We are an international eco-farm with people from all over the world speaking different languages, offering a great opportunity to practice. Every week we self-organize Portuguese and English classes, helping each other, always open to cultural exchange and language practice. -

Electricity, clean water, hot showers, washing machines, stove and cooking facilities, and basic Wi-Fi.
Three meals per day are included.
A warm lunch buffet is provided on weekdays, while breakfast and dinner are prepared in the volunteer houses using the ingredients provided, including produce from the farm whenever available.
Personal snacks and special dietary items are the responsibility of each volunteer. -
Was noch ...
When not helping on the farm, volunteers can enjoy hiking or simply relaxing while exploring the rich flora and fauna around Cardinot, a rural village near Nova Friburgo at 1,200 meters altitude.
The area is known for its beautiful mountains, creeks, and waterfalls, offering a peaceful and safe environment for nature lovers.
Volunteers can join sports like football or volleyball, or participate in community activities on the farm.
We also host social evenings with music, movies, games, karaoke, or other activities depending on the group.
There is a bus stop just 500 meters from the volunteer house, taking you to Nova Friburgo in about 45 minutes, where you can explore the town and its services.
Our community is focused on wellbeing, so alcohol and drugs are not part of the environment here.
Living here gives you the chance to disconnect, enjoy nature, and immerse yourself in an international community. -
