Unique experience
Great experience; Coming from the city this is a unique experience to enjoy nature in a great farm surrounded by people that have a positive energy and are giving their best to give you a great experience. The cultural and hands on activities were really good; Overrall the work is hard but you enjoy it and food is also really nice.

Authentic, inspiring, and deeply educational experience in Brazil!
My stay at Eco Caminhos exceeded all expectations. I chose this experience because of its collaboration with Wheeling2Help, and it turned out to be an incredibly meaningful and enriching journey. The best parts for me were the agroforestry and bioconstruction activities. Being able to learn by doing, made everything more engaging and impactful. I gained valuable knowledge about sustainable practices while working alongside a supportive and diverse group of people. The environment is beautiful and peaceful, and the entire experience feels authentic and purposeful. Even the small challenges, like adapting to a new routine, became part of the learning process and made the experience even more rewarding. I would absolutely recommend Eco Caminhos to anyone interested in sustainability, community living, and personal growth. It’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

Off-the-beaten-track holidays
Off-the-beaten-track holidays As a family of 4 (parents + 20 and 17 years old boys), we were looking for adventure, and especially a way to immerse into this beautiful country and learn more about the people, the culture(s) away from the mass tourism. Eco Caminhos was the perfect place to do that. Only a few hours bus away from Rio de Janeiro (the travel alone was worth it), we spent 6 wonderful days (5 nights) in their eco lodge and participated to a variety of activities: workshops, hands-on on ecological constructions and agroforestry, hiking, social night, cinema night, Brazilian language basics, etc. Waking up with the sun in this marvelous environment is certainly graved into our memories. A regenerating experience! The people working and living at Eco Caminhos are friendly, helpful, patient and always with a smile. Despite the different cultures, nationalities, we could integrate quick and felt like belonging to this Eco Caminhos family. A last point, we could combine this stay with 5 days in Rio de Janeiro and 3 days at Ilha Grande. The perfect mix of discovery, entertainment, learning, regenerating. If we could do it again, we would not change a thing. Just the perfect holidays! Hope to go back one day again to Eco Caminhos, bringing more time 😊 Thanks a lot to the Eco Caminhos team for the wonderful stay!

Best Experience Ever
I was originally not supposed to stay an extra three more weeks in Brazil. I had a two week long trip in Brazil but was offered to stay an extra three weeks in EcoCaminhos. I had no idea what to expect since had done very little research about the program. Arriving to Nova Friburgo I felt like I was in a world like no other, but what took me away was the hospitality we received as soon as we arrived at EcoCaminhos. The staff were beyond kind and very helpful when it came to fitting us into our accommodations.The staff were also very attentive to any needs or any itinerary changes if needed. Learning about EcoCaminhos missions regarding permaculture, agroforestry, and bio-construction very fun and interesting. Never in my life could I have imagined that I would learn about reforestation and not only learn but most importantly actually do hands on work toward this mission. Being at EcoCaminhos leaves you feeling closer to nature and most importantly closer to people from all over the world. Thank you for everything EcoCaminhos!

Amazing experience in a ecofarm.
It's a great opportunity to experience permaculture, bioconstruction, and agroforestry in practice, as well as living in a multicultural community. By allowing a week of hands-on experience at the ecofarm, they also helped me so much with my dissertation, in which I address ecovillages and proposals for solutions to the climate crisis. They welcomed me very well, all of them. Juliana, Bart, Geovani and everyone else. Bart showed me around the place. He explained permaculture, agroforestry, and a bit of bioconstruction. During our free time, we played a lot of games at the volunteer house and at the Colmeia, the main house, where we gather for lunch on weekdays. Working in the agroforest helps therapeutically; connecting with nature has something special; even though the work is tough, it's something to be aware of! The volunteer house is stocked with supplies on Mondays. On Sundays, we can request specific items. This way, we can make our own snacks and dinners. I was lucky enough to have a vegan apprentice, just like me. So we cooked and even made a vegan cake together. At the communal Saturday lunches, they were always considerate of me and made delicious vegan options. It’s definitely a multicultural and welcoming environment where people from various nationalities work and live together.
