My experience at the community was truly amazing and enriching. The hosts were very friendly and made me feel safe and welcomed! I had the opportunity to meet a lot of international travelers and volunteers and made a few really good friends. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to live some time away from the society, reconnecting with the nature :)). Obrigada a todos os moradores e habitantes, brigada por esta experiência maravilhosa!

The community is a special place, even through a rainy quiet period there I left feeling so much love for the residents. They've created something beautiful there. The nature and water is healing, the vibes are good and there's a lot to do if you create it.

The community is a beautiful place. I would recommend anyone to come see what they have created over a period of 30+ years. Meals are usually tasty and good. The work is interesting and the location in Chapada Diamantina is perfect. There are usually many interesting people around. That you can learn from and get inspired by.

It was a lot of fun and a very meaningful experience. It's the most beautiful nature I have ever seen in my life, and the people there are very kind and friendly. It's a great place to practice and learn Portuguese, connect with nature, and get to know the local culture. You can learn about the lifestyle of people who live in nature rather than the big city. The atmosphere is amazing, and I highly recommend volunteering there. You'll miss out on many incredible things if you don't do it.

Volunteering at the community was an amazing experience:) The community is living in harmony with each other and the beautiful calm nature around, where I was able to reconnect with myself. You have a lot of magical places to hike and relax around and the vibrant village capaõ is very close. The moment I arrived everyone made sure I feel comfortable and I could really feel the strong community feeling they created, like a family. There was something new to learn everyday about natural soap making, agroforesty, gardening, cooking healthy vegetarian food and how to organize a harmonious community.

I would recommend Communidade the community to any traveller, even if you're only passing through for a few days. Originally, that was my plan. I was supposed to stay for a weekend, which turned into a week, then two, then a month, and I even came back after a month and a half away. They have existed for 33 years, and as soon as you step foot onto the land, you understand why. Communidade the community is full of life, love, and laughter, and I felt so welcomed (even though my Portuguese wasn't very good) amongst a group of people who have made a commitment to living there, living in harmony with nature.

The community da the community is an off-grid village where I could learn by practice living with the nature. There is a house just for the volunteers which feels home, and several common areas to connect to the internet, cook or bath. The community is well structured: daily meals, tasks assignment, working hours ; and at the same time flexible. You will need to adapt to certain things (like using your phone less, being careful of snakes, sometimes accomplishing physically hard tasks, ...), in exchange you will receive a lot of gratitude. By joining the community you will live an unforgettable experience !

The community welcomed me with open arms, calmness and kindness.
Always respecting my rhythms and ensuring that I was enjoying my stay.
The facilities are perfectly adapted to basic amenities yet they preserve the authenticity of bio-construction.
Here I have learned to perform basic tasks of a simple and sustainable life. Such as chopping wood 'without getting hurt', cooking in a wood-fired kitchen, harvesting food from the garden and wild medicinal herbs, understanding the composting processes, and even sewing classes.
Thank you very much 💗

By far one of the best experiences I've ever had, living in the community means learning at every moment from others and teaching in the same measure, and in the Campina community I experienced this exchange a lot; people are very attentive, welcoming and loving. Each activity carried out is explained and the reasons behind it taught. I had many good exchanges with Rodri, Anati, Anete, Thaína, Mel, Piatã, Yan, Tailan, among others who are residents and volunteers. Not forgetting the cuteness of Campina Naya 🥰 grateful for the whole experience and exchanges; I plan to return soon 🙏🏾✨

The a community is a space of resistance to the system, it is the result of actions of people with social consciousness and who understand the importance of sustainability. I was warmly received; all activities were explained and divided with a lot of patience and attention. I had the opportunity to learn to handle and cultivate in the SAFs, collect firewood, help in the kitchen and participate in the renovation of one of the accommodations. A hug to everyone from the community!
