Goals: 1- Implement an agroforestry system in pasture areas and construct a small house at a very low cost using only recycled materials from the region, such as pallets, eucalyptus, clay, and grass. 2- Use the acquired experience to collaboratively develop a bioconstruction model that can be distributed free of charge to the local community. This will allow the community to learn from our mistakes and successes a replicate the acquired knowledge

“Every day you should do at least one thing you've never done before.” When Palmas first shared this life philosophy with me, I doubted it was possible. During the three weeks I volunteered at Sítio the project, he proved me wrong. Every single day I learned something new and I felt deeply connected - to nature, the small community and myself. From agroforestry to sustainable living, everything was truly lived, not just taught. Palmas' care for your well-being, happiness and personal growth is exceptional. This experience became one of the most meaningful moments of my year in South America!

My experience at Sítio the project was incredible and far beyond what I expected. I had a true immersion in rural life: planting araucaria and fruit trees, learning about mountainous terrain, and helping with daily tasks on the land. I also contributed to the audiovisual work, assisting with filming and video editing at a beautiful local waterfall. We cooked our meals at the property, supported local family farming, and I even learned how to make my own yogurt. It was an intense and meaningful experience full of learning. I'm truly grateful to Palmas and wish him all the success on his journey.

At the project you'll be doing exactly as is advertised: bio-construction & farming. I learned a lot about nature, it's cycles, it's way of providing, it's needs. After just two days I learned how to make yoghurt, local cheese, sour cream and sour bread. I lived a lot on terms of nature: got up at sunrise, did the work outside, ate only organic, local products. I had the afternoons off for checking out the surrounding, by foot or by bike. In your free days you can go to the close-by local parcs. All the information given by Palmas. A place for lovers of being outside! Thanks a lot Palmas!

There are loads of things to do, not one day is the same. It's great to tag along to meet the neighbours and enjoy the surrounding nature and the site is beautiful.
