Description
🌱 A Sustainability NGO in Ilha Grande
We are a non-profit organization located in Ilha Grande that focuses on sustainability projects. We are in the initial phase and have been active for one year.
🌊 Our Focus on Beach Cleanups
Here, we primarily focus on beach cleanups in Ilha Grande. We believe that a clean environment is essential for the health of our ecosystem and the well-being of the community. Our activities include waste collection on the beaches, where volunteers come together to remove litter and maintain the island's natural beauty. Additionally, we promote material separation to facilitate recycling and reduce pollution.
Through these actions, we aim to transform Ilha Grande into a cleaner and more sustainable place where everyone can enjoy its natural splendor. Join us in this important mission!
🛶 Access and Activities
The location is easily accessible with trails leading to various parts of the island! We have kayaks available at the lodge, and when they are not in use by guests, volunteers can use them. Right in front of the lodge is the Blue Lagoon, a spot with crystal-clear waters!
In addition to beach cleanups, we also hold educational moments with the caiçara population in local schools, promoting composting and gardening practices.
🌿 Disconnection and Nature
It's important to mention that we do not have internet connectivity. We are truly looking for travelers who want to disconnect from the hectic pace of life. We are isolated and do not have nearby tourist attractions, especially if you enjoy parties. If you appreciate nature, rural life, and the tranquility of the beaches, don't hesitate to reach out to us!

🌱 Uma ONG de Sustentabilidade em Ilha Grande
Somos uma ONG localizada em Ilha Grande que atua com projetos de sustentabilidade. Estamos em fase inicial e temos um ano de atividades.
🌊 Nosso Foco na Limpeza das Praias
Na aquí, estamos focados principalmente na limpeza das praias em Ilha Grande. Acreditamos que um ambiente limpo é fundamental para a saúde do nosso ecossistema e o bem-estar da comunidade. Nossas atividades incluem a coleta de resíduos nas praias, onde voluntários se unem para remover lixo e manter a beleza natural da ilha. Além disso, promovemos a separação de materiais para facilitar a reciclagem e reduzir a poluição.
Através dessas ações, buscamos transformar Ilha Grande em um lugar mais limpo e sustentável, onde todos possam desfrutar de seu esplendor natural. Junte-se a nós nesta importante missão!
🛶 Acesso e Atividades
O local é de fácil acesso para trilhas que levam a qualquer canto da ilha! Temos caiaques disponíveis na pousada, e quando não estão em uso pelos hóspedes, os voluntários podem utilizá-los. Logo na frente da pousada fica a Lagoa Azul, um local de águas cristalinas!
Além da limpeza de praias, também realizamos momentos de educação com a população caiçara, em escolas da ilha, promovendo práticas de compostagem e hortas.
🌿 Desconexão e Natureza
Importante mencionar que não temos conexão à internet. Buscamos realmente viajantes que desejam desconectar da vida agitada. Estamos isolados e não temos atrações turísticas próximas, especialmente se você gosta de festas. Se você aprecia a natureza, a vida rural e a calma das praias, não hesite em entrar em contato conosco!

The concept is based on the self-initiative of all volunteers, there are no "supervisors" but you still don't feel left alone, as Majo is always super easy to reach and you can always turn to Luana on site. She was always there for us!
