Informationen
Beschreibung
Pemehue Valley is a mountainous, rural location in the Araucanía Region, south of Chile, stretching between the Malleco National Reserve and the Renaico River, distant 80 km from Collipulli, 700 km from Santiago. Still unknown and far beyond hustle, it is bound to be a quiet touristic destiny for trekking, photographing, wildlife observation and rest.
Weather has a four-season pattern ranging from snowy short periods to hot summerly days.
Monse (designer, gardener, silversmith) and Niccolo (engineer, communications, photographer, carpenter) have decided ten years ago to move from Santiago to Pemehue, build their house, workshops and make a living out of craft beer production, vegetable gardening and whatever can be raised from their land. Trying to live a sustainable life.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Attending community meetings and activities will provide a vision of social needs and local culture; we are active participants in local organisations.
Workwise, the duties to fulfil will provide understanding and practice on the specific tasks: wood construction, farming and beer production. We have been and are fairly good teachers.
Projekte mit Kindern
Dieses Projekt schließt möglicherweise den Umgang mit Kindern ein. Mehr Informationen findest du in unseren Verhaltensregeln und Tipps hier.
Arbeit
Craft beer production involves pre and post cleansing, beer cooking, bottling, labelling, packaging; and sometimes, participating in beer festivales and fairs.
Orchard care and farming; trail design and construction; general surveillance.
Woodwork: we have a nice carpentry to do our own furniture and building needs.
IMPORTANT STATEMENT:
We try to comply with the "5 hours a day, 5 days a week" minimum request from volunteers although we ourselves usually work more hours and cannot stop for a weekend since life in the countryside demands constant attention: you cannot explain the dogs, the chicken, the plants not to get eating or water everyday. We will appreciate it if you are willing to help us longer but it is not compelling.
Also, brewing is a process which demands at least eight hours of non-stop attention; when we cook beer —about four days on a month— we have to go through the whole process.
We do not consider the house chores (cooking, dishing, keeping the house minimum clean, feeding the dogs and chicken) part of the work hours but as normal daily life tasks which we share with volunteers. This should be obvious but don't want to have misunderstandings.
Spanish is helpful for an overall cultural experience but not necessary for specific tasks since Monse and Niccolo are fluent in English, Italian and some French. and we love to be helpful in teaching and share our most knowledge.

Was noch ...
There is a rustic therms 3 km from home; the nearest village, Amargo, is 25 km away. A local bus leaves 6:00 AM to Collipulli and returns 3:00 PM Monday-Friday. Trekking, mountain climbing, cycling, river bathing are the main local time out activities. Several peaks and volcanos are visible from the mountain tops. Trails lead to creeks and small lakes surrounded by Araucaria forests. Eco fishing, bird watching and, if lucky, meeting the puma.
Depending on our work schedules, we could provide traveling to nearby cities and participation in beer festivals.
Regarding covid, Pemehue is way out of the beaten track and Chile is one of the leading countries in vaccination; so our volunteers will be quite safe and free to move on an open wide space.

Nico and Montserrat are very lovely and interesting people. Their house and brewery are located in one of the most amazing landscapes. I learned a lot about the beer making process and got to drink lots of beer too 😁 Nico is a great cook by the way! Miss their cute dogs and the views!
El lugar es precioso, la comida riquísima, y la familia muy amistosa, cada uno con ganas de compartir conmigo! Me sentí muy bien acá y voy a llevarme muy muy buenos y queridos recuerdos de mi estancia. ¡Entonces lo recomiendo!

It was my first Workaway job and it was just perfect to escape from everyday life at home. Their house is so lovely, like the whole area around. There was a bedroom and a bathroom for me alone and I really enjoyed the food.

First of all the location is amazing. It's very isolated. So if you want to escape from the big hustle and bustle it's perfect. Lots of mountain terrain to hike on your days off.
