Description
We are a young French couple, Charles et Hermine, who came to Jujuy, a state located in north west Argentina in 2021 to take over the management of the family finca. Both barely two thirty old, with a little baby arrived in Argentina, we live in this finca of 2400 hectares of jungle-forest in the Yungas.
We are located in the middle of mountains covered by a luxuriant vegetation, with a rich biodiversity: more than 600 species of birds and also wild animals, like the peccary, tapir, monkey kai, puma, etc. Several gauchos live in the finca, in a traditional way, in the middle of their cows in semi-liberty.
We have built two lodges out of massive logs, equipped with all the conveniences to receive travellers in a wild and preserved environment, with a personalized service. Here, travellers enjoy an unforgettable experience: sleeping in a cabin with a panoramic view of the Yungas mountains, taking a bath in a private ecological Jacuzzi, exploring jungle trails or sampling traditional French cuisine.
We offer private jungle excursions for these travelers, horseback riding and hiking, and are looking for Workawayers to accompany groups with our local guide.
Actually, we have 3 locally paid staff for our hospitality activity. They are in charge of the cleaning of the lodges, the security of the place and to make the excursions.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

We provide 3 meals a day, shared with the staff or the guests. The volunteer have access to the kitchen and full wifi.
Workawayers will have the opportunity to meet the gaucho families living in the finca, and share moments with them. They will be happy to teach you how to lasso a calf.
During your stay at the lodge, you will be able to discover the jungle-forest of the Yungas, and all its wild landscapes: mountains, waterfalls, lush vegetation, etc.
During the daily tasks, we share the know-how: how to cook with a wood oven, to prepare an asado (Argentinian grill), the techniques of construction in adobe.Aide

We provide accommodation in adobe casita. there are twho single beds. The bedroom could be shared with an another volunteer. We provide bed linen, a shared bathroom.
Conditions are fairly rustic, which means: we're in the middle of the jungle, so we're quite isolated: banks and supermarkets are an hour's drive away.
No modern comforts: no air-conditioning, no domestic appliances (toaster, microwave, etc.). You have to light a fire to take a hot shower. And wash your clothes with a semi-automatic washing machine.
As for meals, no industrial products: nutella, potato chips, salami, etc. We cook only local fruit, vegetables, dairy products and meat. We bake our own bread.
Before you apply, consider that you'll have to leave occidental comfort behind for a few weeks.Autres infos...
The nearest village, Santa Clara, is 10 km from the lodge. There are a few small shops: grocery stores, kioscos bars, etc. You can get there from the lodge by taking the afternoon bus, and then return to the finca either with the evening bus or with one of the Santa Clara cabs.
Access: the finca is located 1h15 from San Salvador de Jujuy and 1h45 from Salta. To get there from these two cities, you have to take the bus to San Pedro de Jujuy, then once there, take the bus or the collective cab to Santa Clara.
