Help
We need help in three areas:
In tourism: we have a kayak excursion, where you need to receive customers, clean equipment and if you like water, go down the river as an assistant.
In construction: making the trails in the forest that reach the waterfall that is inside our property. Clean the trees, cut the grass and leave the park tidy.
In ski rental: public attention, learn to maintain equipment and the helper that interests you can specialize more technically in Ski / Snowboard.
We have 2 very marked seasons, summer with Kayak and MTB
Winter with ski and snowboard because in our valley is the Ski Resort Corralco.
Necesitamos ayuda en tres areas:
En turismo: tenemos una excursion de kayak, donde se necesita recibir a los clientes, limpiarlos equipos y si les gusta el agua, bajar el rio como ayudante.
En construccion: haciendo los senderos en el bosque que llegan a la cascada que esta adentro de nuestra propiedad. Limpiar los arboles, cortar el pasto y dejar el parque ordenado.
En el rental de ski: atencion de publico, aprender a mantener los equipos y al helper que le interese se puede especializar mas tecnicamente en Ski / Snowboard.
Tenemos 2 temporadas muy marcadas, verano con Kayak y MTB
Invierno con ski y snowboard porque en nuestro valle se encuentra el Resort de Ski Corralco.
