    Description

    Va We have lived in the mountains for 5 years. It's a beautiful place with a spectacular waterfall and many trees. Part of the land is a forest reserve, so we have a forest where we can hike, enjoy a very wide view, and are surrounded by birds, animals, and fresh air. We are building an ecological project on our land that will allow us to welcome guests and show them the beauty of our region.

    We are currently expanding our house to make it larger and more welcoming. We have 6 dogs and 2 cats. Carolina, Alberto, Juan, Santiago, and Inés live in the house. Although we are not always there at the same time, we take turns depending on our work obligations.

    Carolina is a Pilates teacher who loves nature, exercise, and languages.
    Alberto is a civil engineer with extensive experience in construction, welding, and working with different materials and tools.
    Juan is an artist who masters various painting and nature drawing techniques.
    Santiago is a tour guide who knows the region and every site of interest.
    Inés is an administrator and Carolina's mother. She is an excellent cook and gardener. She is knowledgeable about plants and their medicinal uses.

    Being such a diverse group, with us, you can find a variety of opportunities to learn about nature and wildlife, animal care, construction, tool use, physical activity, and tourism. You can also practice Spanish, cook, and spend time with neighbors and friends.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We enjoy board games, sharing experiences, and sharing knowledge. Not everyone in the house speaks English, so we listen to Spanish most of the time. We also enjoy physical activity, hiking in the mountains, going to the waterfall, and working out. We have various resources for practicing. We do our shopping for the house in two nearby towns, so you can join us and interact with local people. You can also spend time with the various workers who work with us and develop your listening skills.

  • Help

    Help

    We need different types of help, given that we have many activities going on at the same time.
    House cleaning, gardening, and caring for the animals are the main tasks. These include gardening, harvesting fruits and vegetables, feeding the animals, and preparing food. These are tasks we do together with the people in the house.
    At the same time, we have construction activities, which involve local workers, but you can participate if you want to learn about construction with wood, cement, and other materials, painting and murals, and landscaping.

    We like board games, sharing experiences and knowledge. Not everyone in the house speaks English, so we hear Spanish most of the time. We also like to do physical activities, walking, and exercising.

    What else ...

    In your free time, you can hike and explore the mountains, we'll go on trips to the waterfall, exercise, or visit nearby towns.

    Because this is a small house, it's important to us to maintain order and cleanliness. Take care of your personal belongings and your personal appearance, and help us take care of the house, although you'll enjoy plenty of space around it.
