I felt so welcomed here—this was easily the best volunteering experience I've ever had. It truly felt like being surrounded by family and friends. The workload was well-distributed and always mindful of everyone's needs. Working remotely, my schedule was consistently respected, which I deeply appreciated. Denver and his sons have become true friends, and I'll definitely be back to visit whenever I can. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here; the surrounding nature is incredible, and I got to explore so many amazing waterfalls and parks. Obrigado! ❤️

Very happy to have had a second stay with you all! As I mentioned in the previous application, the experience was so positive that we ended up extending my volunteering. The Demuner Family is extremely kind, welcoming, and provides a very calm, light environment full of good connections. I am very grateful to have lived this experience with you again. Thank you very much, once again, for all the warm reception and for everything you shared with me! ❤️

I was very warmly welcomed from the first day by Vinícius and very well instructed. Vinícius, Vitinho and Mr. Elber are extremely kind people and gave me the freedom to feel at home. The tasks are calm and the space is beautiful, instagrammable, and surrounded by mountains. I had a very special conversation with Mr. Elber, who inspired me with ambition, positivity, and the will to make things happen. My stay, which was supposed to be two weeks, ended up becoming one month. I am very grateful for the opportunity and I will certainly cherish this experience.

Vinicius and Vitinho are great hosts! They are nice, friendly, and super easy to get along with. The tasks are tranquil, the place is beautiful, calm, and very instagrammable. Additionally, there are several places to explore in the region, including a natural park, where I could ride a bike with a bicycle they provide. It was my first volunteering experience, and I found everything very calm and rewarding. It's definitely an experience I would repeat and I would like to return someday! As the only point for improvement, it would be nice to have a fixed place for volunteers to sleep.
