Visit Us!

and meet the neighbors

Iracambi-2000-521x320Iracambi's work has been enriched by hundreds of visitors, volunteers, researchers and interns, who provide us with ideas, energy, ingenuity and hard work. We've had over 500 visitors from 38 countries. Much of our success is due to our visitors sharing experiences and ideas with our local communities, learning new skills, making lifelong friends, and ultimately, saving forests and changing lives.

We have four categories of visitors:

  • volunteers, who come to lend a hand in the forests, tree nursery and local communities
  • researchers, who conduct biological, socio-economic, agrarian or economic research
  • interns, who undertake specific tasks to meet requirements for professional or academic qualifications
  • ecotourists, who come to discover the rich bird-life, fauna and flora of the Atlantic Rainforest, and enjoy a taste of rural life.
Come experience the warm heart of Iracambi! And if you can't make it here, how about joining the Global Iracambista Volunteer Corps and doing your bit from the comfort of your own home?
