It was an interesting experience, surrounded by nature and animals, the facilities are rustic, but very comfortable. I really liked the company, everyone was very hospitable :)

It was wonderful to have direct contact with nature, to be able to learn about soil.
And to develop my gardening skills. Duarte is a very attentive and straightforward host, his rootsy way of being, but full of wisdom about biodegradable construction.

Good morning, my experience was unique. First time I’m in the forest; it was very satisfactory to help prepare the land, learn about natural resources that we depend on to live, without using chemicals to wash or to clean. To truly feed yourself, something very good .... What I learned and I will keep in my memory forever .. also the laughter of the hosts combined with the forest animals at dawn is very pleasant; relaxed, happy and very strong people. Extreme responsibility and guaranteed. It was and will always be a good experience for any volunteer.

The experience of being in nature is unique. At first I felt a bit overwhelmed by the sense of community and the warmth I received, where I could feel comfortable doing activities I enjoyed the most. I felt safe and increasingly integrated as the days went by. Waking up to the sound of animals and being surrounded by the sounds of nature isn't for everyone, but it's worth giving this opportunity a chance at least once in a lifetime. Duarte is very kind and makes us feel comfortable to collaborate. Thank you for the opportunity!
