Description
We are two friends in charge of this project. We are working to restore this place with horses (that's the main focus), construction, cattle, vegetable gardens, and art workshops. The place has been unoccupied for two years, so there's a lot to fix. We're looking for anyone who truly wants to beautify a place, do something for it, and is committed to the idea. This space is located in the rural countryside of the old Mariquina Valley, alongside the Cruces River, an important tributary of the waters that flow to Valdivia, the regional capital of Los Ríos. It's part of the old apple orchards used for making traditional chicha (a fermented beverage). We have 16 horses, 30 cattle, 5 dogs, and 5 chickens on the property, as well as fruit trees: apple, rosehip, cherry, quince, peach, and native species like maquis, myrtle, and murta. And many more. We will work together freely, depending on each day's skills and energy levels. The idea is for them to feel like residents, not just workers who have to put in five straight hours every day. Everything can be discussed and arranged. The goal is for them to feel comfortable, free, and spontaneous. They will learn about the countryside, the area, and how to interact respectfully with the horses and cows when we milk them. We will create spaces to develop their creativity: painting, woodworking, gardening - anything to express what they feel while they are here.
We are a space in recovery and restoration. Anyone who wants to help create a place is welcome. Together we will improve coexistence.
somos dos amigos a cargo del proyecto , estamos trabajando en recuperar este lugar con caballos (es lo principal ), construccion, vacunos , huertas. talleres de arte. el lugar estuvo sin gente por dos años, entonces hay muchas cosas por reparar, el que llegue q tengas ganas de verdad en hermosear un lugar, hacer algo por el lugar comprometido con su idea, este espacio .esta inserto en el campo rural del antiguo Valle de Mariquina, acompañado por el cauce del rio Cruces importante afluente de las aguas que llegan a Valdivia, Capital Regional Los Ríos. Forma parte de las antiguas quintas de manzanas para elaboración de la chicha patrimonial.
El campo están con nosotros 16 equinos, 30 vacunos, 5 perros y 5 gallinas, además arboles frutales manzanos, rosamozqueta , cerezos, membrillos, durazno y nativos maquis arrayan ,murta. Y muchos mas.
Trabajaremos juntos y libres dependiendo de las habilidad y energía de cada dia..la idea es que sean como un habitante mas y no un trabajador que deba cumplir 5 horas de corrido el mismo día, todo se puede ir hablando y acomodando. la idea q se sientan bien y libres espontáneos y respetando las ideas originales del lugar aprenderán del campo , de la zona , con los caballos interactuar de formar respetuosa y también con las vacas cuando sacamos leche, generar los espacio para desarrollar la creatividad. pintura madera, jardinería todo lo que sea para expresar lo que sientan en su momento de estar acá.
somo un espacio en recuperación y en reparación, el que tenga ganas de levantar un lugar con creatividad bienvenido. asi juntos mejoraremos la convivencia
