    Description

    We are a non-governmental organization located on Ilha Grande, working on Agroforestry and Sustainability projects - it's literally a paradise!!

    We are in the initial phase, the NGO is new, and at this moment, we are structuring the volunteers' camping zone. Therefore, the stay today is in tents in an open area with coverage amid the Atlantic Forest, providing volunteers with direct contact with the abundance of our nature!

    The location provides easy access to trails leading to every corner of the island! Additionally, we have kayaks available at the inn, and when they are not in use by guests, volunteers can use them. Right in front of the inn is the crystal-clear Blue Lagoon.

    Accommodation

    We are in a part of the island isolated from other communities, so we don't have near our place any bars, supermarket or restaurants.

    We are located in the Atlantic Forest so be prepared for the experience of climate changing considering that we can have a lot of rainy days in summer too.

    Volunteers stay in a camping zone with Tent and all the bedding needed provided by us.

    The camping facilities started in December 2023. Please be aware that there is still much to be done, and the camping area may not be fully structured.

    The kitchen for volunteers is under construction by local volunteers. Until completion, meals will be provided in the inn's kitchen.

    An ecological bathroom is under construction. Meanwhile, a provisional bathroom inside the inn's laundry area will be used.

    Meals:
    We offer Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, which are basic and simple.

    Please inform us if you are vegetarian or have dietary restrictions before confirming your participation.
