The Peroba house is part of an ecological educational project called CASA Ecológica Paraty, it's letters representing: Connection, Learning, Sinergy, and Warm Welcome. We promote tourism and living in balance with oneself, others, and the environment. The property, which includes the Peroba house, encompasses two other spaces, the Ipê house, and the new chalet, which also may be rented.
We live onsite with our sweet cat - Cuica and enjoy welcoming guests into our home. We are available whenever needed to help with anything around the property or to give tips on local attractions or how to get around. We can help with off-the-beaten-track waterfalls, hikes and beaches, vegetarian restaurant options, setting up taxi rides or transfers, or low-impact tours (sailboat, kayak, bike).
Caring for the environment is part of our daily routine, and we invite guests to do the same, recycling their trash and disposing of food scraps in the compost and worm bins, and taking care to reduce water use and electricity. We ask that you use only biodegradable soaps and conditioners, as well as our natural cleaning products whenever possible. The homes were built using ecological materials like bamboo and recycled wood, as well as principles for conserving energy use and reducing wastes. We have a banana sewage treatment system, a green roof, solar panels for electricity, and solar hot water system. We occasionally promote workshops throughout the year in the areas of well-being, healthy cooking, and permaculture. If you are interested in these subjects, please feel free to ask for more information.
When you choose the C.A.S.A Ecológica you are supporting low-impact tourism and are part of the solution for a sustainable future!
