    Description

    We are a space to learn by doing: bioconstruction, happy chickens, gray water recovery, syntropic forest, medicinal herbs...located in the Aconcagua Valley, Putaendo, Chile.
    It is a self-managed project by Jessica and Daniel, who without any prior knowledge left city life to return to the field trades, where there are always things to do, and kind people who are motivated to help are always welcome.
    Also in this space during the year volunteering and different workshops related to bioconstruction and organic agriculture.
