My experience at camping was very good! The hosts are super nice, the place is near the beaches and the city, and the work, although it is demanding, becomes much lighter when everyone helps each other and works as a team. The hours are very well respected. It's an experience I'd recommend to those who enjoy manual work, contact with nature, and learning new things. Here, there is always something to learn!

Volunteering at the Cactus campsite was very good for me, despite the short time up to then; I was able to learn things and gain useful knowledge in the field of construction. During the volunteering days I worked a lot with soil, using a shovel to move it, filling the wheelbarrow, and leveling the ground for earthworks. Max and Nanda are calm, fair, and good teachers. Thanks for welcoming us so well!

My experience at the campsite was very good, Nanda and Max are such lovely people! The shift was from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. from Monday to Saturday, with Sundays off. The schedules and tasks were respected; I stayed mostly on cleaning the campsite, very calm and it finished quickly. There was also a bit of gardening, we planted cacao, which was quite interesting. It was awesome getting to know a bit of Itacaré by volunteering with them :) I recommend.

Very productive volunteering! It's great to be part of the project and contribute to the campground's growth. Nanda and Max are excellent people, helpful, friendly, and with a huge heart. Itacaré by itself already has a wonderful energy, and the campground vibrates in the same rhythm, as do the people who frequent it. The location is great, not too far and not too close to the center and the beaches. The place is surrounded by fruit trees and by our rich fauna. I am very grateful for this incredible experience! I highly recommend it.

My experience at the camping was simply unforgettable! I learned a lot about bioconstruction in practice, something I certainly carry with me for life. But the real differentiator are the people: Nanda and Max are incredible hosts, super attentive, partners and with a heart as big as theirs. Their reception is so warm that it can even ease a bit of the nostalgia we feel being away from family. And there was an incredibly awesome kayaking trip with Max! Huge thanks for this energy and learning exchange. I highly recommend!!!
