We loved staying at Karla's and Luiz's place. They were very welcoming, kind and caring, making sure we always had what we needed. Karla's cooking is amazing and it was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the Brazilian cooking :) the place they have created is beautiful and we felt very lucky to have been able to experience that. The nature around is amazing and staing there felt very calming and recharging. We hope to be back soon!

We had an amazing time at Karla's and Luiz's place! The place they have created is truly magical and inspiring, we really loved staying there, spending time in nature, helping in the kitchen and connecting with the people who were there. The work in the kitchen is very nice, we always felt the energy was very positive and everything is done with care and love. The food that Karla is making is really amazing and it can be a nice chance to learn about Brazilian kitchen. Both Luiz and Karla are so kind and caring, they always made sure we felt at home and had what we need. Hope to be back soon!

My experience at the eco lodge was very positive. The place is beautiful, extremely quiet, and the eco lodge valley is well worth getting to know. Karla and Luiz are great hosts, always concerned with the best experience that the volunteers can have. The staff are very kind and helpful. The exchange is fair, with hours and duties well defined. I highly recommend.

A Karla, Luiz and the staff became my family. I spent almost a month at the eco lodge; in the first days, I helped with the preparation of dinners for the guests and, later, I took on small tasks in the garden and other miscellaneous jobs, as needed. In addition to the volunteer experience, the eco lodge is a place of self-discovery and tranquility. I am very grateful for this opportunity and hope to return.

Words will be insufficient to describe the experiences I lived in this place. There were so many learnings, self-observation, healing, introspection, exchanges, not only with the people who make the space what it is but with all those who have passed through the countless retreats that I had the opportunity to help bring about."

My first volunteering experience couldn't have been anywhere else. the eco lodge is a magical place, where I could connect with nature, the silence, and experience a deep journey of self-discovery. From the first day I felt at home. Luiz and Karla are warm, welcoming people, open to dialogue and always willing to help. The work is calm and organized. During the retreats I met incredible people and shared special moments with the volunteers. I carry with me the lessons, the connections, and every person who crossed my path, kept in my memory and in my heart.

The journey to the eco lodge was simply amazing. The valley carries a raw beauty and a rare, sacred energy. We spent days of deep connection with nature and the authentic experience of being in a remote place, where time slows down. The climbs are challenging, but each step is rewarded by the landscape. Karla and Luiz were welcoming and generous, and the work flowed harmoniously. Karla's cooking was one of the high points of the trip. I wholeheartedly recommend this transformative experience.

I loved the experience of living at the eco lodge! Karla and Luís built their own definition of a calm paradise — and it's a charm. I'm already missing the starry sky. The place is stunning, lush nature and a beautiful way of life that teaches by doing. During Carnival, the pace in the kitchen was intense, but part of the experience and worth every second. Karla's cooking is a show on its own, as is her charisma and affection! I hope to return someday; until then, a big hug ❤️🌠

My experience at the eco lodge was wonderful and will be kept with a lot of affection in my heart. Karla and Luiz are enlightened, generous, and full of wisdom. They also indicated special places in the region, which made the experience even richer and more magical. It is a place that has a unique energy, difficult even to put into words. Everything happened as agreed, with respect and organization, but above all with a lot of love involved in every gesture. I am deeply grateful for this experience and I recommend it with my eyes closed.

An amazing place, I simply loved the experience!
The hosts, Karla and Luis, are incredibly organized, attentive, and very dedicated. The environment is calm, pleasant, and harmonious.
There is a genuine care for the environment, something that touched me deeply. The tasks are well distributed among the volunteers, promoting collaboration and ease in daily life. I also had the chance to try different recipes, prepared with a lot of care.
It was an enriching experience in every sense. I recommend to everyone that they allow themselves to live and enjoy the story and energy of this paradise.
I am grateful!!
