Projeto MAARA

As we follow the Permaculture principles, our goal is to learn together, share our experience, produce food and enrich the biodiversity of the land. We invite people from all over the world to join us and have a real hands-on experience in agroforestry, organic farming, bioconstruction and other sustainable practices. Also, it is a way to stay away from the hectic world, live in an international community and reconnect with nature.
The Projeto MAARA eco farm covers 30 hectares and is situated in the beautiful mountains of the Atlantic rainforest, close to the Três Picos National Park, in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro. The place is very quiet, peaceful and safe.

We are a young family that, in the beginning of 2020, left the city life behind to start a green self-experiment in a countryside in Brazil. This opportunity we also want to offer to our volunteers - to learn from the nature and each other, discover their own strengths and weaknesses and align them without outer pressure. Our volunteers are treated with respect and care, always seeking exchange and communication. We have created an inviting environment where we all can learn together. We offer two different volunteering programs and are open to special requests. Please check out the possibilities and conditions on our website www.projetomaara.com and enter in contact. We are looking forward to make this world a little better together!

Disfrutamos muchísimo de la naturaleza y el trabajo agroflorestal y en el huerto fue muy enriquecedor y agradable.
La qualidad y el cuidado puesto en las comidas es óptimo y el trato con las personas aún mejor!!!
Vamos, que la experiencia fue muy rica y recomendamos el projeto Maara a toda la comunidad world packers!

The experience in the Maara Project has been amazing. We have been able to enjoy the passion of Robert and Dace leading the Agrofloresta project and the garden as well as the community with the other volunteers. If you want to connect with nature and with people who live in harmony their mission and values, Maara is your project. At the end of each working day you will have a smile of satisfaction in your face and an open heart.

Eu fiquei no Projeto Maara durante uma semana, mas se pudesse, teria ficado o dobro. Eu adorei, foi a minha primeira experiência como voluntariado e fiquei muito confortável. Dace e Robert são extremamente simpáticos e acolhedores, a vibe do local é muito boa e o lugar sensacional, a vista é inspiradora.

Em um mundo que está de cabeça pra baixo, se torna no mínimo especial quando encontramos um lugar e pessoas que estão realmente dispostas a compartilhar amor em cada pedacinho de manifestação. Cheguei aqui sem expectativas, com praticamente zero conhecimento e pronta pra me conectar com o que estivesse aberto pra conexão. Tendo como objetivo o autoconhecimento, foi e está sendo um profundo estudo interno, que se manifesta livremente por meio de pessoas únicas que buscam com esforço e ao mesmo tempo leveza, a harmonia, o bem estar, o respeito e o amor com a natureza e todos os seres. Amor.
