It was a nice experience in the mountains with the volunteers it's a beautiful place. We could get to know the local workers and share good times with them. Pedro and Giulia were also nice to us. There is a point I think volunteers should take in consideration, is that there's only basic items for food offered (rice, beans, pasta, sugar, coffee plus the greens on the farm)so you will have to buy food in the market.

The farm is an amazing place in the mountains around Teresópolis. Pedro and Giulia are sweet and interesting people, always ready for a chat and a joke. The farm offers plenty of work to do but with no pressure... actually I had so much time to relax, read and nap. There are cats dogs and chickens that will always beg for food with no shame. A memorable real carioca experience, recommended for travellers wanting to stay out of the city or people interested in agroecology.

Pedro and Giulia are kind, welcoming, and very attentive to volunteers needs. Pedro has the skill to explains everything really well :) They offer the chance to experience different aspects of life on the sitio and to take part in a variety of activities, which makes the stay really enriching. The view over the sitio is amazing — you can watch both the sunrise and sunset over the mountain peaks. An unforgettable experience.

We learned a lot about organic and sustainable farming staying at the farm and Pedro and Guilia were always open for questions. The work was nice, surrounded by beautiful nature. It's a very quiet place and spending a lot of the time alone made you think about a lot of things. Learning about the vision and the goal for this project felt truly inspiring and made being part of it feel more special :)

My experience was very enriching. It's a remote place, ideal for connecting with the land and nature. It was my first volunteering experience at a place like this, and I loved it. Pedro and Giulia, the hosts, are very attentive and communicate very well with the volunteers. The tasks include pokan harvest, planting vegetables and weeding, essential in organic farming without agrochemicals. I loved the company of the three dogs, the dog Seu Madruga, and the two cats. Anderson, an employee, is extremely polite and teaches you everything. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn about organic farming.

The experience at the site was rich, I learned a lot about all the stages of the organic production process, management in agroforestry and distillation of essential oils.
The exchanges with everyone at the site are very good; Pedro and Giulia are always willing to explain everything about each activity we are doing and its importance in cultivation
My first experience at worldpackers was very beautiful in the mountains of Teresópolis

The site offers a unique experience with epic views of the region. Pedro and Giulia always take the time to explain the processes and the philosophy behind what they do, I had a very nice learning experience 'on the farm'. The region is very beautiful, there is a wizard who says there are many trails around…
