Mauro was a fantastic host and my first Worldpackers experience couldn’t have been better. The cabin was simple but comfortable with everything I needed, and the peaceful nights under the stars were beautiful. I loved spending time cooking and talking about food at the nearby retreat and also meeting the wonderful people there; it’s a really special place. The area is stunning and visiting the waterfall was a highlight. Mauro is great company and I enjoyed relaxing with him on the porch in the evenings. His dogs Felix and Luigi are adorable! I’d definitely recommend volunteering here ✨

It was such a cool stay with Mauro!! He showed me super cool spots around his house and teached some pretty good recipes:) The task were absolutely fine and not to much. It was a great time of sharing about our cultures and interests! Thx Mauro for this lovely time🫶

I had the most wonderful stay with Mauro. I spent two weeks and left feeling inspired & refreshed. Mauro is kind, welcoming, and a lot of fun to hang out with. As a solo volunteer, I felt comfortable right away. It was a rainy couple weeks so we spent lots of time inside cooking delicious meals together. The volunteer cabin is very cute and tucked away a bit, making it a peaceful place to rest. The work was varied and rewarding. We planted trees, prepared cuttings, cut wood for a new project, and organized the shed. I am very grateful for this experience 🥰 thank you so much!!

I had an amazing time with Mauro, can't recommend it enough! He is the best host, making you feel at home from the beginning, always good vibes and lots of laughing. He's taking really good care of his land and it was a pleasure to help him a bit on his daily tasks. The cabin you stay in is lovely and the food was so good, if you like to cook/eat it's a paradise. I left with a lot of inspiration and a new friend!

I stayed two weeks, the time flew, it was very fast, it is a great place, Mauro makes it even more pleasant, he is always attentive to each person, he cares about your health and comfort, if you need to rest, he is a great person. Regarding the place, everything is very nice, there is a lot of space, Felix and Luigi are two great dogs, the chores are easy to do, I really liked this place, I think I would come back, it is very quiet, at night you can see many stars, the sunset is like a movie, the sky is divided into 3 colours, there is privacy in the cabin. Mauro is the best!

I don't even know where to start… this was my first worldpackers experience and I absolutely loved it! Mauro is a great host with a lot of knowledge, skills and cooking skills!! ( the food was super healthy, delicious and fresh ❤️) There are two dogs living there too and they're both super lovely, funny and well behaved bois. The tasks were not boring ( we've built a structure to provide shade for the plants), the hours of work were as agreed , Mauro was flexible with everything, I definitely had time for myself to explore the nearby town and area. I've learned a lot and I truly recommend ❤️

This was my first worldpackers experience and I did not know what to expect. However, my partner Kai and I were easily welcomed by Mauro and Marianna and were quickly able to feel at home. It was such a fun experience exchanging cultures and learning about their land. They have cultivated such a beautiful relationship with the land they live on and had so much knowledge to share with us. We only worked a few hours a day and the rest was filled with long conversations, good food, and trips to nearby waterfalls. It was great to see so many of their favorite spots. Obrigado Mauro y Marianna! 💞💞💞

This was my first volunteer experience and it was amazing. The hosts are warmly welcomed me and they were nice. I could learn and experience so many things such as how to make good soil, hand made cosmetics, and Portuguese foods...etc. Also they brought me to many places as well; lake, waterfall, mountain.... But my highlight is definitely the delicious launches!! Their cooking were simple but delicious. If you like cooking and eating, 100 % you will enjoy!! Also I recommend here for those who likes more countryside or interested in cooking/eating:)

It was an amazing experience I would definitely recommend coming here. Mauro and Mariana are lovely people their dogs are also very friendly and cute. The lunches they made us were delicious and different each day. They taught us about plants and explained how to make a few different things with only natural ingredients. The tasks are manageable each day. The cabin is also super cosy and they gave us mosquito nets to put in the room. They were great hosts and were super welcoming and accommodating. Thanks for letting us stay :)

Thank you Mariana and Mauro for having us!! Our tasks were very manageable you are not asked for many hours of work which is very thoughtful especially when it can get hot during the days and even then we were offered to work in the shade. We all eat lunch together and the food is honestly some of the best I've had!! They taught us how to make chickpea tofu which was so fun to learn and really tasty, Mariana also taught us how to make natural cosmetics like lip balm and hydrosol which was really fun to learn and she also taught us about the plants in the garden. One of the best experiences!!
