  Description

  We are a married couple that works around the sale of firewood and raising cows.
  Our activities are mainly loading firewood into trucks, installing or repairing fences, cleaning trails, cleaning pastures and mostly manual work where we use our physical strength to load.
  It is hard work but in a satisfactory environment full of nature where the mountain is our office.
  The place that is available to sleep is a stable.
  In the stable we have a room, kitchen and bathroom.
  We do not live on site, we only go to work so you must be a person capable of spending time alone.

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  They can learn from the life of the field in the top of the Andes Mountains , the simple life away from the big cities, as is the handling of animals , about how it is to live surrounded by nature and as the basic things of life enrich the soul.
  If you love nature, walk in the forest and be outside this is for you
  It's a job for someone who is handy and able to be away from the city on a lonely place on the mountain

  Help

  Help with farm chores, mostly hand work:
  
  1. Make or fix fences
  2. Collect firewood
  3. Load firewood into the van or truck
  4. Cut weeds from the field (rosehip and blackberries)
  5.Paint fences or walls
  6. Make holes for fences
  7. Maintenance of the green areas
  
  Is heavy physical work
  
  If you have carpenter skills that will be a plus
  
  These are the types of tasks, it does not mean that all of that should be done in one day. Each day will be organized with the tasks to be performed depending on the weather, amount of time or others.
  
  Can be one or two people to carry out the duties but it is better two so that they are accompanied, adults, over 25.
  
  Our place is 5 km from the town of Curarrehue
  (Pucón is 45 km away.)
  
  Therefore it is a place where there is no discotheque or that type of entertainment, it is necessary for someone who appreciates nature, being in it and working in it, it is very quiet with few neighbors.

  What else ...

  From the place there is a 5 km distance to Curarrehue, you can hitchhike, it is reliable, ask for a taxi or Uber or adapt to any departure that we already have scheduled.
  
  There are hot springs 10 km away, national parks in the area about 45 minutes away in the Puesco area, in the Villarrica national park
  Souvenir shops in Curarrehue among others
  
  Well, to add more information, it is important to mention that the job will have to be for an active person who can spend time alone or with their roommate.
  It is necessary that the person who comes to help us can carry out the activities by himself or with his partner in a mature way and with the ability to entertain himself or organize activities on his own in his free time. I am writing this since I previously had very young helpers where I had to deal with girls who were not used to hard work and far from the city
  
  Something very important is that it is not allowed to be drunk or drugged while you are in the place and respect will always prevail
