Description
We are a family that lives in Chile in the south of Tierra del Fuego on the shores of Lake Fagnano. We are surrounded by beautiful landscapes next to the Darwin mountain range. In the summer we work in tourism, renting cabins and we also work with a little sheep and chickens. The place is located 330 kilometers from the nearest city, which is Porvenir in Tierra del Fuego. It is a place isolated from civilization, it can only be accessed by land with a 10-hour trip from the city of Punta Arenas. It is a very cold place in winter, the average temperature is between -7 degrees Celcius and 7 degrees. It is a place of wild nature with a lot of flora and fauna. The heating is with wood. The place has a museum that tells the history of southern Tierra del Fuego.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Get to know the south of Tierra del Fuego Chile. Know the field work and have a very quiet place to spend the winter.The first week you can practice Spanish because we will be there, but after that we have to go to Punta Arenas for medical check-ups. Being in the place you have the possibility of hiking in the area. You have the opportunity to connect with nature because there is no television or technology in the place. You can be the owner of your time not neglecting the feeding of the animals and care of the place.
Help
Help is requested in feeding domestic animals such as chickens, dogs and cats. And also take care of the place. In winter no tourists come, that's why it's just to take care.The volunteer must cut their own firewood, prepare their own food, when they need to connect to the internet they must turn on the generator that delivers electricity, they must take care of the place, especially take daily walks to look at the sheep, feed the chickens and collect the eggs. . Feed the dog and the cat. Every two days or when it deems convenient to communicate via WhatsApp to report how it is. Once you arrive at the place you cannot go anywhere to buy anything because it is isolated from any city
