Eco Caminhos wants to become a role model in Brasil and beyond when it comes to social, sustainable building and life style. A place where you can live in harmony with nature, produce your own food & energy while the land grows in richness, productivity and aesthetic beauty.

It owns a beautiful 287.000 m2 property with mountains, forest, natural water sources and a creek. The farm is 6 km away from the nearest town Nova Friburgo and about 2 hours drive from Rio de Janeiro. The property has 2 native forrest areas which are protected. There are serveral mountan slopes which are covered in grass currently which will be reforested in the next years to protect the slopes.

Long-term volunteering is an excellent opportunity for people who are seriously thinking of changing their lives, spend time in nature, produce your own food, build your own bioconstruction house and generate your own energy. Eco Caminhos in Brazil offers a new approach to volunteering and employment.

Full-time volunteers are expected to work in bioconstruction, organic farming, maintenance, administrative tasks and cooking. The work day starts early at 7 AM with a short briefing where the project leader divides the tasks. There is a break at 9:30 and than work until noon when lunch is served. From 1 PM you’ll work until 3.30 PM after which you are free the rest of the day.

For volunteers there is organized one special activity per month such as

•  hiking
• camping in the mountains
• visit other organizations that are active in sustainability or social work
• go to Caminhos Language Centre in Rio de Janeiro and attend their Caipi-Sexta
• attend a bioconstruction, permaculture or culinary course in one of the training centres in the region
