    Description

    Hi, I'm Hugo and I live with my partner Claudia. We are in the process of setting up a bus as our home, in Dalcahue- Chiloé.
    We live in the city of Castro, in the downtown sector, and on weekends we go to work in the field in our project, which is located in a rural environment with forest in the middle of native forest.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    From our home, they can access any place in Chiloé since we are on the main route. The field work in which we need help is carried out during the weekends since each of us works at our jobs during the week. On weekends we travel by vehicle, we help on projects during the day and then we return to Castro, the idea is that they can accompany us. During the week I would have free time to explore Chiloé.

    Desde nuestro hogar, pueden acceder a cualquier lugar de Chiloé pues nos encontramos en la ruta principal.
    El trabajo de campo en el cual necesitamos ayuda, se realiza durante los fines de semana ya que en la semana cada uno trabajamos en nuestros empleos. Los fines de semana nos movilizamos en vehículo, trabajamos en el día y nos quedamos en el campo, la idea es que nos puedan acompañar. Durante la semana tendría el tiempo libre para recorrer Chiloé.
