The experience with Aline and Claudio was wonderful; they, along with Tupã, Sasa, Pets, and Livia, welcomed me as another member of the family. It was my first volunteering experience, but I felt that it became my home away from home; they always looked after me, ensuring I was comfortable and at ease. I learned a lot, not only about plants, but I also felt immersed in the culture, the language, the food, and the local music. El Dorado is an incredible and beautiful place, a project full of love and respect for nature, and I am glad to have contributed even a little. Thank you for sharing so much with me!”},

The couple (Cláudio and Aline), owners of the farm, welcomed me very warmly!! It was a pleasure to meet them and their pets 😍 I am very grateful that my first volunteering experience was with them, who taught me many things and made me feel really good during the days we spent together; it was very special!

Volunteering with Aline and Cláudio was amazing; they welcomed me and gave me all the experience I was seeking in terms of exchange and learning.
Unfortunately, I ended up getting sick during the volunteering and I feel that I couldn't contribute as much at times; I apologize for that.
But in short, I can only thank you for the wonderful experience, so many conversations and laughs, I learned a lot from both of them.
El Dourado Park is a paradise, the animals are very affectionate and the hosts are incredible people. Thank you for the experience!

Unforgettable! ✨ This was my first experience at Worldpackers and I simply loved it. Aline and Cláudio were amazing with me: besides teaching me about planting, maintenance of green areas and the environment, they connected me with the city's history and took me to see beautiful tourist spots. Living all of this at the farm was transformative. I return with a heart full of lessons and a lot of gratitude for this opportunity! 🤎🌱

I've lived a lot as a traveler and finding hosts who really understand the purpose of volunteering is rare, but Cláudio and Aline really understand. The hospitality is the strong point; in our conversations, in the meals, I felt at home. The tasks are calm, and there is real care to make you feel part. Tupã, Sami, and the kittens leave everything even lighter. I connected with their purpose through the park, the place is perfect to connect with nature and with oneself. The space is enormous to explore. And they still make sure to do tours around the city, an exchange beyond volunteering.

My week-long experience at the ranch was fantastic. Truly enriching. The place is beautiful, well cared for, and the waterfall is marvelous (I recommend future volunteers take a dip in it—it's invigorating haha). Cláudio and Aline are very attentive, polite, and receptive. They were patient and helped me a lot. The activities are very calm and everything is better because the place is beautiful! Even more so the little dogs (Samantha and Tupã) are always there to give you emotional support lol. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity and I would return at a future opportunity! 🙏

Aline, Cláudio, Tupã, Samanta, Lívia and Pets were my family for 11 days. This was my first volunteering, turning into a genuinely special experience. The farm is a beautiful place, full of nature, life and truth. I had the opportunity to get to know the city, cultural sites, the local commerce and people who made me reflect on who I am and what I want for myself. The house is very cozy and I was always treated with kindness and respect by everyone. I wish that future volunteers can contribute and learn from this place.

My first experience as a volunteer and the best one I could have had! Cláudio and Aline are amazing, with a lot to teach about plants, animals, sustainability, and lifestyle. More than hosts, I found friends and a second home.
Tranquil activities explained with patience, food made with love, history-filled walks through Santa Rita, unforgettable animals and a magical place!!
An experience that goes beyond volunteering, with exchanges, learning, self-knowledge, and connection.
I am immensely grateful for you opening the doors of your home and making me feel at home! 🧡

My first volunteer experience could not have been better, I learned a lot from Aline about plants, nature, and shamanism. And I learned a lot from Cláudio about life. They took us to many places to get to know Santa Rita, and I loved being in this city. We had many meaningful conversations, and for me they were significant. They have an amazing community of which I am now a part. I fell in love with the farm, the animals, and them. I am very grateful to them for choosing me; I already miss them.
