Nestled in the verdant atlantic forest high in the mountain in Brazil, Eco Caminhos farm is pursuing a more sustainable future through agroforestry and natural building (bioconstruction). We invite volunteers to participate in either one or both of these areas! Through agroforestry we cultivate abundant organic produce while taking care of the land. Currently we are focusing on incorporating shade grown coffee into our agroforestry systems. We also have completed several bioconstruction homes which make use of natural resources and work in harmony with natural systems to produce energy and manage waste. We are currently working on a bioconstruction project which will house a permaculture school on our farm. In addition to participating in these projects, volunteers get a chance to experience the breathtaking Atlantic forest and participate in outdoor activities like hiking and swimming in waterfalls. You'll also have the opportunity to learn Portuguese, experience Brazilian culture, acquire new cooking skills, and make friends from all over the world. Right now we are looking for volunteers who can come from 1-12 weeks. You can access more information about our volunteer program on our website. https://ecocaminhos.com/short-term-volunteering/ Check out reviews by past volunteers on our Youtube channel: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB2oVTr7ToA&list=PLCPaps_YYt2dfv-rUli3w01rVOWGgbqRx&index=1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKjJ5s8P_Mc - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DZOjYNaTsc&t=9s

In the near future our guests will be accommodated in Eco Lodges and offered locally cultivated organic food.
