  Beschreibung

  I love nature and the outdoors and the idea that we can live our lives in harmony with nature. Our place in the countryside is located in an agricultural region about 130 kilometers out of the city of La Paz. Access is by highway and dirt road, and usually takes about 3 and 1/2 hours to get there from La Paz.
  My goal is to advance the agricultural aspect of this place by implementing organic farming, sustainable water use and a general holistic approach to the use of the land. Located in the subandean valleys at an altitude of about 2900 meter above sea level, they grow figs, apples, peaches and most other vegetables in this valley. I do not always live at this house, I go there often and this is the reason I am looking for someone that is very independant and can work alone.

  Unterkunft

  Accomodation are in a large century old house, with running water and electricity. There is no wifi service available, although cell phone connection is decent and thus can be used to access internet with the mobile data. You would be able to use one of the bedrooms in the house (bed, closet and nightable). The kitchen is fully equipped. You will have to prepare your own meals. I would provide food for a mostly vegetarian diet. Bathrooms have running hot water. Water is a scare resouces in these regions and must be used with consciously.
