We are a family of 4 living in Bariloche, Patagonia, Argentina. We are outdoor enthusiasts and we take advantage of all the things this region has to offer each and every season. We mountain bike, hike, paddle, swim, ride horses, motorbikes, ski, snowboard, backcountry ski, etc. We are a bilingual family, Dad (50) and children 10 and 12 being from Austin, Texas, USA and Mom (43) from Argentina.

We would like to offer lodging in a private cabin in the most touristy area of Patagonia: Bariloche, in exchange for any type of work related to our eco school project. We are aiming to open the doors of our school in March 2025 and before that we will be : building a geodesic dome structure and a wooden deck, cleaning up the land: tree trimming, prunning, etc planting an organic garden, arranging a chicken coop and decorating a classroom. Also moving furniture, creating a fire pit area, installing a small fence, etc. ADMIN WORK: We will be hiring teachers and enrolling students and running a fundraising campaing.

We have a rustic yet cozy cabin fully equipped for a couple or an individual right in our backyard. It is a lake front property on Beautiful Gutierrez Lake, in the heart of Bariloche. We are 15 min to the ski center, 25 min downtown, 20 min to the airport. The cabin has its own Internet, full kitchen, bathroom, deck and lake access. We have an outdoor cat. We don't allow pets in the cabin, no smoking. We don't provide food. You can borrow our bikes and or kayaks if we aren't using them. Our neighborhood is located by the trailhead of many amazing hikes, including Frey and amazing mountain bike trails. The lake is great for kayaking. We are also close to rock climbing areas. Supermarket is 8 min walking distance. Great coffee shop with good internet around the corner.
What else ...
During your time off, you could go explore the lake region, ride bikes, hike up to amazing refugios and explore other close by towns such as San Martin De los Andes, Villa La Angostura or El Bolson. If you like fishing and paddling, we have all the gear at the ready for you to enjoy. You could also take tango lessons downtown.
