I had two consecutive days off, the food is wonderful and the room is very comfortable. The location is also excellent, close to the parks and to several amazing places in the region. Thank you very much for the opportunity, the hospitality and for the whole experience! Wishing you success! 🙏🏻✨

Volunteering at the inn was, without a doubt, the best experience of my life. It became my second home, and Leandro, the host, is part of my family. This was my second time there, and it is always indescribable; you have to experience the inn to know how special that place and those people are. The inn is beautiful, the tasks are very calm, and the food at the inn is sensational. I am eternally grateful to Leandro for everything I experienced, the laughs, the trails, the samba, the forró, the capoeira, and the friendships I will carry for life ❤️

A pousada é uma pousada belíssima no alto do vilarejo, com uma vista 360° incrível. As refeições são servidas conforme o combinado, sempre deliciosas e 100% veganas. As tarefas são fáceis no geral, e Leandro, o anfitrião, é uma pessoa com quem sempre se pode conversar e esclarecer termos quando surgem diferenças. A equipe de voluntários é um grupo humano maravilhoso. Com certeza recomendo essa experiência.

Tive uma boa experiência na Serra a pousada, que é um lugar realmente lindo e especial. Consegui fazer passeios incríveis e conheci pessoas bem interessantes. A pousada em si já tem bastante natureza e o cachorrinho Gautama e as 3 gatinhas que deixam os dias bem mais agradáveis. Gostei bastante que fazemos as refeições juntos e agradecemos antes do café da manhã. O ambiente é gostoso e existe muita coisa pra ser feita de trabalho, porém o ritmo é tranquilo. Estávamos a maior parte do tempo em somente 3 voluntários sem funcionários então falta um pouco de organização.

Hi Luana! I wish you had given this feedback about the organization earlier, and not only in the evaluation! Unfortunately we, the hosts, have to deal all the time with volunteers canceling and rescheduling volunteering; I was quite understanding when you had to cancel volunteering the first time, wasn’t I? The fact that you extended and brought your partner to volunteer together made me believe that you were satisfied with the conditions; I suggest improving communication.
