It was a transformative experience. A true immersion in the local culture with meaningful insights about bioconstruction, sustainable management, and sertanejo culture. Rodrigo is a great connoisseur of the Cerrado and its complexities. I had the opportunity to experience moments of meditation, a connection with nature, and total silence among the trees and the Rio Formiga.

Manganga is a simple, clean, safe and cozy place. I stayed at an agroforestry ranch with the reserve at the back of the yard, some fruit trees still growing. Rodrigo, the host, is polite, attentive and knows a lot about plants, animals, and the climate. Conversations with him always bring some learning. the reserve routine was calm, he proposed a detox and a natural healing process, without hurry. The meals are made on the wood stove. I spent days reading while watching the birds on the ranch roof. I saw some Cerrado animals that I had never seen in person.

My experience at Manganga in the reserve of the reserve was relaxing, as the host Rodrigo proposed, a relaxing detox in real contact with the reserve, the forests, trails, ideas and the concept of sustainability, preservation of the environment, in addition to having easy access to the reserve — one day — the most beautiful rivers I have ever seen in my life: the crystal-clear waters reserve! My days beside Rodrigo, Andrea (his partner), both cultured, well-traveled, with open minds to the socio-environmental problems of the planet and the region they live in awakened greater awareness on the topic. I hope to be able to return more times.

The reservation experience was very good, Rodrigo explained well how to reach Manganga, as it is a place with difficult access, and when I arrived he picked me up at a nearby reservation. Rodrigo, Andreia, Rosa, and Luisa are lovely people, very attentive and polite, they made me feel at home. I received on-site guidance and we went to crack Jatobá at Mr. Zé Meninin's house. I advise coming prepared with equipment, a pair of boots, pants, a good tent and insect repellent. If possible, a means of transportation to reach the sightseeing spots.

Luann!! A great volunteer traveler and companion. The days we spent together were really wonderful! Please come back more often, with more hands and voices to accompany your guitar!

The days here at Manganga have been amazing. Rodrigo, Andrea, Rosa and Luisa are wonderful people. They are caring, affectionate. I keep learning a lot from all of them. The “fazendo” is a very special place where I could connect deeply with myself and with nature. The reserve is something to talk about. They are very careful with the reserve nature and I felt part of all this. I will even extend my volunteering for another week to live more of all this here. I only thank everyone for everything! You all are spectacular! Unique experience.

Yes! We’re in good sync with Paula; she understood the proposal. We’re still together for more days! Now we’re decided, Paula.
