Overview
Eco Caminhos aims to be a role model in Brazil and beyond for a sustainable and happy lifestyle. We live in harmony with nature, produce our own food and energy, while the land grows in richness, productivity and aesthetic beauty. We treat our waste, generate our own electricity and share knowledge with others. Our example should inspire others to step away from the consuming world. We follow the essences of permaculture, agroforestry and bioconstruction.
Eco Caminhos is an Eco Farm with the intention to become a fully self-sustaining community in Brazil, located in the peaceful city of Nova Friburgo. We work to produce our own food, energy and building materials. We believe this is an ideal setting for humans to develop themselves, as we learn to live (coliving), work (coworking), evolve and resolve our problems together. In the future, once we have sufficient funding, we also want to offer vocational training for underprivileged youth.
At the farm we follow permaculture principles and you can learn about and practice bioconstruction (natural building), agroforestry (syntrophic farming) and renewable energy. In your free time you can share a healthy meal at a campfire, go hiking, refresh in our backyard waterfall or spend time with the other volunteers.
