The Experience
Por aqui, estamos tentando recuperar o solo, melhorando a biodiversidade no terreno. Precisamos de uma ou duas maozinhas para nos ajudar. Como é uma regiao mais isolada acreditamos que casais ou duplas de amigos ficarao mais felizes, mas nada impede de se candidatar se voce viaja sozinho. A maior parte das atividade é no nosso jardim, tais como: molhar as plantas, cobrir o solo, adubar podar, fazer mudas. Estamos abertos a te ensinar

We spent three special weeks with Letícia and Valerian. They were always very kind and happy to share aspects of permaculture and their personal experience / project. Daily tasks included caring for the chickens, weeding, potting and planting, making compost, and other odd jobs. Working hours were respected and in our free time we were able to explore surrounding nature (weather permitting) by foot or kayaks - we even hitched a boat ride to the Dunes with Valerian! I recommend this experience to those looking to disconnect and spend some downtime in nature. Thanks again for everything

During our stay we helped Leticia and Valerian at their properties around Lagoa the project. We helped finish up the construction of two houses and worked on things like, wiring, trim work, digging trenches for water pipes, and various finishing touches to the spaces (hanging curtain rods, painting light fixtures, etc.) We learned a lot from them that we will be able to use in the future when we build our own house! We worked the agreed upon hours that are listed on Worldpackers and they brought us to different spots in the region including their posada in Jericoacoara. 10/10 Amazing!

La experiencia fue muy linda, es un lugar muy tranquilo y las instalaciones muy cómodas. Valerian y Leticia me recibieron junto con mi pareja y mi gata. Ellos son muy amables y siempre están predispuestos para enseñar. El trabajo fue el acordado y se respeto el horario y días de descanso. Gracias por todo!!!

Adorei o tempo que passei no projeto. É local de refugio em meio a natureza. Não está em local turístico mas dá pra fazer várias coisas como andar de caiaque ou ir a pé até às lagoas das dunas. Como é um local mais afastado, recomendo pra duplas de amigos ou casais. Quanto as tarefas tudo tranquilo e Letícia e Valerian são super disponíveis a explicar com paciência
