I spent a month here and had a really great time there. Most of the work is outside in the garden and can be quite exhausting depending on what it is (a lot of weeding by hand, moving rocks, maybe helping Gaby building her house too, watering plants and things lighter). When there is a lot of clients you might help with the cleaning of the cabins… read more

This is a very beautiful property, a scattering of cabins among the Southern Andes, a dramatic, distant landscape. a perfect setting for reflection and reading. the work was purposeful.
the dog Reggae was a blessing, and an essential piece of the landscape. the family was so very welcoming and a joy to work under.

We stayed one week in Eduardo's cabins. In this area we did hiking and rock climbing (la ola, conglomerado, agua de las avispas). The views here are stunning and you are provided with good ingredients for cooking. The place doesn't have good public transposition, so be aware of that. The work here is varied and based on what you're able to do. We… read more

I've spent 10 days in the beautiful mountain surroundings of Potrerillos. Eduardo and his daughter Gabi with the baby son, were my hosts. I have mostly worked three types of work: painting the Workaway room, digging the channels for the cables between the cabins and discharging the pool from the mud that filled after the rain. The job was… read more

Well the experience here was an interesting one. The family are all very interesting individuals. But on the last day i had no lift into town, and the place is in the middle of nowhere. Literally had to walk like 16 km into town. Also, the cabins in the pictures are not offered to volunteers. You sleep in the kitchen on the couch, where a lot of… read more
