Os dias na Floresta Encantada foram incríveis! Fomos recebidas com muito carinho pela Andréa, que cuida de cada detalhe com muita beleza e sensibilidade. A comida vegana preparada por ela era simplesmente deliciosa, e suas pílulas de sabedoria alimentavam também a alma. O lugar é cercado por uma natureza exuberante, com cachoeiras belíssimas que pude aproveitar muito. O trabalho foi exatamente como havia sido combinado, e cuidar das mudinhas foi uma experiência muito gostosa, um momento de conexão com a terra e com a natureza. Foi uma vivência muito especial!

Foram 10 dias na Floresta Encantada. Fui muito bem recebida e acolhida. Agradeço à Andrea, ao Felipe e à Raissa. Foram muito gentis. O trabalho voluntário foi super tranquilo no viveiro e o lugar é simplesmente maravilhoso!! As cachoeiras só para nós, sem multidão e o Bartô é uma fofura! A comida vegana da Andrea é deliciosa! (Comemos ovos tbm). A casa é simples, mas aconchegante. Recomendo demais para quem quer contato com a natureza, colaborar com o the reserve no manejo de mais de 20 mil mudas e se conscientizar de uma alimentação mais saudável. Preserve a Floresta!

Bom dia 🌞 Mon séjour dans la forêt d'Uaimii fût INCROYABLE ! Andréa est une hôte chaleureuse, aimante et agréable. Et sa cuisine : délicieuse ! Daniel, Lulu et Roberto sont adorables, j'ai adoré travaillé avec eux :) Uda est super sympa : vous adorerez ces blagues qui rythmeront vos rando jusqu'aux cascades. Je vous recommande à 100 % ce volontariat ! Vous y passerez des moments magiques, vous permettant de vous immerger dans une nature époustouflante et dans la culture locale du Minas Gerais ! Je suis déjà en saudade <3

Voluntariar na reserva foi incrível. Lugar de muito aprendizado, troca, amizades, autoconhecimento, alimentação saudável, natureza preservada, rodeado de cachoeiras, animais, plantas. Um lugar para quem quer desacelerar da cidade, estar em paz e viver na presença. Gratidão por tudo!

A reserva é um local repleto de pessoas fantásticas. O trabalho é muito bem organizado, sempre dando clareza do que é necessário ser feito e porque. As refeições são preparadas com alimentos da própria região. E o local é repleto de cachoeiras indescritíveis, que aproveitadas depois do voluntariado trazem um equilíbrio incrível entre aprendizado e descanso/inspiração. Foi uma grande experiência de educação ambiental e de convivência social.
