    There are many wonderful sights locally and even in the heat of summer the valleys and rivers hold their lush beauty and tranquility.
    The village of Benfeita is just 10 minutes walk from here with very friendly local people, a little shop, post office, the popular outdoor cafe in the square and a river beach for bathing in summer.
    From here old stone walkways link rivers, waterfalls, villages and off grid dwellers, interesting friendly folk forming a spontaneous mostly off grid creative community drawn here from all over the world, of builders, growers, artists, craftspeople, healers, different therapists, people skilled and learning many aspects of sustainable living, dedicated thru native tree planting projects to help these mountains recover from the quick cash crops of non native and dangerous eucalyptus and pine plantations, to be safe and beautiful as they naturally were.
    There are local markets, a very popular alternative school, musical events ….opportunities to meet an awesome bunch of brave strong pioneers!
    We've qualified as an 'Eco Fregesia', eco local region.

    Obviously bring clothes suitable for work and weather.

    Food here is vegetarian, mostly organic, home grown, local, wild and simply delicious.

    Please only bring organic washing, hair, teeth and skin products as it all goes into the earth and river.

    I ask you please not to smoke here. Instead to let the fresh mountain air and our engagement with nature soothe and intoxicate us.

    2 dear cats, 3 dear hens and 2 dear sheep also live here.

    Read all this again a week or two before you come to be sure to b well prepared.
