    Descrição

    We are now a team of 3 working here full time on our small tourist ranch (Hernan, Tilly and Facundo). Our place is in the middle of the mountains, off-grid and remote. We take water from a spring, energy from sun and heat with firewood stoves.
    We have 4 homebuilt guest cabins and in the winter we take guests on sleddog tours, during the summer we take guests on horse riding trips.

    We have worked alongside volunteers for 15 years on our small ranch, it has generally been a great success. Recently we have changed our set-up, volunteers will not be involved in the day to day running of the business or be responsible for looking after the ranch, rather they will have the opportunities to learn how to look after the huskies, how to chop firewood, learn how to find practical solutions to problems and enjoy much more downtime to enjoy the area and also cook for themselves.

    The volunteers we are looking for will help with the tasks related to the cabins - cleaning when the guests leave and preparing the cabins before guests arrive.
    We would prefer volunteers that are around 25 years old or older, obviously we can make exceptions. Our way of life here is very different to your average person, so there is a lot to see and learn.

    Volunteers will live with Facundo (who is Argentine) in a cabin, it is fully equipped with kitchen and bathroom and separate bedrooms. All the meals you'll prepare in the cabin either with Facundo or yourself. It is a 100km round trip to the town which you can make every wek/10 days or so with Facundo, Hernán or Tilly. The vehicles are not available for volunteers to use. You'll be provided a budget for your groceries. It's best to have it in mind that the shops are far away, so you can plan your meals/food shop.

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    • Volunteers will learn first hand what it is like to live remotely and off grid. We do absolutely everything ourselves here, this includes finding solutions to problems. For example if a tap has burst and needs to be changed, we fix it. If an animal has sustained an injury, we find the necessary means to cure it. In the modern world, people just outsource their problems. We face them and fix them ourselves. A volunteer can learn many useful practical things, from fixing a hinge on a door to installing a window.
