Sítio Salamandra
We enjoy cooking, listening to music, sometimes to drink cacao and dance. On my free days, I enjoy to go to the mountain, up to the Pico do Papagaio and other amazing mountains close to it.
You can eat with us vegetarian meals (sometimes we eat fish) or you can cook your own food. Kitchen will always be available for you. You will have a private small room with bed, which is attached to a house that we rent for guests, usually available during the weekdays. When it´s rented for guests, you may move to the mezzanine in the big house, which is also a cool place to stay.
There are a feel keywords to describe our vision to this place: peace garden, water sanctuary, regeneration, healing, unity, self-care, love.
We are a small farm (3ha), with 2 houses located in the beautiful Vale do Matutu - Aiuruoca - Minas Gerais. We are 3 friends living and working here (Sandra, Raphael and Tiago), a friendly female dog (Nina) and a lazy hunter female cat (Nuvem). The place here is very beautiful, surrounded by trees and mountains, with access to the river. Matutu is a bit isolated place through the dirt road. It´s part of the Serra do Papagaio National Reserve. People come to here to do trekking, climbing and relax. We rent rooms for guests, cook them breakfast and optional dinner. We also organize some cultural events with food and music and spiritual/healing events, such as ceremonies and therapies.
We are growing organic vegetables, fruit trees and visioning to develop an agroforestry. Our idea is to bring people with knowledge to give courses (permaculture, agroforestry, water management, bioconstruction and others). Worldpackers will be welcome to participate on some events for free.
