Amazing experience

I had a great experience at Eco Caminhos. In addition to seeing a great view every day on the farm, I was very well received by the staff and the local community is also very friendly. The place is far from the city of Nova Friburgo, but it has a very close bus stop that leaves us in the center of the city. The activities proposed by Eco Caminhos are very interesting and have allowed me to learn a lot about bioconstruction, permaculture and agroforestry.
