Garrawe is a special place it attracts special people. There is always work to be done and projects to manage but just as often there are events to participate in or nature to explore. If creature comforts are your main interest then I wouldn't recommend coming but if you want to learn about permaculture or build lasting friendships and explore nature then this is the place for you.

My time at Gaarawé is something I will hold near to my heart forever. The location is beautiful- there's a view of the mountains on the road down and in many spots around the village. There's a river at the end of the village we would swim in everyday after working. The mornings start with the melody of the jungle and in the evenings you get to fall asleep to the hum of your friends/community. The work is enjoyable- lots of gardening and building. The food was yummy and fresh. Lele has many neat ideas for his village and it was a treat to be able to contribute to his dream. 10/10 recommend ❤️

The experience I had at this village was really special! The days went by so quickly yet it felt like I knew everyone I met there forever. The work is great once you get to understand the hosts way of thinking and how he allows you to manage your own time! All in all I had a wonderful time learned a lot and most importantly made many new friends. I can recommend it to anyone that wants an experience close to nature and a slow way of living ;)

It was an incredible experience. I spent almost one month in this village full of love and great energy. My group was very close, and we were always doing different activities. Having the river in the backyard brought so much fun. The work was very relaxed, and Lele is a great host — very flexible, with excellent food. I highly recommend it.

1000% recommend. I stayed at Gaarawé for 7 days and wished I could have stayed longer. Sleeping in bamboo bungalows in the jungle, with crickets at night and chickens in the morning, was magical. The food is fresh, healthy, and mostly from their own garden. The volunteer work was hands-on and creative, and there was plenty of time to slow down, swim in the river, and connect with the amazing people. Lele is an inspiring host, the family is incredibly kind, and this place truly shows how little you need to feel fulfilled. I hope to come back soon🥹
