I had such a wonderful experience staying at this pousada with Carlos and Helena. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel like part of the family. Their kindness, generosity, and genuine care created such a welcoming atmosphere that I immediately felt at home.
The food was another highlight of my stay. The breakfasts were always delicious, and the lunches were equally amazing, prepared with so much care and love.
Carlos and Helena truly care about their guests and volunteers, and it shows in everything they do. The environment is full of warmth, respect, and positive energy.

My volunteering experience was very special! I am very grateful to Helena and Carlos for welcoming me so well and for all the affection during this period. The tasks were light and calm, which allowed me to enjoy my free time a lot and get to know Paraty better. It was a very pleasant experience. I carry with me fond memories, lessons learned and a lot of gratitude for having lived this experience.✨

How lucky we are to have such a good experience right at our first volunteering on the platform. It was a sensational experience to volunteer at the guesthouse with Helena and Carlos. They are two very welcoming hosts and good people! Right from our first day, still shy, we felt good and we really seemed like a family gathering for a Sunday lunch. Laughter and good conversations were part of every meal. It was very nice to get to know the routine of a guesthouse and to exchange experiences and conversations with people so distant from my reality. I leave very happy and with great stories to tell. :)

Helena and Carlos were incredible hosts, always very kind and attentive to me, to my boyfriend, and to all the volunteers. It is possible to notice the affection and care in every detail of the inn.
As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed with a delicious lunch, shared at the same table with the hosts and volunteers from different places in the world.
This moment truly made me feel like family. It was a very warm and special experience, which left me eager to return someday and, above all, motivated me to do more volunteering. I recommend this experience wholeheartedly!

Helena and Carlos are truly exceptional hosts, they are very caring, welcoming and amazing people. The food they prepare is delicious and they are always attentive to the volunteer's needs, a comfortable, recommendable stay filled with affection and good moments. The location of the inn is very good and the space is comfortable, but by far the best is the atmosphere, really a warm home. I carry this experience in my soul and heart, I will miss them a lot, thank you for opening your doors! I miss you all and Paraty. 🌻💖

Staying at the guesthouse with Helena and Carlos is a very beautiful experience. They are a family with a huge heart, very kind and funny, and they include the volunteers in meals with the family, which makes me feel at home. They respect schedules, are flexible, have very good communication and a lot of empathy. We have fun learning the language with each other, and besides that they are a couple who loves to cook delicious meals. I recommend this experience with people of great heart. Thank you Helena and Carlos!!

Mary is like a daughter; she helped me a lot, very dear, kind, and full of life, and the doors are always open to you.
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
