Ecotura

We are located on the only National Park of Portugal, Peneda-Gerês, surround of pure nature and wild animals.
We are a family company that loves animals, and we moved from the capital, Lisbon, to the mountains, chasing our dream.
When we receive our guests, we treat them like family, and this is one of the things that makes the difference, and when you meet our horse family you will fall in love :P

Our Worldpackers will be treated like family, and they will be well received. We will share knowledge and for sure they will have an amazing time at our place

I had a great time at Ecotoura! The caravan where i stayed was very cozy and had everything you need. The work included cleaning and feeding in the morning ( about 2-3 hours), feeding during the day (half an hour) and feeding in the evening (1 hour). There were also some extra tasks i had to do, e.g. sorting hay or walking horses out in the Mountains, which weren‘t hard but took some time. The horses and dogs were both really cute and well taken care of. Pedro and Lise were also helping with the work a lot, Mariana also helped when she had time.

You can tell that Mariana, Pedro and Lise are used to having volunteers, which is nice. They made sure to explain to me very well how everything worked. The area is stunning, the camper is cozy and the horses are cute and really well cared for. For me one of the only things that made my stay stressful at times were the unreliable work hours, sometimes we’d be asked to help with extra, urgent tasks very spontaneously, in addition to our daily ones. This would fx be catching a dog on the loose, and they don’t like being on leash so it was hard. But if you’re okay with that then no problem!

I felt very comfortable, Mariana always made sure we didn't lack anything and you could always talk to her if you wanted something or had any other problems. You live in a cozy caravan, which can get very cold in the evenings, but you have enough blankets to cover yourself. The working hours are very fair and the work is exciting but not challenging. You live very far out in nature, but if you love nature and horses, then this is the perfect place for you. I can recommend this experience 100%.

I can only recommend staying at Ecotura! Everyone there is very sweet and will help you with whatever you need. You can always come to them and they will help no matter what.
You live in a caravan, but it has everything you need. There are a lot of beautiful nature and you can walk to the village.
All the horses and animals are really good taken care of and the dogs loves cuddles🐶
The work is really easy and they will teach you how to do it and help you.
Even when Marianna and Pedro has a lot to do every day, they will make sure that you have everything you need🫶🏻

My time with Mariana and Pedro was very relaxing. I really appreciate how they treat their horses and dogs, you can see that they put a lot of love into it. Due to the busy season I didn't speak to them very much, but they did their best to make it as comfortable as possible for me. Lise is also a very hard worker with a lot of patience, with whom I felt very comfortable. If you go there I would definitely recommend you to bring some reading books and warm clothes. In the evenings it cools down a lot, I underestimated myself a bit.
