Detalhes
Welcome to Terrae, nestled in Kandangan village on the slopes of Mount Semeru, East Java. This is not just a place to stay, it's a growing movement to restore harmony between nature, culture, and people. We offer you the chance to live inside a real Javanese/Tenggerese village, join meaningful projects, and share stories over food, fire, and forests. There is no mandatory fee to join, because we believe in shared humanity. But if you feel moved by your experience, you're welcome to contribute a tip (voluntary donation) to support the community that welcomes you.
You’ll be staying in a local resident’s home, humble, warm, and full of heart. This isn’t a tourist homestay, it’s the real village life. You'll sleep in a shared or private room (depending on availability), and use a shared bathroom. A communal kitchen is available for you to cook your own meals, just like locals do.
Your presence helps keep this place alive. Not just financially, but spiritually. We are a small community trying to create something that heals: our land, our identity, and our relationships.
We don’t sell an experience. We share a life.
Your voluntary tip, if you choose to give one, supports:
• Water and electricity for the hosting families
• Cleaning supplies and tools for nature projects
• Compensation for locals who help prepare your stay
• Keeping Terrae open for future volunteers
No pressure. Just presence.
Atividades & Turnos
Depending on the time of your visit, you might:

We keep things flexible, so you can contribute in a way that fits your skills and comfort.
