    Description

    Hi there! My name is Sergio and my wife. We live in the countryside in the San Clemente area near Talca, Maule Region. After a long period of time and also for the pandemia, we hapy can now receive volunteers! Our main activity is the manufacture of cheeses. We have free pig breeding and crops. We are in central Chile, a wine area, olive oil, Mediterranean climate and where you will find the most deeply rooted traditions of the Chilean countryside.
    Volunteers will have the opportunity to develop activities in the cheese factory, caring for the pigs, organic crops, small buildings, among others.
    We prefer volunteers who stay at least 2 weeks and we have a separate house for volunteers.

    Greetings and hope to see you soon!
