Program Details

We offer a bed in a dormitory or in a tent.

Also three meals and a good community. Conversations and laughter are the order of the day.

If you want a beer or something special, it would be a personal expense.

Here we have motorcycles and a pickup truck so we can always coordinate to go out (you won't be stuck on the farm).

It's important to know that here you won't live a material luxury! There are four types of insects that bite (long sleeves are recommended). Some mattresses are old (and others are new). There is no hot water to shower. But instead there are three rivers and seven waterfalls, there are butterflies and dragonflies always present, fireflies that light your path at night... the nature here is incredible.


Activities & Shift

Possible tasks: mix cement and haul it; replace roof sheets; haul stones; repair doors; sand and varnish wood; install a dry toilet.

Unless you are very capable and eager to work independently, you will be part of the team. But if you really see a project that makes sense and you know how to do it by yourself and you want to do it... we won't stop you haha

You can choose your 2 days off. Saturday and Sunday are recommended, but as you like.


Rules

Don't pollute the jungle. Do not burn plastics.
