  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    In Autumn/Winter we have the alternative of accommodation in a room in a cabin that they provide us. This has a bed, sheets and bedding. In Spring/Summer the accommodation is in a tent, we have a 2-season tent, with a mattress, sheets and bedding. If the volunteers travel with a 4-season tent, even better.

    We offer volunteers breakfast, lunch and dinner on a lacto-ovo vegetarian menu on the days they are working. On days off, they are asked to provide food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    El alojamiento es en carpa (tienda), nosotros contamos con carpa de 2 estaciones, con colchón, sabanas y ropa de cama. Si los o las voluntarios viajan con carpa de 4 estaciones mejor aun.

    A l@s voluntarios les ofrecemos desayuno, almuerzo y cena en un menú ovo lacto vegetariano los días que están trabajando. Los días libres se les pide aportar alimentos para el desayuno, almuerzo y cena.

    Si deseas cargar tu celular o equipo debe ser en un tiempo acordado y con limite de carga. Tratamos de evitar usar mucha electricidad ya que la zona donde vivimos el costo de este es uno de los mas caros de Chile. Si viajas con un sistema de carga solar u otro mucho mejor.
