Natural Building Coordinator — Brazil

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.

Are you looking for a purpose‑driven adventure that blends learning, hands‑on experience, and a commitment to a sustainable future? At Eco Caminhos, we're building more than just structures — we're constructing a community grounded in environmental regeneration and meaningful living. Join us in Nova Friburgo and be a cornerstone in our mission to create the Ecolibrium Center, which brings together a Permaculture School, Sustainable Restaurant, and Eco Accommodation.
