Description
Greetings one and all.
I invite you to consider this unique experience in Buchupureo Chile helping to create an environment and develop a piece of land being mindful of nature, environment andsustainability,
This farm located in the beautiful coastal region of Nuble. A peaceful forested hillside with stunning elevated views overlooking Buchupureo (one of Chiles top surf breaks!) the small town and the surrounding countryside. The mountains are just a few hours away where there is plenty of hiking, water falls or snowboarding/ski.
You will be glamping out under the stars In a Tipi style tent or a safari style wall tent with wood burner. Tents and bedding are provided. There is a hot shower facility, a composting toilet, a kitchen facility and safe storage.
We will be cooking and eating together if you wish and also enjoying some meal times with a local family who have sustainably farmed these lands and fished these waters for Millenia, This is a great opportunity to learn their methods, integrate with the locals and learn more Spanish (if you wish to do so) Also there are some good restaurants and places to eat close by
By means of solar power, rainwater retention, landscaping with purpose, planting a food forest, constructing a geodesic dome green house and building with traditional and sustainable techniques like adobe (hey and earth) The aim is to create a magical, comfortable retreat which is self sustainable and off grid.
Previous experience is not required. Volunteers will most certainly take home with them new skill sets and a deeper knowledge in all aspects of building, permaculture and living ‘off grid’ Anyone with a trade, knowledge or professional experience to bring to the table would also be amazing.
Help hours will be 25 per week, approximately 5 hours per day in exchange for accommodation and food. depending on how good the surf is !
I am a very keen life long traveler / surfer, outdoors enthusiast, shape surfboards, hike, free dive, spearfish, music etc. So happy to share these things and arrange tours and experiences with the local community as well.
There are currently no Locally paid staff or employees
Thank you and I really look forward to hearing from you to plan your experience.
