Escrevo esta avaliação com lágrimas nos olhos, logo após deixar o sítio. Esta foi, de longe, a melhor experiência que tive ao voluntariar. Sebastian foi extremamente solícito e me ajudou com problemas que enfrentei antes de chegar. Durante minha estada na ilha, tive a agradável companhia de Geisa e Alberto, que trouxeram mais cor aos meus dias. A acomodação é excelente, as atividades são moderadas e a troca de trabalho é conduzida com muito respeito e diálogo constante. Este é o voluntariado ideal para viajantes em busca de uma genuína troca cultural. Obrigado por tudo, vocês são incríveis!

Este voluntariado foi tão incrível que voltei o mais rápido possível, e na segunda vez, a experiência conseguiu ser ainda melhor. Sebastian e Geisa são pessoas tão especiais que me senti parte da família. As atividades e horários seguiram sendo acordados com o Alberto de maneira tranquila e eficiente. Se você busca paz, conexão com a natureza e com pessoas boas, imersão na cultura e culinária paraense, além de aprendizado sobre plantio e manejo, este é o lugar! Voltarei assim que puder.

Mi pareja y yo estuvimos en nuestro primer voluntariado con Sebastian y Geisa, y no podíamos haber elegido mejor lugar para empezar. Desde el primer momento en que llegamos nos ayudaron muchísimo a sentirnos cómodos. Cada vez que les preguntábamos algo no sólo respondían nuestras dudas, sino que se tomaban el tiempo de explicar cada detalle. El voluntariado es en una isla paradisíaca poco masificada, llena de personas locales y comida riquísima. El trabajo fue mucho más llevadero gracias a la atmósfera que crearon. ¡Volveríamos mil veces!

Simplesmente perfeito! Tanto que logo voltarei. Os sítios the farm e Ipê são enormes, com diferentes atividades e cheios de potencial, portanto o que não falta é trabalho. Horários e prazos são facilmente conversados e cumpridos. O caseiro Alberto é super tranquilo ao passar as tarefas e aberto a sugestões e iniciativas. Sebastian e Geisa são acessíveis e carinhosos desde o início, tornando a experiência mais especial. Além disso, em Cotijuba, cada espaço, rua, praia, pessoa e árvores tem seu charme. E é no meio da floresta amazônica né! Super recomendo, foi como estar em casa.
