Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a Chilean family with experience working throughout Patagonia who finally decided to settle in our farm in Alto Palena, an ideal place to combine daily farm work and a quiet stay next to forests and rivers. Helping us in the daily tasks of the field will allow them to experience a diversity of tasks on a family scale with the sole objective of being able to share and feel what it is like to live among the mountains of Patagonia.
It is also possible for those who wish to share with the local community and nearby neighboring families and also visit or stock up in the small town of Palena (20 min).
Somos una familia chilena con experiencia en trabajos a lo largo de Patagonia que finalmente decidimos radicarnos en nuestro campo en Alto Palena, un lugar ideal para combinar trabajos diarios del campo y una estadía tranquila junto a bosques y ríos. Ayudarnos en las tareas diarias del campo les permitirá experimentar una diversidad de labores a escala familiar con el solo objetivo que puedan sentir lo que es vivir entre las montañas de la Patagonia invernal.
Además es posible para quienes deseen, compartir con la comunidad local, visitar o abastecerse en el pequeño pueblo de Palena localizado a 13 kms.Projects involving children
