ABOUT ECO CAMINHOS

Permaculture Farm
in Brazil

Are you looking for a meaningful way to volunteer in Brazil and reconnect with nature? Do you want to learn practical skills, meet like-minded people, and make a real positive impact?

Eco Caminhos is a permaculture farm in Brazil, located in the mountains of Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, in the heart of the Atlantic Forest. We offer an immersive Eco farm volunteer program where you can have a sustainable living experience in a vibrant international community.

Here, you can volunteer on a permaculture farm, learn agroforestry in Brazil, practice natural building (bioconstruction), and take part in regenerative projects that restore the land.

This is more than a trip, it’s a sustainable living experience where you grow, learn, and contribute.
