Description
We’re a small family that runs a B&B. We are located in Puerto Rio Tranquilo, in the middle of the Carretera Austral in the south of Chile. We speak german, english, and spanish.
We’re looking for volunteers to take care of the house, the garden and the greenhouse as well as creative projects. There are also occasional small woodworking projects or painting tasks to be done. Depending on your professions or talents, we’ll definitely find a task here that you’ll enjoy.
You’re welcome to bring all your talents to share here. If any of this interests you, feel free to contact us to learn more about us. Saludos -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We, the family are Sandra & Thomas and Mateo (15) plus our dog Schulz and chickens
You will help us a maximum of 5 hours per day, 5 days a week. And we will try to give you work according to your interests and skills
You can learn about self-sufficiency and how to make things work with what you have, even when resources are limited. We try to build, repair, grow, preserve and create things ourselves rather than simply buying everything we need -
