Eco Caminhos is a self‑sustaining ecological farm located in the Atlantic Forest mountains near Nova Friburgo, Brazil. We host an international community where people can experience a simpler and more conscious way of living, away from the pressures of urban life.
Our daily activities are based on permaculture principles and include agroforestry, natural building (bioconstruction), food production and renewable energy systems. Learning happens mainly through hands‑on participation, collaboration and community routines.
Beyond work activities, community life is an essential part of the experience. Participants share meals, cultural exchange, language learning, and outdoor experiences such as hiking and visiting waterfalls. Portuguese classes and interaction with local residents support cultural integration and mutual learning.
Eco Caminhos is not only a place to visit, but a space to practice sustainable living together.
Volunteer in Agroforestry and Natural Building
We are looking for passionate volunteers to join us for 1 to 12 weeks to help us grow and build a better world.
What You’ll Do

We utilize natural and local materials to create energy‑efficient buildings with integrated waste management systems. Our current major project is building a new home for a permaculture school on our farm.
