    Description

    Hello, with my mother and my aunt we work and dedicate a lot of love and energy to this property in the protected landscape of Laguna de Rocha. We are dedicated to the conservation of the place, and we have no employees. We work ourselves, we maintain the garden and the house to the extent that we can. We need help in maintenance tasks, garden and conservation.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The place where we can accommodate you is in a refurbished old hause. The farm is in a protected area with an abundant diversity of flora and fauna. It is our desire to generate a refuge for wild flora and fauna in this place, and we have a great exchange with the inhabitants of the lagoon, the fishing community, park rangers, university researchers, and environmental protection societies.

    There is also an organic garden, where you can extract food, a disused greenhouse, a pier on the beautiful "Laguna de Rocha."

    El lugar donde los podemos alojar es en el casco antiguo. La chacra está en un área protegida de abundante diversidad de flora y fauna. Es nuestro deseo generar un refugio de flora y fauna silvestre en este lugar, y tenemos un buen intercambio con los habitantes de la laguna, comunidad de pescadores, guardaparques, investigadores universitarios, y sociedades de protección medioambientales.

    En el lugar hay una huerta orgánica donde se pueden extraer alimentos, un invernáculo en desuso, un muelle en la hermosa La laguna de Rocha.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    They will have a house within the property to stay. 1 km from the house where we stayed. It is an old building but well built, cool in summer and warm in winter. A large studio apartment (approx 12x5m) where the beds, dining room and living room are located, apart from a small kitchen with the necessary to cook and a bathroom. A large patio near the lagoon. They will be able to appreciate the nature of the area from the window. The water that there is comes from a cistern that collects rainwater and collects it with a bucket. There is no electricity, nor wi fi, but there is a good signal for mobile and cellular data. Everything can be discussed but our offer is to offer you a place where you can stay and cook for yourself; provide them with food so that they can have all meals, breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner.


    --.

    Tendrán una casa dentro del predio para alojarse. A 1 km de la casa donde nos quedamos nosotros.
    Es una construcción vieja pero bien construida, fresca en verano y tibia en invierno. Un monoambiente grande (12x5m aprox) donde se encuentran las camas, el comedor y living, aparte una cocina pequeña con lo necesario para cocinar y un baño.
    Un patio amplio y cerca de la laguna. Podrán apreciar la naturaleza del área desde la ventana.
    El agua que hay proviene de una aljibe que junta agua de lluvia y se junta con un balde. No hay electricidad, ni wi fi, pero si hay buena señal para datos móviles y celulares.

    Todo puede conversarse pero nuestra oferta es ofrecerles un lugar donde puedan quedarse y cocinarse ustedes mismos; proveerlos de alimentos para que puedan tener todas las comidas, desayuno, almuerzo, merienda y cena.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    In their spare time, there are many things they can do. The farm itself is a beautiful place to contemplate, where you can also fish or go kayaking around the lagoon, for example.

    It is important to consider that access to the house is complicated, 5 km of difficult-to-pass path.

    __

    En su tiempo libre, hay muchas cosas que pueden hacer, la chacra de por sí es un lugar hermoso de contemplación, donde además se puede pescar o salir a recorrer la laguna en kayak por ejemplo.

    Es importante considerar que el acceso a la casa es complicado, 5 km de senda de paso de difícil transitabilidad.
