  • Description

    Description

    I live in an ecological reserve, protected by law. A true Natural Sanctuary, as the name of the place states, with montains, valleys, waterfalls, forests, abundant vegetation, wild animals. Everything here is grown organically (many fruits and vegetables). I have also many different types of bees. I work here to preserve species.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I would like to provide volunteers with an experience of deep immersion in the lush nature here and also share the work I have been doing here for about 20 years, which revolves entirely around the premise of environmental sustainability. This includes providing the opportunity for natural and organic food, and the experience of tasting authentic wild honey produced by local bees. And witnessing the continuous composting work (for soil enrichment). At the same time, being in such a place reinforces our conviction of the importance of preserving Earth's natural resources. This is a region with incredible native vegetation and contains three different and extremely rich biomes in terms of biodiversity (Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, and Rupestrian Fields).

    Help

    My main goals are to meet people and practice other languages (English, Spanish and Italian), and, in return, offer the traveler a unique experience in terms of immersion in nature, with comfort, good food, good coexistence, good conversations and exchanges.

    Furthermore, I need the traveler to help keep the house clean and in good condition so that we can enjoy the experience in the best way possible.

    In short, my main goal is to practice conversation in English, Spanish, and Italian. And, of course, to meet and interact with people from different parts of the world, share general impressions about life in the most open and profound way possible.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Comfortable house with private bedroom and private bathroom for guests. In the middle of an incredible nature. It is a place for deep immersion in nature and not for partying and noise. There are no bars or clubs nearby and this cannot be the objective of anyone who comes to stay here.
