NuMundo - Ecoaldeia de Janas

About.

“Ecoaldeia de Janas” (ecovillage located in Janas, Sintra) is a collective of individuals working together to build a centre for education on sustainability.

We have a network of volunteers, students, teachers and residents. We engage in different activities, such as organic farming, natural building, renewable energies, apiculture and traditional skills, through Permaculture design principles, cooperative local production and consumption and multicultural inclusion.

If you are looking for something different for a day, a special week-end or a whole week, whether with family or friends, “Ecoaldeia de Janas” is looking forward to welcoming you. Whether you are looking for a peaceful rest immersed in nature or interested in following the activities of our collective life, we are happy to extend our hospitality.

Our guests also enjoy to have organic meals with the team where they can meet diferent collaborators, guests and visitors and have interesting conversations. They also like to see all the project outside, natural buildings, ecosystem and our animals like the sheeps, pigs, chickens and the horse.

Being near Sintra, with its special micro-climate, and knowing the area really well we can also direct you or take you ourselves to visit magical places, magnificent historical sites and monuments and unsoiled beaches.
