This volunteer experience was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.From the very beginning, Udsum was incredibly kind, supportive, and always made sure I felt welcome. It was my dream to volunteer on a farm, and this experience completely fulfilled that dream. I learned new farming skills, connected with nature and the animals, and woke up every morning to the beautiful landscapes of Minas Gerais.The place truly needs volunteers, and when you give your heart, it gives so much back.
I arrived with an open mind, happy to do every task, and I left with unforgettable memories. Highly recommend!

If you have the chance to experience this, go for it!

Being a volunteer here is above all about taking care of the animals on a daily basis: cleaning the enclosures, changing their food and water, looking after their well-being and taking part in their routine. These are simple tasks, but they make sense when you are in contact with the animals and nature.

Beyond the missions, it’s really the environment that makes the experience exceptional. It feels like being in a true haven of peace, far from the usual pace, surrounded by nature and the animals

I had a truly spectacular experience, completely surrounded by nature and animals (monkeys, parrots, parakeets, ocelots...) An idyllic environment.
It was wonderful to wake up every morning with the view of the mountains and the songs of the birds and other animals. The tasks are varied and very pleasant to perform. Additionally, Wdson and Samer are very welcoming people and are always willing to help. A highly recommended experience, I'm already looking forward to returning!

An absolutely incredible experience! The mission was to feed the monkeys and take care of the animals, and each day was unique and rewarding.

WDSON and SAMER are wonderful, welcoming, and passionate people. You feel immediately at ease with them.

The environment is stunning and the adventure was simply amazing. Honestly, everything was perfect — I would recommend it 100%.
