The Experience

O Sítio é uma Escola de Sustentabilidade, então prepare-se para aprender muito sobre permacultura, bioconstrução, agrofloresta, uso de ferramentas, etc. Voluntários trabalham nas atividades prioritárias para o Sítio no momento. Oferecemos um ambiente confortável em meio à Mata Atlântica, com acesso a rio e cachoeira. ALIMENTAÇÃO: preparamos o alimento e comemos juntos, mas pedimos que tragam comida para compartilhar. Bem vindo/a!

I volunteered here for almost 3 weeks and can't wait to return one day. There's a very special energy here at this site and you can immediately feel how much effort and care has gone into. The beautiful house felt like a home while I was there, and Vico was so helpful in teaching us about his crops as well as the surrounding rainforest. The work felt relaxed, flexible and collaborative and was really satisfying to see the finished results. The valley itself with its stunning waterfalls 10 minutes from the house was beautiful just on its own. I'd recommend to anyone wanting meaningful experienc

Estar voluntariando no projeto com o Vicente como líder e anfitrião foi uma experiência incrível de aprendizado e conexão. Desde o início me senti em casa, acolhido como parte de uma família.Vicente nos ensinou sobre Bio construção e as suas técnicas de sustentabilidade!A energia do lugar é realmente diferente , a natureza muito linda com caichoeiras de tirar o fôlego.Um lugar cheio de harmonia, respeito e contato com a natureza. Vicente faz tudo com amor, atenção e generosidade, criando um ambiente onde é fácil crescer, compartilhar e viver com propósito.saio daki com gratidão!

Realmente vivi o propósito do sítio durante a minha experiência. Aprendi demais sobre bioconstrução, agrofloresta e permacultura. O Vico foi um ótimo anfitrião e professor. Tive a oportunidade de participar de uma oficina de bioconstrução incrível em que aprendi um monte e conheci uma galera bem massa. Sem falar em toda a natureza exuberante do sítio. Realmente uma imersão na Mata Atlântica e na cultura gaucha. Gratidão eterna!

O sítio busca proporcionar sua coexistência em equilíbrio e respeito a natureza. Desse modo os voluntários tem a oportunidade de aprender de forma prática sobre Bio-construção, Agrofloresta entre outras práticas sustentáveis. O vale da forqueta (região do projeto) em si já é um lugar muito rico, cercado de rios, cachoeiras e MUITA floresta. Mas o que realmente realmente deixa esse lugar especial são os hosts Vico e Dani que em todo momento buscaram nos ensinar e acolher como família. Recomendo o projeto pra todos do Woldplackers e um dia desejo voltar para esse lugar querido!

The project é realmente uma escola, mas não só uma escola de sustentabilidade, é uma escola da vida também. Agradecer o Vicente que me recebeu muito bem e me fez dedse o começo me sentir em casa, mesmo sendo a minha primeira vez no sítio. Foi um prazer conhecer o Vicente, Dani, Paçoca, Lola e Pretinha. Vivi momentos únicos, aprendi coisas que jamais imaginei aprender e sem contar com a beleza do lugar, com certeza foi o lugar mais lindo que já visitei em minha vida até aqui. Espero um dia voltar no sítio, meu muito obrigado de coração e até logo! 👋🏻❤️
