Volunteering at the farm was a wonderful experience! A super welcoming and tranquil environment that makes the hustle and bustle of the city fade away completely under Paraty's starry sky! Carol is an amazing woman; she gave us great tips to get to know the place and took us to a beautiful beach ♥︎ We were very happy to have the opportunity to live this period and meet Carol and her farm.

We love spending this time in the company of Carol, her friends, the lantern, and all of her cats. It was a very calm time, with balanced and very peaceful activities; I ended up discovering that it's a great pastime to rake the leaves, especially in the soil. The sky seen there isn't easy to come by; it's really a beautiful place and very well cared for! :D

The site is a very special place, with a unique energy. Each corner is cozy and beautiful, surrounded by nature. In addition, Paraty is exuberant, charming and full of history! We did a bit of everything at the site, mosaics with tiles, water collection, cleaning the spaces… It was very good to learn new things and break out of the routine of cleaning/reception at most volunteer programs. We were very well accommodated in one of the cabins. Carol is an admirable and inspiring woman, very nice and flexible regarding schedules! Thank you for the exchange ❤️☺️🙏🏼

Volunteering at Maria Bonita's farm was exactly what we were looking for and wanted. Although it involves lodging, the vibe is totally different from Hostel, which is where we were and wanted to move away from, to stay more private and work on things beyond reception/cleaning. And volunteering at the site made that possible, doing work to improve the space, tasks that involved useful knowledge for life. Plus we were very well accommodated in a cabin, with more space and privacy ☺️🙏❤️

My first volunteering experience was at the site, and I certainly had a wonderful experience. All the people I came into contact with, especially Carol, contributed to me gaining incredible learnings that I will carry with great fondness throughout my journey. If you want to have meaningful encounters and feel welcomed, this is the place!
