  Description

  We are a French-Chilean family—Nils, Ana María, Nina, and Ayla—living in Pucón, Chile, a beautiful town rich in attractions and majestic nature. We currently need help in our garden and with clearing a wooded area; we also have a project to build a chicken coop and occasionally need some help tidying up the outdoor areas of the house. We also own a piece of land deep in the Chilean mountains (Añihuarraqui); we visit frequently in the summer to work on building our cabin and fixing up the outdoor kitchen—it’s a magical place. We love hosting people, cultural exchanges, and speaking different languages. Ana María is an amazing cook, so you’ll always enjoy delicious, organic meals! Food is very important to us. W
  All four of us are bilingual (Spanish-French), and Nils and I also speak English.
  We look forward to sharing our home with you and showing you the beauty of this place.

  What else ...

  We live on the way to the volcano, and it's not so easy to get there without a car, so most of the time it can be difficult to get around on your own. You might have to hitchhike, take a taxi, or use an Uber if for some reason we can't bring you in our cars.

  Vivimos camino al volcan, no es tan fácil llegar sin automóvil, por eso la mayoría de las veces puede ser difícil trasladarse solo. Puede ser a dedo o en taxi o uber si por alguna razón nosotros no podemos traerlos en nuestros autos
