  Description

  Hi! My name is Lautaro and I'm a craft teacher at Waldorf School where I live, in Lago Puelo, Chubut, Patagonia Argentina. I've got two little sons, Fermín and Camilo. In this moment we're re-building our house, which was burnt in 2021, on a big fire. For our house we choose eco-construction: straw, wood and mud. We're located in a farm side, near the river, "Rio Azul". Near our place there are plenty of paths that lead you to the mountains, finding lots of trekking and beautiful landscapes.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  In every human encounter something unique is created. In sharing life we learn both. Travellers who choose this experience will certainly learn bio-construction, as well as having the opportunity to know the best places of our mountain paradise. We can exchange ideas regarding permaculture, antroposophy, pedagogy, spirituality, and as many more as you can imagine. We're a diverse family: a german clown, a musician, a yoga teacher, a crafting teacher and two curious children.
  
  En todo encuentro humano se crea algo único, en el compartir la vida aprendemos mutuamente. El viajero que elija esta experiencia aprenderá bioconstruccion en lo referente al trabajo que realizará; tendrá la oportunidad de conocer los rincones más bellos de la comarca, podremos intercambiar ideas sobre permacultura, pedagogias alternativas, antroposofia, espiritualidad, etc. Somos una familia muy diversa, una alemana clown, un músico, una profe de yoga, un maestro de oficios y dos niños muy curiosos.

  Accommodation

  You can stay in the house in process of building, with dry bathroom, outside shower, kitchen and electric light. Like an alternative I have two tents for them to use. We offer 3 daily meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner. The house is near a provincial route, where you can take a bus to different places, Bolson, Puelo, El hoyo, Epuyen. Near our site we have small markets, and we can lend you a bike to ride =).
  
  Se pueden quedar en la casa en construcción con baño seco, ducha exterior, cocina y luz. Tengo dos carpas, dependiendo de la cantidad de voluntarios que haya. Nosotros ofrecemos desayuno y dos comidas diarias. La casa está a 500 mt de una ruta provincial (N⁰16) donde pasan colectivos rumbo a El bolsón, el hollo, epuyen y rumbo al centro de lago puelo. Los comercios más cercanos están entre 1 y 2 km (tenemos una bicicleta!).
