    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Travellers will have the chance to learn about our projects on local development, so they will learn about our local products and our traditions from the village of Tramonti and the Amalfi Coast as a whole.

    We also have an international environment due to the presence of students and volunteers coming from all over the world for different projects, making cultural exchange a daily opportunity.

    Tramonti is a rural village where you can get to know the local people quite easily and learn about their culture. In our association we are promoting sustainable ways of life and projects, so we also offer the possibility to learn new sustainable approaches to many fields (agriculture, natural building, food, etc..).
