Help around my farm while getting to know local culture Cochrane, Chile

  Descripción

  Hello, my name is Lilli, I am German, and I have been living in this remote corner of Chilean Patagonia for over 25 years. My farm is located in the Aysén region, 55 km south of Cochrane on the Carretera Austral, in a 100% rural setting. We sustain ourselves from what we produce on the farm: animals, the forest and the garden. During the summer, we offer rural tourism services. We have no phone signal, and electrical power is limited (12V). Transportation to Cochrane can be coordinated with us (a combination of public and private transport). It's the perfect place to slow down, disconnect, and take the time to experience this more natural and simpler way of life. I offer a minimum stay for workawayers of 1 day and a maximum of 2 weeks. (This restriction is in place to avoid committing for a longer period since we live and work in a family environment. If things go well, it's possible to extend your stay.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We lead a simple life and strive to live as much as possible off our own land. Therefore, depending on the season, you can learn various skills with us, such as preserving food, tanning hides, spinning and weaving wool, chopping firewood, baking bread, and cultivating your own seeds, etc

  Ayuda

  I can almost always use help on my farm. From October 2023 to April 2024, there isn't a specific project in place, but this gives us the opportunity to choose tasks that appeal to our helpers and what might be most urgent at the time. I'm especially excited about self-reliant and strong craftswomen and craftsmen who can do wonders with the resources available

  Alojamiento

  For volunteers, we offer accommodation in our Refugio and campground, which includes a kitchen, two bathrooms, and potentially shared bedrooms with other Workawayers or guests of the shelter. Those who come with their own motorhome or bring a tent can also use the refugio, which is located 250 meters from our house. Depending on the season, there may also be a bedroom available for a Workawayer in my house. Meals are prepared together, or volunteers can cook in the refugio's kitchen, depending on the situation and preference. We mainly eat what the countryside provides, and we bring some groceries from the small city Cochrane roughly once a week."

  To access my property, you need to cross the suspension-bridge over the Ñadis River. The maximum weight limit is 7 tons, and it can be quite narrow for very wide motorhomes

  Podría aceptar mascotas

  Yes and no, it depends a bit on the dog and also its owner. There are already 6 dogs on the farm that we need for farm-work, and sometimes there can be issues
