Villa the eco village was a lovely place! It really felt like entering a cosy little family, and I loved Diogo (the local town)! I learned so much, and got to really immerse in the local culture, as well as learn about the different plants and their organic-food project (especially since Bahia is known for food!) It was also just a short walk away from the sand dunes and beach!

I had a good time at the eco village 🌷 the vibe, the accommodation, the food and the people are very comforting - it's the perfect place to calm down, be far away from the busy cities and surround yourself with nature and animals (they have a lovely dog and a cat!). Working hours varied a bit but the overall working time was respected. The tasks and their impact on the environment were always explained with a lot of patience, I learned quite a lot! Thank you for this experience 🙏

The project is an incredible community for locals and travelers alike. You will have the chance to enjoy all sorts of tasks (e.g. planting, composting, cooking, cleaning), and activities (e.g. kayaking, hiking, meditation, visiting the nearby town). Most importantly, Miriam is incredibly accommodating and promotes a work philosophy centered on individual needs and traits. The result is a fantastic community where all members (i.e. guests and volunteers) feel included and respected. I hope to be back soon!

My experience at the project was absolutely perfect; Miriam is a wonderful being that makes you feel at home in a heartbeat; everything works in very organic way with an amazing flow of energy. I am only grateful for the experience and hope I'll be able to make it for the one year anniversary of the Vila in a couple of days :)))

The eco village foi o meu primeiro voluntariado e eu não poderia ter escolhido um lugar melhor pra começar minha jornada. As tarefas são tranquilas, tive a oportunidade de ajudar no café da manhã dos hóspedes e trabalhar nos matinhos. Desenvolvi muito a minha percepção do coletivo e das necessidades, já que aqui os voluntários são mais livres para entender a própria contribuição. Tudo é muito confortável, a comida é incrível e a Miriam faz o melhor pão e o melhor bolo! O lugar é perfeito para contemplar a natureza, tomar banho de rio, de mar, caminhar nas dunas e ver as estrelas. Obrigada pessoal!
