    About our project & what we offer

    Come improve your skills in organic gardening and sustainable living while exploring the wild beauty of Patagonia Norte! We are Arturo & Claudia, and this is our beloved family project. We run a small, sustainable lodge located deep in the mountain range of southern Chile, far from the hustle and bustle of cities and towns. Our home operates entirely on clean energy, and we are deeply committed to protecting our pristine natural surroundings.

    During your stay, you will become a true part of our mountain staff. You will help us with the daily care of our organic greenhouse, our kitchen garden (orchard), the cellars, and the general maintenance and recovery of our green areas. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn firsthand from experts in organic cultivation and sustainable ecosystem management.

    What you will experience in your free time
    When you are not helping out, you will have plenty of time to explore this paradise. Surrounded by ancient forests, crystal-clear lakes, and rivers, you can go mountain biking, hiking, or trekking right from our doorstep.

    More than just extra hands, we are looking to share knowledge, enjoy good conversations around the fire, and build lasting friendships.

    Who we are looking for
    If you have a deep love for nature, positive energy, plenty of enthusiasm, and a proactive mindset, we would love to welcome you to our mountain home. Bring your boots, your smile, and your desire to learn!
