Nuestro Programa Universitario de Intercambio lleva a los estudiantes a un viaje por dos entornos de aprendizaje inspiradores:
Primera parada: Rio de Janeiro – En el Caminhos Language Centre, los estudiantes se sumergen en clases intensivas de portugués en la escuela de idiomas número 1 de la ciudad, mientras experimentan el vibrante estilo de vida de la Playa de Ipanema y exploran los principales atractivos culturales de Río.
Siguiente etapa: la Mata Atlántica –En Eco Caminhos, en Nova Friburgo, los estudiantes participan en la vida diaria de una granja ecológica, adquiriendo experiencia práctica en permacultura, agroforestería, bioconstrucción, ecoturismo y proyectos sociales que generan un impacto real en la comunidad.
Este programa único combina idioma, cultura y sostenibilidad en una experiencia transformadora — del bullicio de las playas de Río a la tranquilidad de la exuberante selva tropical brasileña.
Da forma a muros con barro y paja — aprende construyendo eco-viviendas reales

Foi uma experiência ao mesmo tempo edificante e pude relaxar na natureza. A Ecocaminhos é super organizada, com agendas diárias e pude escolher as atividades que mais me interessavam. E ao mesmo tempo tive muita autonomia para poder aproveitar a natureza fantástica do local.Posted on Dutra RJ NFJanuary 2, 2026 Excelente lugar para quem busca por paz, tranquilidade e privacidade. Casa biocontruida em alto padrão de acabamento e luxo. Quartos amplos, banheiros com espaço generoso. Uma excelente vista para a natureza local. Água de nascente, um céu maravilhoso para se observar as estrelas. Um lugar de paz!!!Posted on Iris Damoisaux-DelnoyNovember 18, 2025 Our stay at EcoCaminhos was exceptional. My two sisters and I spent two weeks on-site, primarily at the EcoLodge—an unexpected and much-appreciated upgrade—and also enjoyed a few nights in the volunteer house, which proved to be comfortable and welcoming. We took part in several bioconstruction activities, from applying natural plaster mixes to sifting sand and assisting with the installation of new solar panels. In agroforestry, we planted and pruned trees, worked with banana plants, and gained a hands-on understanding of the land. Evenings often turned into relaxed social gatherings with the other volunteers, cooking together and discovering cultures from around the world, sharing plenty of good moments. We also joined the daytime Portuguese classes and learned how to make candles from beeswax. Plus we did two magnificent hikes. The food deserves a special mention: lunches were consistently delicious, fresh, and generous, and quickly became something we looked forward to each day. Despite the short duration of our stay, we felt we experienced the project in all its depth. EcoCaminhos puts people first, and it shows: the community spirit is genuine, and the kindness of everyone we met made it difficult to leave. The vision they pursue is remarkable, and the world would benefit from looking more closely at EcoCaminhos. The work can be demanding, but it is far more meaningful and satisfying than anything I do back home in Belgium. Overall, it was a rich, rewarding experience that I wholeheartedly recommend.Posted on Celine StaehliNovember 11, 2025 We stayed in Eco Caminhos for a 2 week short-term Volunteer-Program and had our accomodation in the very beatiful self bio-constructed EcoLodge. It was the first time for us to ever volunteer abroad. Also we have had no special experience in agroforestry and bio-construction at all. We only know Brazil as we have friends and family here and wanted to experience volunteering first in this beautiful country with its lovely. After all it turned out to be the best decision made! From the first minute everything worked out perfectly. The pick-up at the airport, Bart (founder) and his wife Hilaine welcoming us, even cooking for us a delicious meal (we probably looked hungry :-)) and the introduction to the accomodation have given us a wonderful first impression. The whole farm is located on a hill near the cute town Nova Friburgo in „Mata Atlântica“, the Atlantic Forest which is best known for its hilly and biodiverse landscape. The farms area is big and all work, magic and beauty is happening on this hill. It is all connected to a self-constructed street, so you kind have the feeling being in a own small village. But it‘s mostly (besides of 2-3 neighbours) all EcoCaminhos. The week is scheduled for all long- and short-term employees and volunteers. The schedule is not fixed, so there is always some shifting possible which shows the openess and flexibility of all. Normally, we worked in the agroforests. Our tasks were pruning of trees, plant new trees, composting and maintaining the agroforest. We always were very well instructed by the long-term employees or/and volunteers. Same goes for bio-construction. In our two weeks we helped to construct the ecolibrium by plastering walls, building a concrete soil for the water-tanks and a contention wall. It was physically tough but nobody had to go over her/his limits. We were free to take breaks if wanted or needed. Furthermore we have received very interesting theoretical presentations from Bart about Agroforerstry, Bio-construction, the Ecolibrium projects as well as different workshops (cooking, intensive football games, language school, composting, soap and candle-making) and activities as hiking, doing trips in the region or having social nights. All in all it was very varied program. Looking back we are overwhelmed with emotions as it was one - if not - the best experience ever made. We have learned so much about agroforestry and bio-construction practically and theoretically. In these two weeks we also have learnt a lot about the social and psychological aspects of working in a team in nature with a very sustainable goal. It was truly an all in all experience that let you see the world, nature, climate and people from a different perspective. Also we have found peace and a status of calmness in this beautiful nature and the lovely people there. Last but not least, the people of EcoCaminhos were the main reason why this two-weeks experience was nothing but perfect. We always felt save, very respected and appreciated by everybody. The group has had a very good and over-all healthy dynamic! We will miss them all, that‘s for sure. We definately will stay in touch with EcoCaminhos as be truly believe in its growth and future! We also definately will come back!Posted on Alessandra D'ImperioNovember 4, 2025 Local diferenciado e natureza esplêndida, excelente para quem procura experiências imersivas e vivências em comunidade.Posted on MarinaNovember 2, 2025 Experiência ótima! Projeto incrível de permacultura, bioconstrução, agroecologia, agrofloresta e regeneração. Acomodações confortáveis, equipe consciente e feliz, atividades bem desenvolvidas. Tudo muito cuidadoso, adorei fazer parte e espero voltar









Puedes venir a la Eco Granja sin preocupaciones. La comunidad rural alrededor de la Eco Granja es extremadamente segura. Vivimos con puertas y ventanas abiertas desde que llegamos aquí. Además, la ciudad de Nova Friburgo, que se encuentra cerca, tiene una tasa de violencia muy baja en comparación con las grandes ciudades de Brasil.
