Experiencing rural life with a young family in Villarrica, Chile

  Descripción

  Hello! We are Jorge and Coni, a Mapuche family living near the Villarrica Volcano.
  We are two young rural people dedicated to working on our farm in southern Chile, with stunning views of the volcano and Huincacara Hill. We manage 3 hectares of land with bees, sheep, chickens, a fruit orchard, and any project that come us to mind.
  We love our area, it’s perfect for hiking, exploring rivers, caves, and lakes, and we live in a very touristic commune. If you enjoy nature, honey, animals, and outdoor life, this is the place for you.
  
  Here you will meet Violeta, Jorge’s mother and president of the indigenous community, as well as other members of our family, the indigenous community, and the Mapuche culture. We are also part of an environmental organization and we often organize excursions and activities to care for our environment.
  
  We don’t have Wi-Fi here, but there is a good 3G–4G signal.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We love exchanging knowledge about lifestyle and traditions. We can offer long conversations around a Mapuche fire pit, talking about local history while enjoying something delicious to eat.
  
  We love learning new things and exchanging knowledge. Jorge is a farmer and beekeeper, and Coni is a law graduate who teaches civic education in schools. We are both active members of an organization where we monitor wildlife and pollution in the river that runs through the community. We have so much to talk about!
  
  We love doing outdoor activities while always observing our surroundings — we gather wild berries, observe local flora and fauna, and learn from them.
  
  We are a family of community leaders: Coni is the president of the environmental organization, and Violeta is the president of the indigenous community. If you take part in activities with us, we can provide you with a participation certificate.
