Building and agroforestry in the High Mantiqueira!
The experience
For more than 15 years we have been connected to this piece of mountainous land high up in the Mantiqueira Range, in the Visconde de Mauá tourist region.
Where there used to be an old pasture and only one limão cravo tree, today we have many native fruits and PANCs, as well as Andean crops that have adapted well to this climate.
We have 5 rooms in total, where we welcome volunteers and guests.
The tasks are quite varied: building, planting, and keeping life thriving.
