  Description

  We're Fermin and Luciana. A couple in our thirties with 2 daughters. We're making our dream come true: our eco-house in the mountain. Fermin works with construction and we were both refugeers in the mountains. We work in education and we're diving into permaculture. We live in Patagonia Argentina, paradise on earth.

  Help

  Wishing to live a wild experience? We need help building our eco-house with straw and mud echo techniques (structure panels, and walls), and putting beautiful its surroundings. We're experts on the tasks and we can guide you, but we also preciate the experiences you can bring to enrich our exchange. You will learn a lot, and we hope to learn from you.
  Acommodations are:
  * fire kitchen, dry bathroom, solar shower, and camping site.
  It's essential that you bring your camping gear and that you've lived camping experiences. We can't offer any typical comfort from the city =) . 100% nature! almost off-grid.
  
  In a working day we offer ingredients for 3 meals (rice, quinua, fruits and vegetables, tea, sugar) in exchange for 4 or 5 hours of help, which we can organize depending your preferences. We have utensils, but we preciate if you also bring yours! We suggest you get what you like the most for breakfast and tea, even though we will provide flour for bread.
  If you're not helping on that day, you can feel free to spend the day on the river, on trekking, or resting in the camp (food is not included in resting days). We will be glad to help you in everything you need. We suggest 4 or 5 days of help and 2 or 3 to rest and explore the mountain refugees, which are plenty of and really nice.
  We encourage self autonomy in cooking meals and spending your time. You'll spend time alone, as we're not living on the place yet.
  We ask for a minimum of 2 weeks on a stay, so you can connect with the place, with us and our routine and learn the tasks. If we're happy together, maximum will be as the weather allows.

  Accommodation

  The stay is 100% camping. Please be prepared for this. We can provide you with a tent and bedding (talk in private please). We like to spend time together in the natural fireside, ideal place to sing songs at night and look at the stars. The river is 1000 mts near, and crossing it you have plenty of trekking in the mountains. It's a beautiful and calm place, kind of wild, but with electric light, water and wood to keep you warm. Attention here! Raising extreme awareness of fire and its use.

  What else ...

  our place is 800 mts near the road. You can access small markets in the neighbourhood, and there's a bus in the road. You can also hitchike, it flows smoothly. You'll enjoy trekking, visiting lakes, reading a book under a tree, playing some music and meeting nice people.
