Description
Hi,

My name is Raimundo, I am the founder of an agroecological community project that looks to empower local farmers using agroecological techniques of cultivating. Aswell as this project I am working on an experimental permaculture farm on my property. I need help on the farm and our community project! I am certain that you will really enjoy you time here.

We provide all our workawayers with food and a place to sleep!

Hope to hang out and learn from each other soon.

What's this?
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There are a lot of places around the world where the local culture has been left aside by local people and it has been packaged and commercialized for tourism. Curanipe is on that tipping point and day to day we are working to empower the local people by immersing ourselves in their culture, learning from their experiences and doing all we can to communicate the importance of a fossil free economy and how their local techniques of cultivation, house construction, fishing and handcraft is a real benefit to society and the key to being healthy and independent. By staying with us, you will experience this cultural exchange first hand and will learn all about the local cultures, its difficulties and its beauty.
Help
Im looking for people motivated in empowering local families on the importance of their culture and traditions. At the same time, being agriculture a key aspect of sustainable society, you would be helping on an experimental farm that has been degraded by pine tree plantations for several years and together we look to create a garden of eden using permaculture design. This may include all kinds of help, from building to gardening! The help wont be tough and we can accommodate the job type to what you feel comfortable doing.

Mi experiencia fue fantástica! Gracias Raimundo por la confianza, la paciencia y por transmitir con pasión todo lo que haces. No pude haber pedido más, todos me hicieron sentir muy cómoda y querida.
La estadía estaba planeada para unos días y me quedé un poco más, porque el calor que emanan todos es muy especial. Además del lugar; un sueño!

We have learned a lot of new things and had the freedom to work as much as we wanted, but wanted to work a lot as every new task was extreme interesting for us (working in the glasshouse, camping, working with vegetables,… read more

For a short time I was able to witness and be a part of a special project for local farmers near Curanipe. Raimundo, Erik Felipe and the others were all so nice and friendly.

Huertas a dedo! El mejor proyecto de workaway que conocí hasta ahora! Una idea y un concepto genial, impresionante y con mucho sentido. Solo participé unos días pero aprendí más que en otros voluntarios de más tiempo. Me encantaría volver un día. Conocí a Erik y Reimundo y son muy buena onda. Erik me enseñó todas las cosas de plantar con mucha… read more

The most epic part of our travels in Chile was with Raimundo and the crew! We spent 3 weeks here and made some pretty sweet friends that we wont forget! The majority of our time here was spent building the new office for the packaging of the vegetables and general office work. The office was right on the beach with a skate ramp out back, a 10/10… read more
