Description
My name is Salvador, I am Mexican, my wife Jessica is from Spain and together we have 2 children, Cloe and Iker.
We left the city more than 15 years ago and started an environmental education center in a beautiful land on the shore of the largest natural lake in Mexico "Chapala"
in the place we apply permaculture and we are in search of self-sufficiency.
We are looking for help from a nice couple of volunteers who like nature and have an interest in permaculture, who are clean, hardworking and independent and like to talk to visitors.
We offer a nice, clean and independent place to sleep and everything you need to prepare your vegetarian meals in exchange for a minimum of 5 hours of work a day, 5 days a week.
The work is in several areas such as: care of the gardens, bioconstruction and help in the kitchen and cleaning during workshops and yoga retreats.
minimum stay 1 month!
This is in front of the lake surrounded by nature and offers an excellent opportunity to learn and enjoy nature and a simple life.
es un proyecto familiar conformados por Jessica (españa), Salvador (Mexico) y nuestros 2 hijos iker de 10 años y cloe de 5 años.
La tierra nos fue heredada y nuestro compromiso es cuidarla y mejorarla y transmitir nuestra experiencia con los visitantes.
