Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The ranch belongs to an NGO and our goals are to combine production with conservation. We have cows, sheep and horses that we manage holistically as well as a diversity of scientific projects that study native and exotic flora and fauna.
You will be in touch with the local gauchos (cowboys) and the family that live on the farm.

You will stay in a cute cabin that has 2 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. It is possible that you will share the cabin with other volunteers. You cook your own food and we give you a basket weekly with groceries. The volunteer program runs from sep- march and we require a minimum stay of one month.
What else ...
If you are looking to settle down for a while, like nature, work hard and like animals this is truely a great ranching experience .
We are very close to Bariloche and Dina Huapi (extension of Bariloche) where you can find supermarkets, post office, drugstore and ATM. A bus goes from Dina Huapi to Bariloche every 20 minutes.
The surroundings of Bariloche offer extensive hiking paths and all other outdoor related activities.
