  • Description

    Description

    Our passion is spreading local culture and way of living. Our farm is located near Chicoana, in the Lerma Valley, crib of tobacco plantations and Gaucho culture.

    We organise horse-riding excursions of various duration; from half day to 7 days, around our beautiful region. We also offer amazing asados (Argentinian BBQ) and overnight accommodation.

    In this scope, for us, the most important thing is to take care of our guests, so, apart from speaking languages (Spanish, English, German, French), we are also looking for friendly and sociable people who enjoy spending time with others and who are willing to help around the farm.

    So, although most tasks revolve around translation and food and table preparation for our guests, we also offer the chance to ride several times a week in order to guide our guests throughout the ride and to learn more about horses, riding and Gaucho culture itself.

    Volunteers are hosted in private rooms with bathroom and are offered all their meals. You will also have the chance to live on a working horse farm, surrounded by beautiful nature and, most of all, an amazing friendly family atmosphere.

    Help

    As mentioned in the description, we mostly need help translating for and looking after foreign tourists but tasks also include preparing the meals and setting the table. There is a fair bit of horse-riding involved (optional) so basic previous experience is a plus.
