Description
Cozy Hand-Built Treehouse Chalet: A Serene Nature & Cultural Exchange
Enjoy vegan/vegetarian meals in our tranquil, hand-built treehouse chalet. Our focus is on hosting an understanding of how to respect nature and all its inhabitants. We welcome anyone passionate about the natural world and eager for cultural exchange.
This is not a business or a hostel; it's the private residence of an artist. We primarily welcome guests to share experiences, exchange cultures, and connect with new people in a safe and respectful environment. As a guest, you'll also participate in simple daily tasks, similar to visiting a friend—making your bed and keeping your space tidy. During your stay, you can also explore the stunning beaches of Paraty.
Respect for the jungle and its inhabitants is fundamental to our peaceful environment.
The owner, an artist and filmmaker, is passionate about sharing his knowledge of environmental stewardship and engaging in cultural exchange. Guests are encouraged to spend time with him, learning about nature, his artistic work, and each other's cultures.
While help around the house is appreciated (like helping a friend), it's not required.
Gratefully,
Team
