Hostel Pousada Ecoverde

Read all the reviews before making a decision. It is a scam. We are probably their biggest scam they pulled so far. They stole 10,000 reis or $2,000 US dollars from us. Lauro is in charge. Joel does not take any responsibility of Lauro’s and his actions. It is a fraud. I wrote a bigger review on Ecoverde tours. I do not want to spend time on this. But we wired a deposit of 10,000 reis for a prepaid tour. They wanted another 10,000 reis at the airport. A man will meet you with a phone. Nothing was paid. Lauro and Joel disappeared with 10,000 reis. We came to all the hotels/ pousadas and they requested full payment before we could enter our rooms. Ecoverde owe a lot of money to the hotels that Ecoverde deal with and they do not accept any tourists from Ecoverde without payment upfront in full. As we were trying to get our money back we talked to a lot of people and they all had the same feedback about this family: Lauro is a drug addict, Joel does not care and the family is a scam constantly asking for money for medical help for father, for wife, for Lauro and so on. Read other reviews carefully. You will see it all.
