    (Buen día 😊
    Estamos buscando un hombre con energía que venga a ayudarnos del 14/04/25 al 28/04/25. Si estás leyendo esto y estás disponible en esas fechas esperamos tu mensaje 🤠)
    Y también buscamos una pareja del 3/05/25 al 5/06/25. Si están disponibles en estas fechas esperamos su mensaje 😃

    Somos una familia con dos niños ( Valentino de 10 y Salvador de 8). Tenemos una casa de te, habitaciones para turistas y una huerta orgánica en la villa. Una aldea de montaña a 40km de San Martín de los Andes. Estamos a 1100 mts del Lago y 400 mts del río. Nos abastecemos de energía solar a través de paneles solares. Elaboramos nuestra pastelería y panadería todos los días. Hace unos años nos mudamos a nuestra casa nueva que aun nos falta terminar.
    Estamos siempre en la búsqueda de voluntarios que nos den una mano en lo que vayamos precisando, ya que la mayoria del mantenimiento, el orden y la limpieza la realizamos nosotros. Los esperamos

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You will meet an Argentine family, their language and their customs. The villa is a place where you can go hiking in the mountains, relax by the lake, observe the landscapes, do sports on the lake. In addition to enjoying the tranquility of the place. Each season has its charm: summer activities on the lake such as windsurfing, canoeing or swimming, autumn enjoying and walking observing the colors of the mountains, winter enjoying the snow, spring everything blooms and the fishing season begins (trout).
    It is an ideal place for photography, since there is no power line, the sky looks fantastic. As does the landscape and the birds that surround us.
    Depending on the time of year you can come to us and learn about our tasks.
    If you want, you can learn the tasks to run an organic garden.
    We believe that the greatest exchange is with other volunteers as well, since we try to have them from different countries and different languages ​​so that they can engage in conversations and learn from each other and get to know different cultures. They will be able to enjoy cultural exchange while living with other volunteers.

    ----

    Conocerán una familia argentina, su idioma y sus costumbres. Villa Meliquina es un lugar donde se pueden hacer caminatas por la montaña, descansar en el lago, observar los paisajes, hacer deportes en el lago. Además de disfrutar de la tranquilidad del lugar. Cada estación tiene su encanto: verano actividades en el lago como el windsurf, andar en canoa o nadar, otoño disfrutar y caminar observado los colores de las montañas, invierno disfrutar de la nieve, primavera todo florece y comienza la época de la pesca (trucha).
    Es un lugar ideal para la fotografía, ya que al no haber tendido eléctrico, el cielo se ve fantástico. Al igual que el paisaje y las aves que nos rodean
    Según la época del año pueden acercarse a nosotros y aprender de nuestras tareas.
    Si quieren pueden aprender las tareas para hacer funcionar una huerta orgánica.
    Creemos que el mayor intercambio lo tienen con otros voluntarios también, ya que intentamos que sean de distintos países y distintos idiomas para que puedan entablar conversaciones y aprender entre todos y conocer distintas culturas.
    Podrán disfrutar del intercambio cultural en la convivencia con otros voluntarios.

    Help

    We need volunteers who like the mountains and tranquility, since we live in the villa, a wild place in Neuquen, Patagonia Argentina.
    The tasks we need help with are sorting wood, arranging materials that are scattered around the land, painting furniture and wood for the cladding of the new tea house, helping us install the cladding, arranging firewood, clearing the garden, preparing compost, among other tasks that will arise at the time.
    We are always willing to teach whatever is necessary.

    We are interested in learning about different life stories, trips, learning other languages, there are almost always more than two volunteers and we try to have them from different countries so that they can speak in different languages. Most of them learn a lot this way 😉. We are also interested in learning about yoga.
    They can also help us by playing with our children when we are busy.
    We believe that the willingness they bring to do what we need and share moments with us is super important 🤗.
    We really like it when they are clean and tidy because sometimes we don't have the time but that helps a lot with our daily chores.

    Necesitamos voluntarios que les guste la montaña y la tranquilidad, ya que vivimos en la villa, un lugar agreste en Neuquen, Patagonia Argentina.
    Las tareas que necesitamos que nos ayuden son ordenar madera, acomodar materiales que están dispersos por el terreno, pintar muebles y maderas para el revestimiento de la casa de te nueva, ayudarnos a instalar el revestimiento, Acomodar leña, desyuyar la huerta, preparar compost, entre otras tareas que irán surgiendo en el momento.
    Siempre estamos dispuestos a enseñar lo que sea necesario.

    Estamos interesados en conocer distintas historias de vida, viajes, aprender otros idiomas, casi siempre son más de dos voluntarios e intentamos que sean de distintos países para que puedan hablar en distintos idiomas. La mayoría aprende muchísimo así 😉. También nos interesa aprender sobre yoga.
    También nos pueden ayudar jugando con nuestros niños cuando nosotros estemos ocupados.
    Creemos que es súper importante la predisposición que traigan para hacer lo que necesitamos y compartir momentos con nosotros 🤗.
    Nos gusta mucho cuando son limpios y ordenados ya que a veces nosotros no tenemos el tiempo pero eso ayuda muchísimo en los quehaceres diarios.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have a cabin that was the previous tea house. It is located next to the current tea house and our house. The cabin has a room with two double beds, and a single bed in the hallway. Everything upstairs. And on the ground floor there is a kitchen (a stove with two burners) with kitchen utensils to use, a bathroom with a hot shower through a wood-burning heater, an armchair to relax next to the salamander for wood-burning heating.
    In the villa there are three warehouses that can supply what they need. We offer the supplies so that they can cook in your cabin. (Vegetables, fruits, meat, bakery products, legumes, we do not offer dairy).
    We always ask that you keep everything as clean and tidy as possible.

    Another important issue for us is that we do not smoke and we have two small children, that is, we do not allow them to smoke inside the cabin or near the children or within the entire complex.
    The villa is an ecological town in a certain part. We supply ourselves with solar energy, and we take great care of the light. we have electricity and wifi 24 hours a day. We separate the waste and make compost that we use for the garden.
    We are waiting for you to tell you a little more about what we do in Meliquina. Do not hesitate to write to us and ask us what is necessary.

    Tenemos una cabaña que era la casa de te anterior. Se encuentra al lado de la casa de te actual y nuestra casa. La cabaña cuenta con una habitación con dos camas dobles, y una cama individual en el pasillo. Todo en la planta alta. Y en la planta baja hay una cocina (una anafe con dos hornallas) con utensilios de cocina para usar, baño con ducha caliente a través de un calefón a leña, un sillón para relajarse al lado de la salamandra para calefaccionar a leña.
    La villa hay tres almacenes que podrán abastecerse de lo que necesiten. Nosotros ofrecemos los insumos para que puedan cocinarse en su cabaña. (Verduras, frutas, carne, productos de panaderia, legumbres, no ofrecemos lacteos).
    Siempre les pedimos que dejen todo lo más limpio y ordenado posible.

    Otro tema importante para nosotros es que no fumamos y tenemos dos nenes pequeños osea que no permitimos que fumen dentro de la cabaña ni cerca de los niños ni dentro de todo el complejo.
    La villa es un pueblo ecológico en cierta parte. Nos abastecemos de energia solar, y cuidamos mucho la luz. tenemos luz y wifi las 24 horas del dia. Separamos los residuos y hacemos compost que usamos para la huerta.
    Los esperamos para contarles un poco más lo que hacemos en Meliquina. No duden en escribirnos y consultarnos lo que sea necesario.

    Most of the volunteers travel by hitchhiking so they get to different places.
    San Martin de los Andes has an airport and a bus terminal. And there is a bus (Via Bariloche- Albus) that goes to Siete Lagos and passes by the Meliquina gate.
    Bariloche also has an airport and a bus terminal and there is a bus that goes to Siete Lagos that leaves you at the intersection of Route 63. And then from there you can hitchhike to our house.

    We would like to be able to talk to the volunteers via WhatsApp before making the visit.
