General Information

A membership in WWOOF Portugal enables you to travel to WWOOF hosts all around Portugal.

The Model

Visitors to the website are able to see information, presentations and photos from all Portugese hosts. However to be able to take part in the WWOOFing experience you must become a member. Membership gives you access to hosts’ contact information and from there, arrangements can be made.

Upon contacting a host, (snail mail, telephone or email) tell them a little bit about yourself and why you would like to WWOOF on their farm. You do not need to speak Portuguese to visit a farm, most of the hosts speak good English and often other languages as well. Anyway WWOOFing is a good way to practice some Portuguese!

If you set a date to visit a host and then find you cannot make it, please contact the host to let him/her know.
