  Description

  Hello, we are Natalia and Carlos, we are living 3 km from Las Docas beach. For 3 years we were traveling in North America and South America ... Already a little tired from traveling so much and not having our own house, we began to bio-construct our house with the technique of wood, clay and straw formwork in Laguna Verde, Valparaíso, Chile. We have had this land for many years and now we decided to bio-build and apply everything we learned. We live with a 1 year and 3 month old dog named Cosmos. We love this way of learning, sharing and helping each other.
  
  Hola somos Natalia y Carlos, estamos viviendo a 3 kms de la playa Las Docas.
  Durante 3 años estuvimos viajando en norteamérica y suramérica... Ya un poco cansados de tanto viajar y no tener nuestra propia casa comenzamos a bioconstruir nuestra casa con la técnica de madera, barro y paja encofrada en Laguna Verde, Valparaíso, Chile.
  Hace muchos años que tenemos éste terreno y nos decidimos ahora a bioconstruir y aplicar todo lo aprendido.
  Vivimos con un perro de 1 año y 3 meses de nombre Cosmos.
  Nos encanta ésta forma de aprender, intercambiar y ayudarse mutuamente.
