I absolutely recommend EcoCaminhos to everyone who is interested in nature, sustainable development and alternative lifestyles. As EcoCaminhos offers agroforestry, permaculture-gardening and bioconstruction, the work in this project widened my spectrum of consciousness and knowledge about sustainability. The volunteers, the host and his family welcomed me very well and we spend a lot of time together. You will love the waterfall behind the volunteer-houses and the hikes in this stunning place in the mountains!

A minha experiência no projeto foi muito especial, aprendi muito sobre as técnicas de construir com cob, pedra e bambu e tive a oportunidade de ajudar com alguns detalhamentos arquitetônicos. Além disso, pude desenvolver habilidades em comunicação e captação de recursos, contribuindo com conteúdo para redes sociais, blog e site, o que fortaleceu minha capacidade de produção e edição. Recomendo para quem busca uma experiência de aprendizado prático em agrofloresta e bioconstrução e viver em comunidade com pessoas do mundo todo.
