  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our home is on the center a tiny village with lots of interesting places to visit nearby, beautiful countryside walks and cycleways and the opportunity to learn alongside permaculture and a simple life.
  The pace of life is gentle and it can be very quiet. It suits those who are happy with their own company and like to spend time
  retreating from the busyness of the world.
  We are welcoming and enjoy sharing our Interests like permaculture, trekking, hiking, bikes, philosophy, social justice, living ethically and sustainably.
  
  In our city there are many coffee plantations, here you can see from the plant to the cup, the harvest occurs from May to July, this may change year by year depending on the weather.
  
  We are located 120km close of the one of the most beautiful canyon of the Brazil, Canyon de Furnas, 150km Canastra National Park .

  We are happy to teach skills as well as learn from others.
  The help required here is based around gardening, repairing outbuildings,making garden beds, planting trees, building garden structures, food processing and preserving, cooking occasionally.

  In fact, we do not want any skills, the most important for us is that you are a willing person, we would like you walking with us, riding bike with us, cooking with us, having a coffee with us, you must have the patience to teach us english, give us some tips and help us improve our conversation in english.
  Let's spend two or three hours in our garden, take some weeds, plant some vegetables and veggies, make some flowers beds, don't worry, it will be easy!

  Accommodation

  We remodeled our house, making it smaller than before, more compact, and updated the place where our guests will spend their time.
  Our guests will stay in a house adjacent to our house. It is a "friends' house" where we receive friends .
  You Workaways will be in the house alone we will not host anybody with you in this house.
  It is a private and fully furnished house, with a kitchen, bathroom, fridge, washing machine, air conditioning, TV, garage, internet, stove, oven, etc.
  It is worth mentioning that there is only one bedroom with a double bed.
  In short, all the necessary items inside a house. It is a new house where a couple can live very comfortably.
  
  Food:
  
  We will cook one main meal each day which we will eat it at lunch everyday, the breakfast its a typical brazilian wich one we will having it together. In the afternoon around 4:30 and 5:30 we usually have a big "afternoon coffee" we called it here " merenda" , where we always welcome some friends. However, we don't usually have dinner, because we always eat enough at this afternoon coffee.
  
  We eat all kind of the food, meat,pork, chicken,fish, vegetables, rice and beans,pasta, many kinds of fruits
  You should know that we can provide sort of kind food for most dietary needs, But......... gluten-free it will be impossible get them here.
  
  Do feel free to offer to cook dinner occasionally - especially if you enjoy cooking! We like being cooked for!
