Beautiful experience at the Chácara. Simón, Luca, and Kalebe are excellent hosts. The connection with nature and the countryside is total. I learned a lot and I'm left wanting to keep learning more. I also carry a special affection for all the animals that were there, from Flor, Baio and Negrito, to Meu, the chickens and even the monkeys we could spot. Highly recommended if you really want to immerse yourself in community life and at the same time not feel pressured if you don't feel it. -Hyper flexible- volunteering and the activities themselves. Thanks ☀️💫

Grateful to have the opportunity to connect more with nature, not only through observation but by taking part in the chacra project. In just one week I was able to interact with the animals, the garden, the food, and the community. The environment is calm, without pressure, friendly. If you enjoy countryside life, I recommend staying more than 1 week. Greetings to the family ❤️🫂

The visit to the Chácara ☀️, the community, was very good.
They were days of great learning and contact with nature.
I enjoyed learning about permaculture and the care of the soil and the plants.
And I hope to have contributed as well.
I am grateful to Simon for welcoming me and for providing this closeness.

It was very nice, I learned a lot from Simón, he was always very willing to answer all my questions and more, I loved working with the animals, especially the cow, and spending the morning in the garden or in the agroforestry was at the same time hard work and incredibly satisfying to do.
I also did several hikes with the other volunteers, so we explored the area, an incredible view, the food was really tasty, I liked the way it was organized🍀

A very simple place, but with a sustainable purpose.
I loved the place and learned a lot.
It was a pleasant stay and an incredible experience.
I learned numerous recipes and ideas for healthy eating.
I can say that it wasn't work but a shared experience and lessons that I carry in my memory.
