    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You will be living on the boat, in the middle of the bay surrounded by other boats. Next to the village of Puerto Lindo. Meet other travelers from many countries with various experiences.
    You will be experiencing autonomous living on a boat with constraints and rewards ( such as jumping in the safe water surrouding). You must understand that a boat is moving by nature and that we are not talking of a house in the woods.
