If you're into crystals, plant medicine, and all things spiritual, this place is made for you! It's a heart-centered community full of like-minded people living freely in the forest, connected through alternative lifestyles, shamanic practices, and a deep love for nature. Tasks can include helping build Miguel's house or supporting fun events like local festivals. It's definitely a hippie bubble - magical if it's your vibe, but not for everyone. Miguel speaks great English, and you'll also hear Spanish, Portuguese, and even German. I had a greatly inspiring, and an unforgettable time!! 🫶🏻

Cabrum is a beautiful place with beautiful people. I felt welcomed into the community on my first night and throughout my stay was able to build deeper relationships. I enjoyed working on the house, I found it quite meditative and I was able to learn more as long as I asked the right questions. I feel like a have discovered a facet of myself and my spirituality here and I will always be grateful for the time I had here!

This was one of the greatest experiences of my life. This place helped me to learn new skills, helped me to learn more about myself, and allowed to meet wonderful people living in the community, and also the ones visiting. Though, I should warn you that this place might not be for everyone. If you are looking for a comfort or a city life, you should probably consider something else. If you want to spend time in the nature and get away from the distractions of the city, this might just be the place for you. Miguel is a wonderful host, and if you are open minded, you will enjoy your time here.

If you want to reconnect with nature and see beautiful place I recommend it. The river is magical and I enjoyed the place, it is so calm and peaceful, the good was very good and Nigel is respectful and flexible. I enjoyed spending time with him, macking fire in the night and talking about many subject. He share with me his passion for chocolate, medicine and a lot of other things ! I recommend this place to peaupole who want to be lost in the nature and learn more about building eco house with local people (:
