Thau is an excellent host and cooks very well; he goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable, very attentive! I appreciate the exchange; it was a very smooth experience, I felt at home, it's a place I would definitely return to, I would recommend it to any volunteer without hesitation!

Great friend Vitório, it's a pity it's over, right? haha. It's a pleasure to be with you these days, great conversations and lots of friendship. I only regret that you left before we could have our coffee... we just roasted it and it turned out sensational! Now there's a good reason to come back, haha. Big hug and take care on this beautiful journey!

Tao is an extremely welcoming person who makes you feel at home as soon as you arrive. As a true Minas Gerais local, he welcomed me with cheese bread (pão de queijo) and a delicious cup of coffee. I felt very comfortable, in touch with nature and with what really matters in life. I highly recommend this experience, and go visit the nearby stream — it’s really beautiful!

Thank you for contributing to our Júlia. You are a wonderful and very collaborative person. In addition to supporting the project with active participation and a cheerful attitude in the activities, you also contribute to improving our natural spaces, showing care and affection for our river. I look forward to sharing another coffee with cheese bread with you and to more outings to the hidden waterfalls in our region. Hugs and see you soon!

My experience at Terra Mana went beyond what I expected. I was very well received by the host and I could learn about the planting and production of coffee, as well as understand in practice how agroforestry works. I also had the opportunity to learn how to handle the machete. Gratitude to Thau for sharing his knowledge with so much dedication. The space is cozy, surrounded by nature, with birds and the guard dogs. I recommend this experience to everyone who seeks a fair and reciprocal exchange. All in line with the platform's proposal.🫱🏿‍🫲🏻🌳

Our great friend Samuel, it was a pleasure to welcome you to the Terramana family and it was also very good to chat with you, sharing your experience and your life story, beautiful and rich in lessons. Another well-built friendship, and I hope your journey always leads you to the best places, and you can always count on us for support, partnership, or at least a coffee with cheese and a good conversation in the heart of the Cerrado. Take care and a big hug!
