Eco Caminhos is open during COVID-19!
Preventive Measures
In order to minimize the risks of contagion by COVID-19 and to keep everyone safe, we are taking several precautions here at Eco Caminhos. Current farm residents are isolated and adopting preventive measures whenever it is necessary for them to leave the site. Prior to arriving at the farm, any and all new residents or visitors must self-quarantine for 15 days and complete a COVID-19 test.
EXPERIENCE A PERMACULTURE ECO FARM IN BRAZIL
At the farm we follow the permaculture principles and you can learn about and practice bioconstruction (natural building), agroforestry (syntrophic farming), and renewable energy. In your free time you can enjoy a nice healthy meal at a campfire, go hiking, go horseback riding in the mountains, jump under one of many amazing waterfalls, or play some fun board games with the other residents.
We offer you Portuguese classes and the possibility to live at the farm with other residents; you could also submerge yourself in the local culture and language by doing a homestay with local families instead.

What Volunteers Say
Some of the things our short and long term volunteers have said
Amazing experience! Life, culture, concept, landscape, food, friendship, collaboration, volunteering… you come back from there different. And wanting to go back
The rhythm of life was a welcome change from the often chaotic and demanding nature of the city, and this environment really allows individuals to slow down and become more established in the simple things.
I learned how my thoughts and actions can become more harmonious. From the beginning, I wanted to live in an organic way and Eco Caminhos gave me the tools to do it.
Being a volunteer at Eco Caminhos was the best experience I lived so far. To be honest, I got from it much more than I expected…I got new friends, new outlooks on life and I managed to do do things I never saw myself doing.
I am grateful and happy for my experience and am looking forward to seeing how that little permaculture farm, striving to be self-sustaining, will develop in the future.
Excellent ethos and driven by people with true passion, cannot recommend enough!
Eco Caminhos is not just a place to volunteer, it is a place to experience a different way of life. I immediately felt welcomed and comfortable in my home away from home. I enjoyed meeting such amazing people and learning about their different backgrounds and reasons for joining the Eco Caminhos family. Working on the Eco-farm and learning about bio construction was a nice change from my regular life. In my time there I learned that happiness should always come first.
A super project. People committed to nature, truth, and life in this beautiful land. Dear companions and partners.
