  Description

  English
  
  We are a group of friends with a vision for creating an eco-neighborhood that welcomes apprentices, volunteers, interns, and professional workers in bioconstruction and agroforestry. We are in the gestation stage of the project, so we are very active and focused on the project all day long. We foster a simple and loving coexistence.
  
  Sometimes we are 2 or 3 people in the winter and sometimes 16 or 20 in the summer. The physical community is formed by volunteers, neighbors, and friends who are beginning to build their homes.
  
  The name of our project means "settle down" in Guaraní and refers to the moment when the Tupi Guaraní, a traveling nomadic community, arrived in the region of the Yguazu Falls, connecting with its abundance, and thus settled as a tribe. Likewise, this place was created with a sense of travel and is on the path to becoming a small, abundant, nomadic, regenerative, revolutionary, educational, experimental, and intentional community.
  
  - Objectives
  To produce as much food and abundance as possible.
  To generate productive systems of economic, social, and environmental abundance.
  To interact with neighbors to generate agroforestry agrarian reform in the region.
  To disseminate education and empower people so they have the necessary tools to create abundant and fulfilling lives for themselves.
  To have time and space for the people who live in the project to develop and develop their human selves.
  
  Areas of educational activities and work
  - Agroforestry
  - Houses in bioconstruction
  - Food and medicine production
  - Permaculture educational center
  
  - Daily routine
  Although the farm undergoes transformations in its organization week by week, we are adapting and generating new proposals; This would be a classic flow during the day:
  
  Night before: For us, the day begins after dinner, when we organize the next day. Afterwards, we rest well, knowing that a day full of activities awaits us.
  6 or 7: Meet at the barbecue area for final organization of the day and start of activities.
  Start of the day and activities
  11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.: Wrap up creative and work activities.
  1:15 p.m. Lunch
  2:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.: Personal projects, study spaces, shared workshops, or community activities on the farm.
  8:00 p.m. Early dinner. Meet at the barbecue area where we take stock of the day and plan the day ahead.
  
  MEALS
  Food is generally 50% local and 50% purchased in town. We strive for a hearty, balanced diet.
  There is a variety of grains, legumes, farm fruits, and vegetables. One animal protein per day, which we rotate between eggs, cheese, and meats from local fish or beef.
  We share kitchen shifts, and we all clean all the communal spaces together for the 40 minutes after lunch. This time does not count toward daily work activity time. It's a shared living arrangement.
  Breakfast. You can have breakfast at the beginning of the day or during the day, always coordinating with your team.
  Breakfast is as self-managed as possible, with granola, bread, pancakes, or cookies prepared the day before, complemented by seasonal fruit and a sweet treat.
  
  AMENITIES
  - BBQ area, community house with beds (8 spots), camping area, dry toilets, and showers.
  - WIFI, HOT SHOWER, REFRIGERATOR, BLENDER, AND COMPLETE DISHES
  - RIVER 600 METERS FROM THE FARM
