Description
We live in Santa Barbara, a wonderful beach, close to the city of Chaiten. We are a german-chilean couple. Both of us studied tourism and we are realizing our dream to live in the chilean Patagonia. We are transforming a bus into a foodtruck and are building a camping on our land. We have a lovely son (3 years old) , one cat, one dog and 15 chicken.
We just finished building our house, but there is still some work to do and getting ready the camping to work.

In exchange we offer you food and accommodation, to have a great time, a lot of BBQs and fun. Also tours in sea kayak in the ocean (with dolphins and sea lions), tours in the Pumalin Park and tours to the hotsprings.
Aide
We bought a land close to the beach of Santa Barbara, the most beautiful Paradies-Jurrasic-Park-Beach in Patagonia and built our house here. now we are working on a camping. this requires constructing a bathroom, flooring, building furniture, planting trees, building a fence, planting flowers etc.
So we need strong, creative and motivated volunteers that are willing to be part of a wonderful new eco-tourism project in the most beautiful part of the chilean Patagonia.

Hébergement
We have a room in our house with two singlebeds. We have a spacious kitchen, bathroom with hot rain shower, tv and internet.
If we have family visiting, we can only offer the volunteers to stay in our garden in a tent, but using the bathroom and kitchen of the house.
Autres infos...
Chaitén is a beautiful city in the south of Chile. You can only get here by ferry, airplane or through Argentina but its definitely worth it. Its surrounded by marvelous mountains and the ocean, lakes and rivers. Its a quiet village with about 2000 inhabitants but in summer, loads of tourists are passing through. If you like to enjoy nature and the Patagonian relaxed lifestyle, Chaitén is the place for you. You can climb the Chaitén volcano, go fishing some tremendous salmons, do kayak in the ocean next to dolphins and sea lions, go walking through the Patagonian woods with huge trees and waterfalls, or go horseback riding through the mountains or at the beach.

Fui en la casa de Tommy y Lotta por 2 semanas y estaba une increíble experiencia de la vida de la Patagonia verde. El Natour camping es un lugar hermoso para disfrutar la playa Santa Bárbara, los lobos marinos, delfinos y también caminar o correr con la puesta del sol. Es una playa como tu ensueño.
