  • Description

    Description

    We are a Self-sustaining community / Eco-Village looking for new settlers and helpers. We would like to achieve as much as possible ourselves and are therefore happy to welcome visitors and perhaps also future settlers who have experience in handicrafts, agriculture, permaculture and similar.
    Right now we are a group of three friends and are already planting a lot, both agriculture and permaculture.
    The plan is, to sell vegetables and fruits in the future.
    Nearby are several small villages, rivers, lakes, mountains and waterfalls.
    So there is a lot of nature to discover, wander around, have a swim, play Pici or soccer with the neighbours or have a drink in one of the many bodegas.

    We offer a place to sleep in a shared house. We also have a tent that is set up to be perfectly dry, even when raining, with a proper mattress.
    You are also welcome to build a house together with us, we will provide all the materials.
    Soon we will have finished guest houses that can be used.
    Camping with a tent is always possible as well.

    We will of course offer healthy vegetarian food, most Ingredients are directly from our own planting.
    Everyone is free to help himself or eat together with us.
    Food will be provided by us.
    Because we are a vegetarian community, we do not like meat to be eaten on our land. Outside it is your business of course ;-)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We live in the countryside, surrounded by nature, with two streams and a spring on the property. You can do some hiking in the area or go to waterfalls. The nearest bigger city is half an hour away.
    Because health is very important for us and we also use our own manure to make fertilizer (Terra preta), we unfortunately can not accept anyone who regularly takes medication or has been vaccinated against C-19.
    We ask for your understanding regarding this topic.
