    Description

    Hello everyone,

    We are Rocío, Mati, and Río (our dog), residents and protectors of a beautiful piece of land in the high mountains of Córdoba. We arrived four years ago wanting to start a quieter life, in contact with nature, to learn from it. Little by little, we've been creating agroecological gardens, rainwater harvesting systems, natural building structures, and solar energy systems to try to live as self-sufficiently as possible and minimize our impact on the environment while it regenerates.

    The project is located in Portezuelo, about 8 km from Luyaba, Traslasierra. The place is truly a paradise with spring water and incredible 360-degree views. Nature at its finest. It's a spectacular place for those looking to disconnect, relax, and work as a team.
    We intend to expand with more gardens and an existing structure.
    We have a beautiful dome for volunteers to enjoy. We also have good-quality Wi-Fi.

    Mati: Economics teacher, inexperienced builder, scuba diving instructor, and passionate about learning new things.

    "I like to research and share. I believe that teamwork is a super powerful tool because we create together and at the same time learn from each other."

    Rocío: Image and Sound Designer, Dancer, Organizes English Conversation Groups to Analyze and Discuss Audiovisual Pieces

    "I like to create, and this project is my constant challenge to bring ideas to life."

    Hola a Todas y Todos,

    Somos Rocío, Mati y Río (nuestro perrito), habitantes y protectores de un hermoso pedazo de tierra en las sierras altas de Córdoba. Llegamos hace 4 años con ganas de emprender una vida más tranquila, en contacto con la naturaleza, para aprender de ella. De a poco fuimos armando huertos agroecológicos, sistemas de captación de agua, construcciones naturales, y sistemas de energía solar para tratar de vivir con la mayor soberanía posible e intentar ser lo menos dañino que podamos con el ambiente mientras se regenera.
    El proyecto se encuentra ubicado en el Portezuelo, a unos 8km de Luyaba, Traslasierra. Realmente, el lugar es un paraíso con agua de vertiente y unas vistas 360 increíbles. La naturaleza en su máxima expresión. Es un lugar espectacular para quienes busquen desconectar, relajarse y trabajar en equipo.
    Tenemos intención de avanzar con más huertos y expandir una construcción.
    Para recibir voluntarios tenemos un hermoso Domo para que tengan comodidad. También contamos con WIFI de buena calidad.

    Mati: Profesor de economía, constructor sin mucha experiencia, instructor de buceo y un apasionado por aprender cosas nuevas.
    "Me gusta investigar y compartir. Creo que el trabajo en grupo es una herramienta super poderosa porque creamos juntos y al mismo tiempo aprendemos del otro."
    Rocío: Diseñadora de Imagen y Sonido, Bailarina, Organiza grupos de Conversación en Inglés para Analizar y Debatir Piezas Audiovisuales
    "Me gusta crear, y este proyecto es mi desafío constante de poder materializar ideas."

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are two incredibly curious people, both with university degrees from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). We've traveled to every continent and love meeting new people and exploring new places. Being able to host people in our home gives us the opportunity to continue expanding our horizons. We speak several languages ​​and love the chance to practice them and learn new ones.
    We have a projector where we watch movies, and we love making music and dancing. It will be a pleasure to share these activities with anyone who comes to help us with our project.

    Tenemos un proyector donde vemos películas y nos encanta hacer música y bailar, va a ser un placer compartir esas actividades con la gente que nos venga a ayudar en nuestro proyecto

    We're interested in receiving volunteers because we love meeting new people.
    We know we can't do it alone, and volunteering is a form of cooperation where both parties benefit. We want to advance our project by expanding our gardens and adding to a small house built using natural building techniques. We know that those who come will enjoy the peace and quiet of the place and its beautiful natural surroundings. We're not experts in any of the permaculture disciplines, but we're very excited to share what we know.
    We've volunteered on other projects, and this time we're going to give it our all to be great hosts.

    Nos interesa recibir voluntarios porque nos gusta conocer gente nueva.
    Porque sabemos que solos no podemos, y el voluntariado es una forma de cooperación en donde ambas partes ganan. Queremos avanzar en nuestro proyecto ampliando huertas y expandiendo una casita con bioconstrucción, sabemos que quienes vengan van disfrutar de la paz del lugar y su hermosa naturaleza. No somos expertos en ninguna de las materias de la permacultura pero estamos muy entusiasmados en compartirles lo que sabemos.
    Fuimos voluntarios en otros proyectos, y esta vez vamos a dar lo mejor de nosotros para poder ser buenos anfitriones.
