The reserve is wonderful. I enjoyed observing the many different animal species, as well as the starry sky, nature, plants, flowers, and fruits. The hosts are very proactive, hardworking, and respectful people. Their beautiful work is admirable, as they are dedicated to reforesting and bringing life to the reserve, which has gone through a huge evolutionary process and becomes more amazing every time. The tasks were enjoyable, and I really liked contributingnwith my partner. Communication was easy, and we were very happy to share with everyone. Infinite thanks! Grettings to Tina and chewbacca

What an amazing experience at the host. A unique place where the time stops. Equipments are rudimentary, no electricity, dry toilet, rustic shower, however, it can really be a great experience to reconnect to more important things. Owners are exceptional people. They always try to make everything the most comfortable as possible, with smile and positive attitude. The food is really good and local. Same with schedules and work, really easy going. They let us choose our own schedules, day off, and type of work. So, in conclusion, nice place in nature, good atmosphere and positive people

Hands-on volunteering, I absolutely loved it! It was the first time I volunteered on a reforestation project, and I loved it, because I felt I was truly making a difference in the world by helping to plant trees and take care of them. Edi and Adilson are very flexible; I learned a lot from them.
The food is very good, Edi cooks wonderfully well; the food is vegan, but Edi took care to buy eggs for me, she buys them from a person who raises chickens, not from farm eggs.
Edi always showed concern whether I was well settled and whether I was enjoying the activities.

Pessoas como Edi e Adi são raras. Conseguem transmitir sua consciência com a natureza de forma didática e apaixonada. Dedicam sua vida a esse paraíso ecológico, que é um verdadeiro suspiro de alívio da natureza. Para aqueles buscando um modo alternativo e sustentável de viver, o Refúgio das Araucárias é esse lugar, uma real experiência roots, e podem ter certeza de que serão muito bem tratados! Termino meu voluntariado com uma nova visão do mundo, melhor e mais sensível ao meio ambiente, guardarei esses dois com muito carinho e com certeza buscarei voltar!

Felipe is the embodiment of the word 'tranquility'. Always willing to help and learn. He carried out a very nice job preparing seedbeds for planting Atlantic Forest species, together with Davi and Raphael from workaway. And he is a physically fit person who also helped with a heavier task, loading logs!! We hope Felipe returns soon and we recommend him to everyone who is waiting for a collaboration in the most diverse tasks!!!
