The place was really far from the beach and thethe ecothethethe the the eco village village villagevillagevillage village thethethe the the eco village village villagevillagevillage village villageand it was not mentionned at all so we had to rent a quad to be able to do other activities. When we arrived, the host showed us only our dorm and went scrolling on her phone for the rest of the day. We felt really lost and scared and we didn't know What we were doing here. The volunteer work was only to water plants so none of the other thing Like social impact work or art was there. We were really disappointed. We didn't felt like part of athe ecothe ecothethethe the the eco village village villagevillagevillage village thethethe the the eco village village villagevillagevillage village villagebecause we were apart from all the rest of the people. They wanted to make money.

I don't understand how this volunteering is still available. I had to leave the place the next day that I arrived. Nothing that it's in the description is true, there is no permaculture talks, no yoga and capoeira everyday, no surf lessons with discount, no dedicated workspace and not even the room and kitchen are clean and safe enough. There was not enough food for all the volunteers even when we paid 10$ In my opinion the "the eco village village-village" project is a completely lie. Two volunteers had to help removing trees for a real state purpose. We didn't feel good destroying the land, is not our values.

Unfortunately we were really disappointed with our stay. We had to stop the volunteering because everything was in a really bad condition. The pictures are not up to date. The food was not sufficient. The schedule which is uploaded is not accurate. There were no educational talks or lessons. The free surf board was broken and not usable. We were not helping any good cause, in fact we had to help removing trees from properties for future clients who are supposed to buy land there. The „the eco village village-Project“ I would say is a big lie, I'm sorry to say it but it doesn't align with my values.
