Description
We are a little family of 3. My name is Nicolas, I was born in Switzerland in 1980 from a chilean father and a swiss mother. Angela is chilean from Valparaiso and we have a little baby born in 2019.
I am an Economist and have always loved to travel and discover new cultures. Now we are leading an eco-tourism project in an amazing spot in a national park (La Campana) in Chile. We are offering great opportunities of help related to construction, carpentry, gardening (permaculture) and tourism/hotel activities, picking wood for the winter, marketing -> social media manager.

Help
We offer to help in a place in an exceptional setting, surrounded by nature, on the edge of the La Campana National Park, in the central region of Chile.
Irregular hours sometimes mean helping evenings and weekends.
We are looking for help with construction, carpentry, gardening and the general maintenance.
But also, we would be happy to have support with the babysitting and creative play.
Last 1,5 year, I have had about 60 volunteers helping in the construction of an amazing project (wood, structure, mud and straw, 1500 recycled bottles).
I am running now a similar new project and it would be great to work with you: carpenter, builder, gardener.
5 days help per week - min. 5 hours per day.
Volunteers of min. 25 years old are required to help on this project.

Recomiendo mucho Marina y Rino a todos los anfitriones de la comunidad Workaway.
