    Description

    We are a family of a Belgian, a half Chilean and Belgian, a half Belgian Turkish and a Turk. Our land is 3500 sq meter in a small village called Las Lomas in the pre cordiera 30km from San Clemente in Maule Region. We build a small straw bale house and still doing the finishing touches. At the moment our project ( what we need help with) is building a kitchen and a living area with wood. We’re looking for someone who has construction experience. We have very tasty drinking water which comes from a source. You will stay in your tent. we have lots of tent place. Surroundings are good for hiking, biking . We’re 10km from Salto de la Placeta where you can refresh yourself.
