It was my first volunteer experience and I loved it, Bonete is really a paradise on earth, the place is incredibly beautiful and the hostel is located less than 40 seconds away from the beach. The team made me feel really welcomed and the owners Ju and Caio are really nice people. If you want to connect with nature it's the place for you.

My time at the hostel was very meaningful. I found a place of connection, warmth, and exchanges that I will carry with me. Ju is a strong woman worth admiring. As I had more rainy days, when a sunny opportunity arose, she had that look of understanding that I also wanted to enjoy a bit of Bonete and she provided that for me; when I became ill, she cared, sought help, and respected my time. It was an experience of a lot of exchange, conversations, learnings, and moments that I will carry with me. I am very grateful to have lived this stage at the hostel and I certainly hope to return someday.

Bonete, by itself, is already a paradise, but getting to know it through Mangará made it feel like home. This was my second stay at the hostel (longer) and even more meaningful. I am very grateful to those who walked with me on this second journey, for the stories shared, tears, laughs, and talks. A special thanks to Ju, who welcomed me and opened the doors not only of the hostel but also of her life. I carry you with great affection in my memories and in my heart. Without a doubt, I recommend this experience to new volunteers <3

I really enjoyed volunteering! The experience I had at the hostel was really very good and welcoming. Juliana receives volunteers as if they were part of her family, and that is a very important point for travelers, it makes us feel literally at home. I liked it so much that I even stayed longer than planned, lol. I recommend this experience for anyone who is new to volunteering as well as for those who have been traveling for a while and are looking for a place to truly connect with nature.

The hostel is a great place for anyone who wants to participate in a super relaxed volunteering experience, near the sea and nature. The team is very friendly, attentive, respectful, and fun. Definitely an experience I would recommend to others.
