Description
Hola!
We are a chilean family of 3 living in the countryside on a 600 hectare plot of land. On our property, we have fruit trees, flower beds, lawns, a kitchen garden and a large enclosure for goats that are around in the winter and spring. We also have chickens, many cool cats and chill dogs. The surrounding area is farmland and small forests, with beautiful valley landscapes. The nearest village, Catemu, is 3 kilometers away and the nearest town, Llay Llay, is 15 kilometers away. Catemu is 100 kms away from Santiago de Chile and 100 kms away from the beach, specifically from Valparaiso and Viña del Mar.
We love learning about other cultures so we hope you will share some of yours with us!
Hospitality and cultural interaction are the essential values for our family so you will be actively involved in our daily life. We are happy to share our knowledge and experiences with you.Types of help and learning opportunities
