I had a great experience at eco lodge, I managed to extend it to almost a month, beyond what was planned by WP. Emiliano and his family are very receptive people and we talked a lot. It was my first experience in a place with an agroforestry project and I learned some interesting things that I will certainly pass on and use on my backpacking trip. I won't lie, the work is heavy haha. But there are always lighter tasks depending on the conditions of each volunteer. The hours are quite flexible and the time off is long. Emiliano is always open to talking about these possibilities.

I spent a month with the family, I was warmly welcomed, especially by Duda, who spends most of the time around. I contributed in the kitchen area, which is an area I already master. Duda introduced me to many pancs in the community and other cooking tips. I am grateful to Emiliano and his family for the stay, and I hope the project goes really well and that people can learn from the project as well. Hugs ✨

Don't expect luxury, expect peace.
Don't go for comfort, seek experience.
Emiliano is discerning yet understandable; a beautiful family, everything in the place itself is beautiful, I just wouldn't recommend it to everyone due to habit and preparation, I myself wasn't prepared.

But I learned a lot, and they really helped me, I would even go back more prepared (physically and mentally).

Thanks everyone, for everything.

My experience was great! Duda and Emiliano are super welcoming, the chalet was very cozy. I learned a lot about a more sustainable lifestyle where the waste produced returned to composting and improved the quality of the crops. The fruits were varied and delicious.
On arrival I wasn't informed about the difficulty with access, but they did what was possible to get me there safely. The tasks also weren't what I wished for because at the moment they were needing more help with the house activities. I think sorting this out in advance would make things smoother.
Thank you!! <3

I was welcomed by Emiliano and his family for two weeks at the eco lodge, where I was the only volunteer guest,that was a factor I believe capable of changing the experience there. Stay in a room alone and with an incredible view.
The work there is in general demanding, and both the accommodations and the resources offered are SIMPLE, but Emiliano does not spare efforts to guarantee your best stay contanto que VOCÊ COMUNIQUE. Existem sim dificuldades em ficar no alto da serra, assim como existem experiências maravilhosas para se viver, então pondere bem e garanta uma boa experiência.

Emiliano and Duda are lovely, attentive people and always strive to provide a good experience. The place is beautiful, with many fruit trees and surrounded by enchanting mountains. The room has clean and fragrant sheets. Definitely, it's a place I would recommend to my friends to visit.

Emiliano is incredibly nice and friendly; he makes sure you are welcomed in the best possible way. His garden and his house are breathtaking; it’s a magnificent place. I highly recommend it. I’m grateful to him and to his entire family for this moment of spiritual peace.

Estar com Emiliano, Duda e Kaya, foi realmente muito prazeroso. Encontrei ali exatamente o que precisava, conexão comigo mesmo, imersão na natureza, interação social leve e saudável com essa linda família que me acolheu muito bem. Comida simples na variedade, mas com muito sabor, sempre preparada na hora e o mais importante, com muita amor, esse é o melhor ingrediente. Sobre o voluntariado, tudo foi esclarecido prontamente e as tarefas, apesar de muitas, foram bem divididas e acredito que pude executar com eficiência, espero que o Emi tenha aprovado, espero voltar a esse visu 360° é nóix
