Nosso Programa Universitário de Intercâmbio leva os estudantes a uma jornada por dois ambientes de aprendizado inspiradores:
Primeira parada: Rio de Janeiro – No Caminhos Language Centre, os estudantes mergulham em aulas intensivas de português na escola de idiomas nº 1 da cidade, enquanto vivenciam o estilo de vida vibrante da Praia de Ipanema e exploram os destaques culturais do Rio.
Próxima etapa: a Mata Atlântica – Na Eco Caminhos, em Nova Friburgo, os estudantes se envolvem no dia a dia de uma fazenda ecológica, adquirindo experiência prática em permacultura, agrofloresta, bioconstrução, ecoturismo e projetos sociais que geram impacto real na comunidade.
Este programa único combina idioma, cultura e sustentabilidade em uma experiência transformadora — do agito das praias do Rio à tranquilidade da exuberante floresta tropical brasileira.

EXCELLENT Based on 139 reviews Dutra RJ NFAugust 17, 2025 Excelente lugar para quem quer ter uma experiência agroecológica, com permacultura e bioconstrução. Iris VAugust 8, 2025 I had an amazing time at eco Caminhos, great values and principles, really interesting work and projects to be able to be a part of. In the middle of mountains and forest it offers amazing hikes and experiences. The people were lovely and welcoming I had a great 3 weeks here. Wish I could have stayed more. Christian KempJuly 11, 2025 EcoCaminhos has a great mission and put a great program together for my group of civil engineers. Lunches were provided and were delicious. The house as were staying at was beautiful JoshyaJuly 11, 2025 Beautiful scenery to wake up to, leaving with a large amount of bio construction and agroforestry. really glad that I came, would definitely recommend Dillon CaulfieldJuly 11, 2025 I enjoyed my experience at the Eco Caminhos, where I took part in the bio construction of the new Ecolibrium project, and also agroforestry within the farm. The time on the farm was broken up with lots of offsite activities such as hikes and visits into the city which were highly informative. All the staff were amazing on the farm, and the food was even better! H SuttonJuly 11, 2025 Amazing experience volunteering for 2 weeks with a group of civil engineers, we were exposed to agro forestry and bio construction for the first time, getting hands on and stuck in. Super inviting and commutative staff, that really went above and beyond to expose us to as much as possible. Packed program that kept us busy and entertained, highly recommend. Daisy ZapateroJune 20, 2025 I was originally not supposed to stay an extra three more weeks in Brazil. I had a two week long trip in Brazil but was offered to stay an extra three weeks in EcoCaminhos. I had no idea what to expect since had done very little research about the program. Arriving to Nova Friburgo I felt like I was in a world like no other, but what took me away was the hospitality we received as soon as we arrived at EcoCaminhos. The staff were beyond kind and very helpful when it came to fitting us into our accommodations.The staff were also very attentive to any needs or any itinerary changes if needed. Learning about EcoCaminhos missions regarding permaculture, agroforestry, and bio-construction very fun and interesting. Never in my life could I have imagined that I would learn about reforestation and not only learn but most importantly actually do hands on work toward this mission. Being at EcoCaminhos leaves you feeling closer to nature and most importantly closer to people from all over the world. Thank you for everything EcoCaminhos! Olivia RJune 20, 2025 This is a beautiful place! The people are very friendly and hospitable, the activities were engaging and informative, and everything felt fresh and clean - food, air, water. I learned a lot more about living sustainably and it was a welcome reprieve from the hustle and bustle of city life. The accommodations were also very enjoyable with all modern amenities and breathtaking views. Isabel GerwigJune 20, 2025 This has been an incredible experience learning about agroforestry, bioconstruction, and permaculture. The food and the stay have been immersive in nature and has impacted my view of advocating for sustainability. I accomplished things I would have never thought I could do and he community of people is really amazing. The immersion into the Brazilian and other cultures while being here. Eve CastorenaJune 20, 2025 I learned a great deal at ecocaminhos farm. Bart is such an inspiration and we are so fortunate to hear his knowledge and participate and contribute our own small part to his project and efforts to sustainability. I leave so inspired to take care of our planet and with a renewed sense of consciousness of my carbon footprint. Thank you ecocaminhos! I will be back.
