Description
On our regenerative ranch in Patagonia, you'll have the opportunity to experience rural life while surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. Workawayers are invited to support our daily activities in a collaborative and educational way. Tasks may include assisting with sheep herding, helping maintain corrals, learning about sustainable food production in our greenhouse, or supporting small repair and maintenance projects. These activities are designed to offer a hands-on experience while sharing knowledge and skills with our team.
Our ranch employs several locally paid staff. The owner oversees operations, a family member manages agrotourism activities, and another team member handles various tasks around the property. Workawayers will have the chance to interact with them and contribute in ways that enrich the cultural and learning exchange.
The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, with mountains, rivers, and open skies as your backdrop. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn, contribute, and connect with the unique environment and culture of rural Patagonia.
