    Description

    We are Susana and Pedro, we have 2 children, 9 and 7 years old.

    Susana is Spanish-Dutch and Pedro is Chilean, we arrived in San Fabian de Alico 9 years ago, in search of a natural place, away from big cities and the massive tourist industry. From here we manage our campervan rental business and a coworking space.

    We are currently in the process of inhabiting a 5,000 square meter plot of land, with an estuary of pure water and native vegetation at the foot of Malalcura Hill. Here we have built our house together with friends. trying to do everything with the minimum impact on the environment, bioconstruction and respecting the cycles of human and plant nature.

    If you come to our place it is to help us with day-to-day tasks (order, cleaning, etc...) and together we can develop various construction and gardening projects. Do you have a skill, project or idea that you would like to develop related to all these topics at our place? We are open to supporting your dreams too.

    Projects, some of them are running, others just in plan.
    -Organic food garden
    - Dry toilet (Humanure Book insp.)
    - Work shed/Garage
    - Garden maintenance and watering
    - A shed for Relincho (our horse)
    - A tree house for the kids.
