    Description

    Sitio criaçao is located in the Seirra da Mantiqueira (140 km from São Paulo).

    The nature here is very beautiful. Lots of mountains and rivers. The land is very beautiful and with a lot of potential.
    I leave here with my wife who is a musician, our dogs and cats.

    Everything here started from the very beginning. This was a complete new challenge for me.
    I spend most of my time, taking care of the land, building and creating spots and paths to walk across the land.
    I stopped planting food for the moment because of the wild pigs who eat everything. In the future I plan to install an electrical fence to protect a planting area. For the moment I only have a vegetable garden.
    I also have bees.

    I am finishing a construction on the upper part of the land. This is where I am offering the hosting.
    There is a nice room with it's bathroom, And also an outside shower. There is evrything to install a basic kitchen and this is the next thing that need to be done. There is water and electricity.
    The view is very beautiful and the place is surrounded by nature.
    If you like to be immersed in nature on your own and to do handing things it could be a wright place for you.

    Basicaly I am looking for people who could work with me a few hours in the week (15h to 20h/week) in exchange of basic accomodation with an open kitchen to cook. For a minimum stay of 15 days.

    If you have building skills or experience in farming , we can make a diferent type of exchange that includes food and more working hours

    The local community here is quite nice. Some people around doing music, art, healing… It is a small countryside village and the area is great for tracking.

    Don't hesitate to ask me for more details or other possibilities.

    Abraço
