    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here you can learn about renewable energy and bioconstruction. Surely you can participate with our social life and ways of living. To live very near the sea gives volunteers a clear idea about Uruguaian life and culture.

    Aqui puedes aprender sobre energía renovable y bioconstrucción. Seguramente puedes participar con nuestra vida social y nuestros modales. Vivir muy cerca del mar les da a los voluntarios una idea clara sobre la vida y la cultura uruguaya.

    This is an eco-tourism project. The entire place works on solar energy and extracts water from 75m below the complex.


    WOODWORKING: We built a majority of the buildings, the tables, and the chairs and we'd like someone to help us with building new furniture along with maintaining what we currently have. We have a woodworking area right on the complex. You can spend part of the day creating and the other part at the beach or exploring the local area.


    We also need your help to maintain this beautiful place, sometimes helping with the guests, sometimes with gardening, sometimes with general maintenance of the complex.

    Necesitamos su ayuda para mantener este hermoso lugar, a veces ayudando con los clientes y, a veces con la jardinería.
