The Experience

We are taking our first steps at Sítio Agroecológico Caminho da Paz, RJ. We value human existence, creative potential, natural art, minimalism, reusing food and objects, recycling, and self-sustainability. We are moving toward creating an agro-village. A simple environment, with a spring-fed pool, hammocks, affection, hospitality, and life in peace.

I spend wonderful days at Erica's project. We did construction and cleaning tasks, worked with wood and did some paintings. The place is quite and you can sleep outside. The surrounding is very nice to discover by bike or foot, waterfalls and rainforest. Also there is a swimming pool you can use. Erica is a very open-hearted person and makes you feel at home - I can totally recommend this volunteering! :)

It was such a good experience, be able to conect with nature and with my self, meeting a new culture, foreigners and get out from a technological world, where many times we forget that humans beings we are a part of the nature.

Matías, it was a joy to welcome you. 🌿💕

I was very happy to hear that this experience enabled your reconnection with nature, with yourself, and with new cultures. This is exactly the purpose of Vida Plena: to remember that we are part of nature and that it is in it that we also find ourselves again.

Thank you for your presence, for your care, respect, and genuine exchange during your stay. The doors will always be open for you.

Come back anytime! 💞🌺💕

Our time at Projeto Éva was short but filled with joy. Erica made us feel like part of the family from day 1. We were fed well and she was attentive to our needs when it was too hot or when she thought we needed food or water. We had to leave unexpectedly but it was made clear that we are welcome back anytime. The timing of our stay was not ideal for us or the hosts but I believe that under different circumstances our stay would have been fruitful! I highly recommend staying here!! ❤️

My experience at this volunteer was very good and satisfactory. The place is pure nature and you learn a lot about the sustainability. Erika was so nice and helped me and all the volunteers a lot, I had a great time and I learned a lot of Portuguese. Language barrier ain’t a problem here, the locals try to help you and are very nice and Erika takes care of you. I definitely recommend this place if you want to enjoy of the nature and meet kind brazilian guys.

The time I spent volunteering at this project was so perfect. I felt so centred and peaceful afterwards. The work was fun and rewarding, the food was delicious and the people were wonderful. Erica gives so much and is so welcoming and sensitive. Days we weren't working she would take around to see the sights nearby , introducing us to people and letting us sleep in her home. Beautiful time.
