    Description

    We are a group of friends based in the jungle in Goa, building an eco sustainable and nature friendly place.
    The place is surrounded by nature with a beautiful river nearby, more isolated than usual here you can enjoy in peace.

    We are 12 min from the beautiful beaches of south goa and half an hour from waterfalls in the hills inland.

    Right now we are in the process of building 2 small mud houses with natural building techniques so we are looking for volunteers with previous experience who would like to participate. The current work is filling bamboo walls with mud and mud floor for the first house and second building mud brick walls.
