    Description

    Sítio Ispinho e Fulô is a permaculture experiment started in 2016 and located in Serra da Aratanha, municipality of Maranguape, Ceará, Brazil. It has an area of 68 hectares, most of which belongs to the Atlantic Forest biome. Its biodiversity provides daily discoveries of fauna and flora. There are dozens of birds, frogs and snakes with the presence of capuchin monkeys. Permaculture is the main tool for planning and carrying out activities integrating agroforestry, vegetable gardens, ornamental and medicinal gardens, chicken coops, meliponaries, roof gardens, bioconstructions and people. We hope to welcome people willing to exchange knowledge, experiences and affections and interact deeply with nature.

Possui uma área de 68 hectares, grande parte, pertencente ao bioma Mata Atlântica. Sua biodiversidade proporciona descobertas diárias de fauna e flora. São dezenas de pássaros, sapos e serpentes com a presença do macaco-prego.
