Ecotura

We are located on the only National Park of Portugal, Peneda-Gerês, surround of pure nature and wild animals.
We are a family company that loves animals, and we moved from the capital, Lisbon, to the mountains, chasing our dream.
When we receive our guests, we treat them like family, and this is one of the things that makes the difference, and when you meet our horse family you will fall in love :P

Our Worldpackers will be treated like family, and they will be well received. We will share knowledge and for sure they will have an amazing time at our place

This Experience was really nice. This was my first volunteer experience and I am glad that it was here. Pedro and Mariana are so nice and we had really good conversations. You really see that they care so much about the horses, the volunteers and their business in general. It was really fun especially because you have another volunteer to work with and I was really lucky with Olga.
The work was not too much and actually fun.
Although I have to say that it is not for you when you want to meet many people. You should come for nature, animals and a quiet, peaceful time! 🫶🏻

My stay at Ecotura was amazing. Mariana, Pedro and Lise are the sweetest and the most kind people. I loved joking with Pedro;))
The work was really easy, leaving you with a lot of free time. All animals here are really well taken care of and made my stay here even better.
The caravan is really cozy and has everything you need (ex. heater thats really helpful during colder months)
I went on a couple rides with Pedro and Lise and saw the beauty of tha Natural Park we live in. But you can also explore on feet. You have to go to the waterfall (ask Mariana where it is), it was my fav place here.

Absolutely amazing! I felt welcome from the start☺️
Mariana is a wonderful host, she was always there to help whenever we had a problem.
I even got to go on a few rides with Pedro and Lise, exploring the beautiful National Park. The animals are well taken care of🐎🐕 The caravan is cozy and has everything you need and the work is very manageable! The nature is totally stunning.
All in all, I loved this experience, from the long chats with Mariana, to joking around with Lise and Pedro, and playing with the puppies. I would definitely come back.
Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity🥰

This was one of the most enriching & special experiences of my life. Mariana & Pedro are incredibly kind, generous people who put so much time, energy and dedication towards the farm, their animals and their guests. They care deeply for the animals who are so healthy, gentle, well-fed and very loved.

The caravan is extremely comfortable & the workload is great fun. Work hard, be proactive & you’ll have the best time! Lot’s of down time so bring something with you to keep yourself busy (wifi is amazing). Lots of walks, hikes, waterfalls + parks to see (breathtaking views). I’ll 100% be back!

I had a wonderful time at Ecotura! Mariana, Pedro and Lisa were lovely to work with I felt at home the whole time. The farm is very isolated so the nature of the area is quite untouched and incredibly beautiful. I enjoyed working with the horses and getting to know the processes to taking care of these amazing animals. The work was very simple and straightforward and I had a lot of downtime to rest or enjoy the beautiful area.
I highly recommend this experience for people who need a break from the city to immerse themselves in nature, and for those who don’t mind getting their hands dirty.
