    Description

    Hi ! We are organising a big participative building project in the Andes (about one hour from Chilllan in Chile).
    We will be there as a family and with friends coming from different horizons. The site is within a beautiful wild forest, with views on a volcano, not far from water thermal sources and on the border of the Diguillin river. A little paradise.
    We invite anyone interested to join us at our base camp and be part of this great adventure in eco-construction.
    Started in November 2022, we're proud to see all this worg well done, and we will welcome everyone willing to give a hand in building wood frameworks, earth/straw walls, and¹ planting a comestible forest.
    Whether you are an expert or just curious, for a few days or a few weeks, any help is precious and we will be delighted to have you around.
