Description
We are Monica and Filipo, we are based in Pelarco, Maule region. About 25 km from Talca. We live in the countryside and we carry out a community project that includes culture, sustainability, inclusion, mental health, etc. We lived for many years in Barcelona, Spain, and stayed in Chile after the Covid-19 pandemic. From that moment we began to shape this project, rescuing a traditional house of the Chilean countryside that is about 170 years old. This house is part of Pelarco's Heritage Route and is used for a variety of cultural and community activities. In addition, the space has an area where there is a swimming pool and hot tub, also a few meters away there is a river and it has been reforested with native trees.
We love to share with people who want to connect with nature and the tranquility that is breathed here, and also enjoy the beautiful views of the Descabezado volcano.
We need support, with work on the land and maintenance of the space in general in exchange for food and lodging.
In addition to us, there are two dogs, Liwen and Lanú, who like to walk to the river, a cat named Luna and a very vocal rooster.
