  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here you will experience real southern Chilean life: shared meals, outdoor living, river days, campfire nights and local culture. We love exchanging stories, languages, traditions and ways of living.

    We share our knowledge about nature tourism, outdoor work and simple living, and we are happy to learn from your culture, skills and experiences. This is a true cultural exchange based on respect, connection and teamwork.

  • Help

    Help

    We are looking for motivated, responsible volunteers with a good attitude, who want to learn, help, and be part of a real project. The work is diverse and dynamic: support in the camping area, maintenance of green areas, help with the hot tubs, cleaning, light construction, and general tasks related to a natural tourism space.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We offer tent accommodation on our natural property, surrounded by forest and close to the river. We provide:
    – Tents
    – Sleeping bags
    – Sleeping mats

    The setup is simple, clean and fully outdoor, ideal for people who enjoy nature, fresh air and a real camping lifestyle. You will sleep with river sounds, wake up with birds, and truly disconnect from city life.

    Our place is also very accessible: public transportation stops right at the entrance of the camping, making it easy to visit both Valdivia city and the coast without needing a car.

    Is a beautiful, natural and authentic experience in southern Chile.

    We provide three meals per day in exchange for up to 25 hours of help per week, with two full days off. These days off can be taken together or separately, depending on what works best for both sides. Flexibility and good communication are key for us.

    Whenever possible, meals are prepared and shared together, creating a relaxed and social environment—food is a big part of cultural exchange here. That said, we understand that schedules and daily dynamics don’t always align. In those cases, Workawayers will have everything they need to cook for themselves, including access to a fully equipped kitchen, refrigerator, and ingredients, so you can comfortably prepare your own breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

    Our goal is to keep the experience balanced, respectful, and enjoyable—good work, good food, and good vibes, surrounded by nature in Valdivia.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    In your free time, you can easily explore Valdivia city, the coast, nearby beaches, rivers and forests. Public transport stops right at the entrance of the camping, so moving around is easy and affordable without a car.

    Our lifestyle is simple, respectful and connected to nature. We value cleanliness in common areas, respect for rest hours, responsible behavior and good teamwork. This is a quiet natural place, not a party hostel.

    Volunteers should be comfortable with outdoor life, camping conditions and changing southern weather (rain included!). If you enjoy simple living, nature and meaningful experiences, you will fit in perfectly.
