It was a very positive experience for my first volunteering. The work was very well defined and easy to carry out. The house has a very good structure. It is quite easy to coordinate the activities and schedules with Dri, and the organization of the hostel runs very smoothly

The Serra do Cipó is so lovely that I extended my volunteering at the hostel. Dri has become a great friend, a woman I admire a lot and who is willing to help you, she takes me to events, has good vibes. I love Serra and I love the hostel, I can only be grateful for every experience here!

Without a doubt, the hostel was the best volunteering I’ve ever done! The tasks at the hostel are calm, Adriene is the best host I could have found, a completely admirable woman, I felt at home indeed! I managed to freelance in the city with her help, I met the quilombo where I danced samba and forró and I also learned to play the atabaque, all good. I am very grateful for everything I learned here and I hope to come back more times. Dri is a person with a lot of empathy who’s always open to listen and help, there is even no desire to leave 🥹❤️

My experience at the hostel was very special. It is a place with a calm energy, surrounded by nature and with a proposal really aligned with exchange and respect. The routine was organized, the tasks well coordinated, and there was always openness to dialogue. I felt welcomed from the first day, by both the team and the other volunteers. It was an experience that contributed greatly to my personal growth, learning, and connection with people and with nature. Definitely it's a place I would recommend and where I would return.

A Serra do Cipó is a wonderful place, lush nature, abundant water and breathtaking landscapes; it was my second volunteering experience, I highly recommend the hostel and Adriene as facilitators for this experience of connecting with nature. My stay was very calm, the work is light and flexible, there is time to visit many interesting places on foot or by the bicycle that the house provides for our movements. I loved the experience and I plan to return to see more of Serra do Cipó's beauty.

O hostel, is a place of tranquility, surrounded by nature and good energy. Adriene is super friendly, always present and communicative. The tasks, in short, were to be calm, oriented toward: cleaning, maintenance (standard of hospitality). However, I had to leave earlier than planned, because there was a lack of organization, management, predictability (everything was a priority), which I discussed with the host and offered to help resolve. Despite everything, I liked it and I recommend it if you seek peace, to get to know the Cipó culture, climb, (and for those who work remotely).

During my volunteering at the hostel I felt very welcomed and these two weeks were very special! I met wonderful people and felt the power of slowing down in contact with nature. I hope to return to Cipó in the future and I recommend the house to everyone. The work is calm, flexible, and the house is very cozy!

The experience at the hostel was very rewarding! I had contact with nature, local culture, and I had a lot of fun. The Serra do Cipó is beautiful and there is a lot to explore there and around... The working hours are calm and flexible! And Adri is super nice and open to talk! There was also Bela the little dog that lives there and is a sweetheart for anyone who loves dogs. I recommend volunteering! Thanks for having me, Adri! See you!

Very good experience at the hostel. You will feel part of a family and a community. It is a great place to reconnect with nature, Serra do Cipo has many trails, waterfalls to visit and places to climb. Life at the hostel is very peaceful, the work is calm and schedules are very flexible. Dri is very dear and funny, she has many tips to share with us, and she always offers to take us to the outings that are happening with the crowd, meet people, etc. I really enjoyed my experience, and the other volunteer placements made the experience even better. Thanks for everything!

Since this is my first volunteering experience, it couldn't have been better.
The house is quiet, the environment conveys peace, and the accommodations are great — for those who like hiking, waterfalls, and climbing there is plenty of activity to do.
The work has flexible and quite relaxed hours; you just have to think about what you need to do if the house were yours.
I felt completely at ease, as if I were in my own home.
Having other volunteers in the same period was excellent.
Dri provides all kinds of contacts and informal information about outings; the children are very independent, which makes the interactions easy.
I recommend.
