    Description

    On the Isla Puluqui we have a lodge where we receive guests between the months of December to March who want to know the area, sailing on a sailboat. For this we have two sailing boats, barbecue area and a nice cottage for six persons just in the beach.

    Our family is responsible for addressing and receiving guests during their stay and navigation.
    I am interested in receiving volunteers and very cheerful spirit of social cooperation, willing to help the local people, sharing with them and knowing their customs and realities, so that they can also help improve their living conditions. Our work area extends from the Lakes Region to Chiloe. Land and sailing trips, from one to five days. Preferably we receive young men and women to respect the normal rules in a family. Fitness and health should be compatible with outdoor activity and water sports. The high season is from December to March.

    If you believe that you can cooperate in this initiative please contact us to arrange dates that you need for it.
    We appreciate all the help, advice and experience that you can provide us.

    Living in Puluqui Island will allow you also to learn about the customs and local cuisine, visit in your free time, places like: Calbuco, Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas, Frutillar, Chiloe Island, Lake Llanquihue and Todos Los Santos.


    This season Nov- Apr
    We are looking for either a couple or two persons to help during the season from November on.

    Task 1. To take care of the transportation of guests from the island to the continent and back to the island when needed, in a motor boat (20 minutes trip), also to help with the cleanning of the beach, gardening and general maintenance.

    Task 2. To help with the daily management of the hostel, meaning cleaning, serving breakfast, some cooking and assist guests when needed.

    Volunteers need to be social, assertive, joyful and active. Your main task will be to take care of the guests and be there for them whenever they need you. We request a minimum stay of two weeks.
