The Experience

We are in a very early stage of our project. Therefore, we need people to help us build it. We will use bioconstruction and regular techniques to build cabins, greenhouses, fences, sheds, bathrooms and any other building. We always aim to make these tasks very enjoyable and productive. We have some constructions using super adobe, cob, timber framing and wood.

My experience at the projectwas really amazing...Bianca is a wonderful host; flexible, funny, generous, warm, and always present and available to help and explain. I really appreciate her patience with my Portuguese! The tasks were interesting and varied, the agreed-upon hours were always respected. I learned a lot about construction techniques, as well as how to use various construction devices and machines. The sitio is beautiful, filled with plants, trees, fruits and flowers. I absolutely recommend this experience and look forward to visiting again! Muito obrigada Bianca <3

One of the best volunteering experiences I'he had. Bianca is the best host, sooo welcoming, friendly, understanding and funny! It felt like home. We had everything we needed: nice place to sleep, food, WiFi and amazing company of Bianca, her family and 3 cutest dogs. We've done a hike, went to the city together and cooked Brazilian food. It was a pleasure to help Bianca around the property and I really hope to come back one day. Definitely recommend to come!

My time at the projectwas just wonderful and I am sooo happy that I got an opportunity to volunteer there. The place is absolutely special and I got to see Brazil from another perspective and fell in love with it completely. The volunteering itself is great, Bianca is so attentive and makes sure you have fun and enjoy. The house we lived in and the area around and just enchanting. I loved this experience and I definitely want to come back when I am in Brazil. Highly recommend!!

The place is wonderful, surrounded by nature and with an excellent location. Our host Bia is a fantastic person with a huge heart, who welcomes us as if we were part of the family, a strong person with a lot of enthusiasm to make the place more and more pleasant and full of life. We are already looking forward to returning and experiencing this energy exchange.
