Beautiful place!! You will love if you want to get away from the city, revel in nature, but still have a grocery store and thriving town close by to explore. The location is out of town a little ways so planning for the week, grocery or supplies is a must. Hikes and waterfalls are everywhere. The airbnb's we help with are beautifully and thoughtfully designed. Incredible views and interesting nature. Host toured me around and explained the community, also explaining the different pine trees I had never seen before. A great pick if you love nature and love spontaneity. Also knows English!

My experience at the lodge in Urubici was wonderful.
From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with a lot of kindness, affection, and hospitality by Giovana, a kind, attentive and welcoming person who made my stay even more pleasant.
Her pets Max, Jack, Truta, and Nala are very cute.
It's that kind of environment where we can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect.
The tasks are simple and easy and well coordinated; the landscapes of Urubici are incredible.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!! 1000 OUT OF 10 haha.

I loved this volunteering experience, if you want to unwind for a few days, I highly recommend it, because they're only in the mountains, as everything has its good and bad sides, you're literally alone in the mountains, the family is lovely, Gio is very nice and a very good person, Gio took me to explore as much of Urubici as possible, very committed to you falling in love with Urubici, it also has its things, but like any person, I recommend doing this volunteering for 7 to 10 days, afterwards it becomes tedious and repetitive. and at least for me it bored me, wifi is perfect, the room is perfect and the food is perfect.

Volunteering at the lodge was an experience full of learning and adventures! Giovana and her pets (Nala, Trufa, Max and Jack ❤️) welcomed us very well. We had several interesting exchanges with the Host, who even always stayed with us in the tasks, introduced us to the best itineraries of Urubici and even took us for a walk 😍 Oh, in addition to helping make the environments more beautiful, we also had the opportunity to enjoy the hosting experiences at the lodge in the Domo and in the Chalet. We can only thank you for everything 🙏❤️
