Amazing experience :) They are a real example of professional agroforestry and bioconstruction. I met people from more than ten countries, which made it really fun to practice languages every day and share life with such a diverse and inspiring group. Everything was very well organized, with beautiful hikes to waterfalls, workshops, and super welcoming hosts who made me feel at home from the start. It was the perfect opportunity to immerse myself in sustainability, learn from nature and plants (especially coffee), and experience community living in a meaningful way. I highly recommend it!

I absolutely recommend EcoCaminhos to everyone who is interested in nature, sustainable development and alternative lifestyles. As EcoCaminhos offers agroforestry, permaculture-gardening and bioconstruction, the work in this project widened my spectrum of consciousness and knowledge about sustainability. The volunteers, the host and his family welcomed me very well and we spend a lot of time together. You will love the waterfall behind the volunteer-houses and the hikes in this stunning place in the mountains!

Desde que cheguei, fui muito bem recebida e me senti muito acolhida por todos. Aprendi na prática sobre agrofloresta e bioconstrução colocando a mão na massa - e os pés também rsrs. As instalações são todas aconchegantes e as cozinheiras batem um bolão quanto o assunto é gastronomia! Tudo é bem organizado e os horários, respeitados. O diretor e sua esposa são pessoas ótimas, muito humanas. É um lugar que nos coloca face a face com nós mesmos, e nos mostra viver é diferente de existir. Aqui nós aprendemos, plantamos, crescemos, e nos transformamos. Eu me senti mais viva aqui. Sou grata. :)

A minha experiência no projeto foi muito especial, aprendi muito sobre as técnicas de construir com cob, pedra e bambu e tive a oportunidade de ajudar com alguns detalhamentos arquitetônicos. Além disso, pude desenvolver habilidades em comunicação e captação de recursos, contribuindo com conteúdo para redes sociais, blog e site, o que fortaleceu minha capacidade de produção e edição. Recomendo para quem busca uma experiência de aprendizado prático em agrofloresta e bioconstrução e viver em comunidade com pessoas do mundo todo.
