Somos um pequeno sítio com mata nativa, nascentes e à poucos minutos do maior museu de arte contemporânea à céu aberto do mundo - Inhotim. Queremos voluntários com vontade de construir nosso futuro. Em troca compartilhamos um ambiente harmonioso e boa comida.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was awesome. Sonia is a force of nature and her story, energy, and commitment are very inspiring. I loved working in the garden and fully enjoyed the beauty and quietness of the place. For me, it was a great way to recharge my batteries and reconnect with nature. Travellers, beware of mosquitoes and other insects, so don't forget to bring some strong repellent. Thank you for everything, Sonia!

O sítio é um lugar tranquilo, bonito e com a típica fartura da roça. Sônia é uma anfitriã gentil, cheia de energia - e precisa, pois tem uma vida agitada hahah! Adorei conversar com ela e aprendi muita coisa interessante. Ela me ensinou a pescar, a cuidar de horta, a colher e preparar PANCs. Pude ter contato com habitantes locais e saber da luta diária para reconstruir a região (e a si mesmos) após a tragédia de 2019. Pode voluntariar lá com tranquilidade, pois tem equipamentos de proteção e de trabalho adequados, quarto confortável, comida boa e flexibilidade de horários. Recomendo muito!

A experiência no sítio foi maravilhosa para mim. O lugar é um verdadeiro paraíso para relaxar e trabalhar na natureza. Desde o primeiro dia, Sonia me perguntou o que mais me interessava e, assim, pude lançar o projeto de permacultura, com alguns bons conselhos dela. Sonia é muito atenciosa com as expectativas dos voluntários e faz tudo o que pode para tornar nossa estadia agradável. Eu recomendo totalmente!

Nos sentidos muy bien recibidos por Sonia en su hermoso la granja. Fue nuestra primera experiencia de voluntariado en Brasil y la agradecemos enormemente. Ella sabe muy bien cómo guiar el trabajo de siembra, de cuidado de la tierra y de cosecha. El espacio para hospedarse es muy cómodo y siempre hay comida (muy mineira, muito gostosa). Los tiempos de voluntariado son justos y flexibles. Creemos que Sonia tiene un conocimiento profundo de su quehacer, así como una relación cuidadosa y respetuosa con los voluntarios y con la naturaleza. Es una gran maestra y una persona de gran corazón.
