My days at the project were life changing, not only for the amazing people I've met but also for the huge impact it had in the way I see life. Everyday I miss the earth, the dogs, the company and waking up to the beautiful landscape of serra negra. I learned so much with Luis and with the other volunteers that became friends for life. Every moment there was really special, can't wait to go back. We also had a chance to go to town, and to a waterfall, so it was a very rich experience. Alongside all I've learned about sustentability, I've been trying to apply it to my day to day life.

My experience in Instituto da Roça was amazing! I learned a lot, and not only about permaculture, agroecology and agroforestry, but I also learned about myself! About the processes we go through and that just like plants have their growth time we also have! Luis is a very intelligent and open person, talking to him is wonderful, he has become a special friend in my heart! I wish everyone can have the experience of going to Serra Negra and live this learning as great as I lived, my tips are: Go willing and bring repellent and sunscreen! Stay more than 15 days!!! It's safe for girls!

My experience at the farm was filled with unforgettable firsts: my first Worldpacker adventure, my first volunteering opportunity, and my first foray into agroecology. I couldn't have asked for a better setting than the stunning Serra Negra forest, teeming with wildlife, including colorful parrots and a pond. Luiz, the host, was exceptional. I found a true friend in him—always eager to teach and share joyful moments with me and the other volunteers. During my time there, I learned a great deal about permaculture, sustainability, and the local ecosystem. I could also improve my Portug

I initially went to the farm with the goal of learning more about permaculture, but what I ended up gaining was so much more. The experience was incredibly inspiring and productive, offering lessons that went beyond agriculture and touched on meaningful aspects of life. The environment was welcoming, and every moment felt enriching. I left with not just knowledge, but also a deeper appreciation for mindful living and community.

O Luiz é um querido! A recepção foi 1000....Muito atencioso e sabe atender as necessidades dos voluntários. As instalações são perfeitas,uma casa bem espaçosa só para os voluntários. Sobre o Trabalho, pode ser intenso e um pouco cansativo pra quem está um pouco sedentária kk como no meu caso! Mas poder está em contato com a terra e aprendendo sobre o plantio e a colheita é anergizante. O horário não ficou bem definido, mas eu trabalhava até ficar cansada e o Luiz super respeitava! Foi um belo aprendizado. Recomendo para quem tem intenção de se conectar com a natureza.
