Cozy Hand-Built Treehouse Chalet: A Serene Nature & Cultural Exchange
Enjoy vegan/vegetarian meals in our beautiful hand-built treehouse chalet. Our focus is on hosting an understanding of how to respect nature and all its inhabitants as we work on film projects. We welcome anyone passionate about the natural world and eager for cultural exchange.
We primarily welcome guests to share experiences, exchange cultures in a green environment. As a volunteer you'll help with any of your skills that you may have and learn from your staying in here. Also participate in simple daily tasks, making your bed and keeping your space tidy. During your stay, you can also explore the stunning beaches of Paraty.
Respect for the jungle and its inhabitants is fundamental to our peaceful environment.
The owner, an artist and filmmaker, is passionate about sharing his knowledge of environmental stewardship and engaging in cultural exchange. Guests are encouraged to spend time with him, learning about nature, his artistic work, and each other's cultures.
Gratefully,
Team
