We live in a very safe region in the mountain region around Friburgo. Now at the farm we have animals like cows, chicken and dogs. We also will be walking on trails through our agroforestry systems or will be doing some activities on our building sites. So we recommend people to wear trousers (we do not recommend shorts or skirts), bring some gloves and a hat for the sun. In case of rain it is good to bring a raincoat. For some of the activities a reasonably good physical condition is required. Of course, we can adjust the program for people with physical limitations. Please inform us in advance if you have any limitations so we can make adjustments.
You can make your own way to the Eco Farm. For people who come by public transport we can pick people up from the Nova Friburgo bus station. We charge 200 reais for a pick-up and drop-off from the busstation. Now in case you need transport from Rio de Janeiro to Nova Friburgo, we organize your transfer (one way) for 900 reais for up to 4 people with our trusted driver.
