The land
|
Ecovila Cunha is located in the coastal mountains above Parati, halfway (3 hours drive) between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. It is 3 km from the Parque Nacional da Serra da Bocaina, a protected reserve of the Mata Atlántica (coastal rainforest), and 15 km east of the town of Cunha. |

| The land consists of 15 alquieres (approx. 36 hectares or 90 acres) on the Rio Manso, a small, swift-flowing river. It includes meadows and forest, an orchard of 600 pear and plum trees, several springs, a pond, and a large seven-room stone house. Originally covered by the Mata Atlántica, about 2/3 of the land was cleared for agriculture at some point, and is currently in various stages of natural reforestation. |
