I am super grateful for this experience. I spent an amazing time in the nature, helped in the garden, making chocolates and paçoca power and with ordinary house tasks. João is a very good father and super nice and welcoming person!
I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to peacefully reconnect with nature for a while, learn about Brazilian fruits and plants and see beautiful sea and waterfalls. GRATIDÃO :)

First of all João is an amazing person. During my short stay I learned a lot from him about life, plants and construction. It's a pleasure to spend time with him and talk about anything and everything. His home in Praia do Estaleiro is in my opinion a perfect place for those who want to experience remote life in a beautiful jungle, while still having a comfy bed, electricity, water and (fast!) WiFi and bigger town in close proximity. There are super friendly 2 cats and a dog. I wish I brought more repellent though and came in a better season. Nonetheless it was a wonderful experience.

The stay at João's house was really interesting and meaningful, but also relaxing. I stayed for a week and helped out with tasks in the house, some in the garden and we went to the market together. He has a really big piece of land with beautiful jungle nature, and it's next to the beach!! The house (which he build) is made out of natural materials and made me think of a tree house, super cool. I learned about plants and sustainability, and it was a week to take good care of my body and health. I had a lot of free time to go chill on the beach or explore the nature.

Amazing experience volunteering with João for 10 days! João has a lot of knowledge about permaculture, agriculture, and DIY (he basically built his own house). I learned a lot about the native plants of the Mata Atlântica, the fruits and roots that he grows, and how to plant, harvest, and consume them. The food was amazing – healthy and varied! I also learned a lot about the local communities that live in Ubatuba. I helped out with a variety of tasks, and João was always very flexible about what I could do to help. Take good hiking/working boots, mosquito repellent, jeans, and long sleeves.

100% recommended for anyone who wants to connect with nature; it's a very nice and cozy space near the beach. João is a very attentive and calm host with whom you can talk about very interesting topics and who enjoys sharing his knowledge about cacao and healthy eating. Also a good yoga teacher. His kids are very funny. Always grateful!
