  Description

  Hello!
  We are a small family with a 4-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, living for the past nine years on a little park of twelve hectares by the river, surrounded by the lush rainforest of Chilean Patagonia. Here we have created a place to connect with nature, take beautiful photographs, explore the forest trails, and find the peace and tranquility that Pachamama so generously offers.
  
  We are currently looking for kind and enthusiastic volunteers to join us in:
  
  House Sitting, reception, but especially
  assisting in trail maintenance, andc ceating fun features like signs, steps, and playful spots.
  
  In exchange, we provide cozy accommodation with all the essentials, a basket of food, and all the warmth of our family life. It’s very important to us that volunteers enjoy spending time with children and can easily get along with our family.
  
  If you’re looking for an authentic Patagonian experience, surrounded by rivers, forests, and community spirit – we would love to welcome you!

  Accommodation

  “We provide a private room in the reception house, with access to a bathroom and hot shower. We ask that you help keep these spaces tidy so visitors also feel welcome. While we enjoy sharing meals together, there’s often so much going on that it’s easier for you to prepare your own food in our fully equipped café kitchen.”
