    Description

    COB HOUSE BUILDER / BIOCONSTRUCTION

    Our Eco Farm is situated in the beautiful sierra region of Rio de Janeiro in the Atlantic Forest. We follow the permaculture principles, and work in natural building and agroforestry.

    Since 2015 we have built 5 bioconstruction houses, and we are currently building a sixth, the Ecolibrium space that will be a multifunctional educational facility with accommodations, learning spaces, and a farm to table restaurant. You can read more about our skills and applied techniques here: https://ecocaminhos.com/bioconstruction-natural-building-brazil/

    We are looking for volunteers who want to learn more about sustainable living. You will volunteer with our natural building and/or agroforestry team to learning the different techniques we apply here at our eco farm. You will also get to participate in theoretical and farm skills workshops, as well as go on guided tours of the region. You can ready more about our program here including schedule, accomodation options, and associated costs: https://ecocaminhos.com/short-term-volunteering/
