This volunteer experience was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.From the very beginning, Udsum was incredibly kind, supportive, and always made sure I felt welcome. It was my dream to volunteer on a farm, and this experience completely fulfilled that dream. I learned new farming skills, connected with nature and the animals, and woke up every morning to the beautiful landscapes of Minas Gerais.The place truly needs volunteers, and when you give your heart, it gives so much back. I arrived with an open mind, happy to do every task, and I left with unforgettable memories. Highly recommend!

Si vous avez l'occasion de vivre cette expérience, foncez ! Être volontaire ici, c'est avant tout prendre soin des animaux au quotidien : nettoyer les enclos, changer leur nourriture et leur eau, veiller à leur bien-être et participer à leur routine. Ce sont des tâches simples, mais qui prennent tout leur sens lorsqu'on est au contact des animaux et de la nature. Au-delà des missions, c'est vraiment l'environnement qui rend l'expérience exceptionnelle. On a l'impression d'être dans un véritable havre de paix, loin du rythme habituel, entouré par la nature et les animaux

Tive uma experiência realmente espetacular, completamente cercado pela natureza e animais (macacos, papagaios, periquitos, ocelotes...) Um ambiente idílico. Era maravilhoso acordar todas as manhãs com a vista das montanhas e o canto dos pássaros e dos outros animais. As tarefas são variadas e muito agradáveis de realizar. Além disso, Wdson e Samer são pessoas muito acolhedoras é sempre dispostas a ajudar. Uma experiência altamente recomendada, já estou ansioso para voltar!

Une expérience absolument incroyable ! La mission consistait à nourrir les singes et à s'occuper des animaux, et chaque journée était unique et enrichissante. WDSON et SAMER sont des personnes formidables, accueillantes et passionnées. On se sent tout de suite à l'aise avec eux. L'environnement est magnifique et l'aventure était tout simplement dingue. Honnêtement, tout était parfait — je recommande à 100 %.
