  • Description

    Description

    We live in the countryside between Villarrica - Pucón (15 minutes by car to each city) and 2 km from the main road, about a 15-20 minute walk.

    We are a retired couple, both teachers, although Egla still works at the school twice a week.
    We are very active and participate in various groups each week.
    Jorge is a retired english teacher and is the person you will be able to contact and help most of the time.

    We need help on our small farm with the grass, cleaning the chicken coop, and some minor construction.

    You can enjoy Lake Villarrica (a 20-minute walk), Villarrica National Park, hot springs, rafting, and various other activities around

    We only need your help for 4 hours a day, Monday through Friday. You'll have your own room and bathroom. Or, if you prefer, you can bring your own tent.
