Video Maker / Videographer

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.

Eco Caminhos is an Eco Farm that has the intention to become a fully self-sustaining community in Brazil, located in the peaceful city of Nova Friburgo. We work in order to produce our own in food, energy, and building materials. We believe this is the 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 are able to generate sufficient funding we also want to offer vocational training for underprivileged youth.

At the farm we follow the 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 nice healthy meal at a campfire, go hiking, refresh in our backyard waterfall or spend quality time with the other volunteers.
