  Description

  Hi! We are Chloe (from California) and Jona (from Argentina) after traveling for 4 years volunteering using workaway, we arrived at this old farm that we have been caring for more than a year. The space is 7 hectares in size, there are spacious meadows, a couple of streams, ponds, and access to the river. There is an active garden where we work daily and various fruit trees, and many corners to explore within the terrain.
  
  We do not own the space, it could be said that we are permanent volunteers. We have a nice relationship with owners who live in Buenos Aires. That gives us freedom to coordinate the type and time of work to our liking.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We learn by doing, exchanging permacultural knowledge, exchanging ideas for sustainable living. We were volunteers for a few years, and we want to give back the good experiences we had, welcoming people the best we can!

  Accommodation

  There are several interesting places to camp with a fire place nearby. We have a tent, light and blankets in case you don't have them.
  Inside the house there is a communal sturgeon with a bed for a first night, or some night with bad weather. Hot shower!
  
  In exchange for 5 hours of work 5 days a week we can provide 3 meals a day, mostly vegetarian ingredients from the farm, grains like brown rice or sourdough bread. We also eat meat once or week or so, though we are open to receive volunteers with specific diets, just let us know ahead of time. On the weekends we expect volunteers to help us by buying some extra ingredients though we always grow vegetables and salad greens in the garden.
  
  Hay varios espacios interesantes para acampar con un lugar de fuego cerca. Contamos con carpa, luz y mantas por si no disponen.
  Hay dentro de la casa un mini estudio de música comunal con una cama para una primer noche, o alguna noche de clima adverso. Ducha caliente!

  What else ...

  About a 10 minute walk from the farm there are a few stores where volunteers can buy different products. To get to the town of La Paz is about 40 minutes walking. There, in La Paz, there are more social activities, an atm, and more options to buy food and artesanias. The center of La Paz is also where the bus arrives and departs, there are also taxis/remis. We don't have a car.
  
  A 10m caminando se llega al "centro" de Loma Bola donde se pueden adquirir la diversos alimentos, a 40m caminando está el centro de la paz, donde se encuentra más actividad comercial Y social. Es a donde llega el bus, para tenerlo en cuenta (hay remis).
  No tenemos auto.
