Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The experience of learning in theory and above all in practice how to use the materials that we dispose of the land to build beautiful places in harmony with the environment, learn about caring and be part of the formation of the edible forest and share and learn from the different travelers, teachers and characters that share in the transition of this space.
And of course... enjoy a unique place, a valley in the desert, with a night sky full of stars, and much production of pisco and wine, in a very quiet place with lots of nature and peace around.
La experiencia de aprender en la teoria y sobretodo en practica como usar los materiales que disponemos de la tierra para construir lugares hermosos en armonia con el entorno, Aprender sobre el cuidado y ser parte de la formacion del bosque comestible y compartir y aprender de los distintos viajeros, maestros y personajes que comparten en la transicion de este espacio.
