5 Years our partner
Join us in the mountains of Nova Friburgo to live unforgettable sustainable adventures on hikes, forests and waterfalls. We are a team of volunteers united for a common dream.
Welcome to Eco Caminhos, a sustainable eco farm situated in the beautiful mountains of the Atlantic Forest region in Brazil. At the farm we follow the permaculture principles and you can learn about and practice bioconstruction (natural building), agroforestry (syntropic farming), and renewable energy. We are seeking for a more committed lifestyle to find and share sustainable solutions. We invite people to share this experience.
Our goal is to live in harmony with nature, produce our own food, energy and treat our own waste, while the earth grows in wealth, productivity and aesthetic beauty.
