I spent two very good weeks in the community! Ananda and Bethania are really nice and welcoming, and the environment is lovely. Definitely would recommend.

We enjoyed our stay here! Unfortunately we had bad weather which make the stay uncomfortable in the beginning. Ananada is quite relaxed with how much work you do which is cool, but it meant we didn't have much to do at times (especially as the weather wasn't good). We loved using the Kayaks and we went on a plankton tour which was amazing as well. We also liked working with the bamboo and helping create the space. Wear socks at night! We left with so many itchy bites. It is all very outdoors (only shelter is the kitchen + your tent)

My experience at Comuna Floresta was amazing. This experience has not much in common with actual work, but mostly with sharing time, days, meals and exchanging knowledge with each person there. Ananda and other volunteers made it feel like home. He also took me on many boat trips with tourist where I would assist him. He also shared a lot of knowledge about permaculture and eco tourism. Sometimes children of one of the volunteer would come and visit which made it even more wholesome as there are so adorable. Playing with them and sharing the time all together made it feel like a family.

For great adventures around Paraty Ananda is the man! He introduced me to great people, took me to collect rare berries and we rowed through the only tropic Fjord in the world. We had some heavy rains that took out the power and the accomodation was basic and a work in progress but it was a great experience I recommend to anyone who wants to get the know the area and do cool tours and activities.

Ananda is really a great person with a very nice soul, is extremely kind and sharing. His idea to build an eco village in Paraty is a beautiful project and it really shows that is ready to da lot to make is dream of leaving in a more ecological way come true. He's a trip guide in Paraty and he gave me the opportunity to come with him to all the trip that he had organized, that was fantastic. The only thing is that when I applied to this experience I thought that I would stay in the eco villa of Paraty but it's not finished and I stayed at Ananda house. Except that it was a beautiful.

I came to Paraty mirim and wasn't provided with promised accomodation. The host offered me to stay at his friends' houses and I felt uncomfortable. The tours were included, but that's it

Was a beautiful experience. Connection with nature and learning about sustainability was really present and something that everyone should experience and learn from. There were few people in the community but we had quality time together. There are beautiful beaches, lakes and waterfalls to go to in the free time that are at easy reach. The hygiene from the tents could be a bit better, as in maybe take your own bedsheets or wash them before using them. Would totally recommend this experience to anyone !

It was a great experience I had at the community. I met amazing people from different places, I had a real connection with nature, I ate really good vegan food, the hosts are amazing too and are on hand for any help you need. I really recommend this experience to anyone who needs to reconnect with nature and themselves.

I felt at home, welcomed, and in harmony while working together with the comunafloresta community. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to Bethania and Ananda who run the place with a big heart and love. ❤️
