  Description

  🇬🇧 English
  
  Hi, I’m Ignacio. I live on a one-hectare property in a private community in Pirque, about 45 minutes south of Santiago.
  The place includes a main house, a comfortable guest cabin, gardens, trees, and plenty of space to create things (and get your hands a bit dirty).
  
  At the moment, the focus is on restoring the house and land:
  forest cleaning, organizing spaces, light construction, painting, general maintenance, and preparing the property for summer and New Year.
  
  I’m looking for easy-going travelers who want to exchange a few hours of help per day for a stay in the cabin, shared meals, and a calm, creative, no-rush atmosphere.
  
  This is not a touristic project or heavy construction — it’s real countryside life, slower rhythms, good conversations, and nature, very close to Santiago.
  
  If you enjoy outdoor work, practical learning, and living a few days away from noise, this could be your place.

  Hola, soy Ignacio. Vivo en una parcela de una hectárea en una comunidad privada en Pirque, a unos 45 minutos al sur de Santiago.
  El lugar tiene una casa principal, una cabaña cómoda para huéspedes, jardines, árboles y bastante espacio para crear (y ensuciarse un poco las manos).
  
  Por estos meses el foco está en restaurar la casa y el terreno:
  limpieza de bosque, orden de espacios, pequeñas construcciones, pintura, mantenimiento general y preparación del lugar para el verano y Año Nuevo.
  
  Busco viajeros tranquilos, con buena disposición, que quieran intercambiar algunas horas de ayuda al día por alojamiento en la cabaña, comidas compartidas y un ambiente relajado, creativo y sin apuros.
  
  No es un proyecto turístico ni una obra pesada: es vida real en el campo, con ritmo lento, buena conversación y contacto con la naturaleza, muy cerca de Santiago.
  
  Si te gusta trabajar al aire libre, aprender cosas prácticas y vivir unos días fuera del ruido, este puede ser tu lugar.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I love meeting people from different cultures and practicing my English.
  We can cook together — I enjoy making local Chilean food and also some dishes I learned while traveling in Asia.
  You’ll experience everyday life in a peaceful Chilean countryside setting, and I’m always happy to share stories, music, and good conversations.

  Help

  We’re looking for a friendly and responsible traveler who enjoys outdoor work and doesn’t mind getting their hands a bit dirty.
  Most of the help needed is around the house and garden — keeping the place clean and organized, collecting trash, trimming the grass, maintaining the garden and outdoor areas, and helping to keep the property tidy.
  
  We also have some fun ongoing projects, like creating small walking paths through the forest area and improving the landscape. Depending on your skills, we might also work together on small building or maintenance tasks.
  
  You’ll usually work side by side with me, and we’ll share ideas, meals, and good conversations. It’s a calm place surrounded by nature — perfect if you like to stay active while enjoying peace and quiet.

  Accommodation

  Workawayers will stay in a small private cabin with a comfortable single bed, bathroom, and a place to store clothes. It’s cozy, quiet, and surrounded by nature.
  
  The main kitchen is in the main house, and we also have a big outdoor area with a quincho — great for barbecues, meditation, or exercise.
  
  The property is almost one hectare, inside a private and secure community in Pirque. You can walk freely around the land or explore the nearby hills. It’s a peaceful and safe place to relax after a day of outdoor work.
