Great learning experience
July 12, 2025by: Clauda Matthews - United KingdomProgram: Short-Term Volunteer - Bioconstruction & Permaculture in RioAs a Civil engineer just finishing studies it was great to see a new part of the world while also learning new skills which may help in the future. Everyone at eco caminhoes had a great vibe and super welcoming and friendly, we were given a nice mix of seeing the local town, understanding the history of the area while learning about agroforestry and bioconstruction methods, and how they plan to teach more people sustainable farming methods.
Great people, landscape, food and developed lots of practical skills in bio construction
July 12, 2025by: Jack Boswell Brown - United KingdomProgram: Short-Term Volunteer - Bioconstruction & Permaculture in RioGreat people, landscape, food and developed practical skills in bioconstruction. Also my table tennis ability has massively improved. It's making a huge environmental and social difference to underprivileged young locals and hopefully with the help of more volunteers continue to do so.
Highly Recommend
July 12, 2025by: Dillon Caulfield - United KingdomProgram: Short-Term Volunteer - Bioconstruction & Permaculture in RioI 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!
