  Description

  A group of 3 Australian guys taking on a dream project in the most beautiful part of this amazing country. We are building a multi level structure from the ground up sitting on a hill overlooking the Oaxaca coast. This construction is taken on using traditional Mexican albañil methods and materials and most importantly conscious about our environment, community and waste.
  
  PLEASE NOTE: We do not host all year round, for this year we are only available between NOV '25 - MAR '26

  Aside from working on the construction, there are other areas we need help with including cooking, cleaning and basic maintenance of the camp. Running errands like picking up materials, supplies and food.
  If you can ride a motorbike this is definitley a plus! We have motorbikes that we can share for work tasks, and also rent for after hours use pending availability.

  Accommodation

  We can provide a tent, under a shaded area. This is also how the host is staying. There is an outdoor kitchen, shower, long drop toilet. We cook our food on a barbecue, daily breaky and lunch to be supplied, along with refreshments. There is also an abundance of restaurants within walking distance.

  What else ...

  You need to be able to handle camping fulltime, living a bit rough. The floor is dirt, the shower is outside, it can rain alot. But, the fire is warm, the people are real and the dream is alive.
