    Description

    Hello, my name is Cecilia, I live in the countryside, on the way to the Huerquehue National Park, it is a very beautiful and quiet place. I have a nursery, I am dedicated to the reproduction of plants from seeds. I am very interested in the medicinal part of native and exotic plants. There are many lakes, rivers and hot springs near here, surrounded by mountains where you can go for a walk and enjoy nature.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The rural area of ​​Paillaco is 35 km from Pucon. It is a nursery where we sell, produce and reproduce ornamental and medicinal plants, so you can learn to identify them, learn about their uses and their forms of reproduction and cultivation.
    I am exclusively dedicated to plants and I do not have pets or farm animals. The place is very peaceful and the landscape from my space is amazing. I can offer guided walks with identification of native plants from the mountain forest and some typical birds. I really enjoy cooking and I have a wood stove to offer typical Argentine food.
    The space is large and you can put up a tent in different parts of the land to make it more practical and depending on weather conditions (in extreme cases I can offer accommodation inside the house). The bathroom and kitchen of my house are available to volunteers.
