What Worldpackers can expect from us:
A warm and respectful welcome: we like to treat volunteers as new friends, with a light and humane atmosphere.
Accommodation in our "casinha", a small brick and bioconstruction house, with a kitchen and freedom for the volunteer to prepare their own meals.
Moments of coexistence with the family (we are a couple with three children) and cultural exchange — here we speak Portuguese and Spanish (the father is Argentine and Spanish is fluent at home).
A real life experience in the countryside, in a simple, quiet and secluded place.
The site is far from the city, on a dirt road. If the volunteer has a car, it greatly facilitates commuting, but we can help organize when necessary.
For those interested, there is the possibility to live up close to the routine of the organic market on Saturdays, where we participate with breads, naturally leavened pizzas, croissants, liqueurs, ferments and jams, in addition to integration with the local farming community.
