Overview
Eco Caminhos, nestled in Rio de Janeiro's scenic mountains near Nova Friburgo, is an eco farm focused on bioconstruction, agroforestry, organic farming, and permaculture. Join our international community to experience sustainable living, nature, and ecotourism.
Since our founding in 2015, we've actively practiced bioconstruction (natural building) and agroforestry, striving for self-sustainability. Collaborate with people from around the world, learn Portuguese, and form lasting friendships. Our short-term program suits those with limited time or readiness, with potential transition to the long-term program.
Short-term volunteers work 8 hours, three days a week, contributing to agroforestry, bioconstruction, and farm tasks. Tuesdays offer eco sports and tourist activities, while Thursdays feature meetings and presentations. Weekends are free, often filled with exploration. Volunteer nights strengthen our community bonds. Our program combines apprenticeship, volunteering, and ecotourism. Apply through our website form.
