Sustainability
Our commitment to the environment is part of the essence of Eco Refúgio Cantareira and is aligned with important UN Sustainable Development Goals. These principles guide our daily practices, from food cultivation to the care of water, energy, climate and terrestrial life, guiding a welcoming experience in balance with nature.
Wastewater Management
Dry toilets and biodigester septic tanks: sustainable solutions that treat waste safely and in an integrated way with the environment, reducing impacts and preserving the surrounding nature.

Gestão de resíduos
Reducing, separating, recycling, and composting responsibly reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills. This continuous care transforms waste into new resources and protects the environment around us.

Construção Consciente
Reused, recycled, and eco-friendly materials, taking advantage of the climate and natural orientation of the land to avoid waste without sacrificing comfort and coziness. Spaces designed and built by ourselves to respect the surrounding environment.

Expedição EcoAventura
An ecological immersion for children and teenagers, where sustainability is learned in a practical, playful, and truly meaningful way. The Cantareira Eco Refuge becomes a living open-air laboratory, in an affective and sensory encounter with the earth, food, and the cycles of life.

Energia Limpa
A system of photovoltaic panels (solar energy) that guarantees clean and renewable energy throughout the space, reducing impacts and strengthening our commitment to sustainable practices.

Gestão Hídrica
Rainwater harvesting, conscious consumption, and greywater reuse to reduce consumption and maintain the natural cycle in balance. A practice that ensures responsible supply and preserves our resources throughout the year.

Produção Artesanal e Ciclo Sustentável
Handmade processes and a productive cycle that originates from and returns to the land. Organic processes and care for the animals, integrating each stage into a circular system that nourishes the space and those who pass through it.

Positive Impacts
Practices that preserve resources, prevent contamination, reduce pollution, and strengthen biodiversity, generating real benefits for nature and the community. Continuous care that protects the Serra da Cantareira and inspires awareness in those who pass through here.
