It was a beautiful experience, the place is surrounded by nature and we met many interesting people from different parts of the world. I participated in the completion of the bathroom in the campsite with adobo, and completed the covering of the wall of the Cabana, helped in the finishing of the windows, built a new composter, restored the greenhouse, planted plants and seeds. Very nice lessons on the cnv taught by Victor. Gratitude for this experience 🙏🏻

I spent three weeks at the project and it has been such a great time! The people I met, both the hosts and the other volunteers were lovely! I really enjoyed the tasks, that were always shared and never imposed. I had opportunities and space to work in an independent way to the projects I was assigned to and it made me feel really appreciated, but in the same way I had lots of opportunities to work and have a good time with other volunteers. The accomodation in the camping area was fine, and the funny time spent at the cabana with the other volunteers was the icing on the cake! ❤️

I had a wonderful time at the Vila ! Victor and Tais , but also the team are really nice. They speak English very well so it's easy to have a real conversation. The tasks weren't difficult at all, even if you don't know how to do it, they will always explain it to you ! I felt really confortable there, everything is so well organised , it's one of the thing I most appreciate. Thank you so much for everything you've done for us 😁

This was an incredible experience even in the Brazilian winter (that isn't really one). Victor and the whole team are so nice and understanding, they made me feel very confortable. I liked the fact that everything was organised and clear, they were no surprises. I did many different things and learn't so much, I was never bored. This week really allowed me to reconnect with nature and empty my mind. Thank you for everything, I will never forget this experience.

Victor and the team at the project were some of the kindest, down to earth people I have had the privilege to meet during my travels. A truly unique, character-building, fun experience where you will learn lots about sustainability, bio-construction and environmentally friendly practice! The work can be physically tough but very rewarding. The project does an amazing job with its volunteers and gives them freedom to look after themselves and the space which I truly appreciated. Thank you Vila! I can recommend this to anyone looking to get in touch with nature and be educated.

My partner and I spent two weeks at the project, and we had the best time. Victor, Cate and Isa were so lovely and we really enjoyed our time with them. We learnt a lot about bio construction and sustainable living. When travelling, you are constantly moving around, so it was so great to just slow down and immerse ourselves in nature and a different lifestyle for a couple of weeks. We couldn't have asked for better hosts and we would highly recommend this experience! Thank you Victor and the team for making our time at Vila so special. Best wishes for the future, you will be missed! X

I felt welcomed from the first moment and now I look at everybody in the team as friends and family. I would totally recommend this experience for everyone as the work is really varied, and you can learn a lot! A lot of volunteers come and go, mostly from Brazil itself, but also many from outside of Brazil. You can meet a lot of friendly, lovely people here. You will also learn portugese, and be immersed in the local culture, nature. Obrigado the project!

I loved this experience!! The hosts and other travellers there were so so nice and I felt very welcome<3 The work was fun and used only natural materials which helped me learn about bioconstruction and the benefits of it:) The food was also super good !! The only negative was that it was way colder than I was expecting but I didn't do my research beforehand, I wish I had brought some warmer clothes ! Otherwise everything was good, I loved it !!

The project is an amazing place to connect with nature, people and yourself. Victor, Thais and the entire team were so welcoming, warm and open that Camilo and I felt like home in an instant. The tent we slept in was super comfortable, the nature healing, the food delicious, and the atmosphere peaceful. We loved working together in a team on many different tasks, for example bio-construction which was something completely new to us. The days had a flexible and fair structure with room for fun group activities or self-care. We will definitely miss our time here and hope to be back soon!
