Laguamanda

We are a developing community located in a rural area just 4 km from the city of Colonia del Sacramento (UNESCO World Heritage Site) that has a wide coastline with white-sand beaches on the Río de La Plata.
We grow a garden for self-consumption, we have farm animals (geese, chickens, sheep, horses), an edible forest, and we care for a native monte on the banks of the La Caballada stream. Our current buildings are all bioconstruction and we are in the process of expanding them.
For people who enjoy field activities and have some experience in them, they will be able to enjoy a beautiful space close to nature.

At the moment we permanently inhabit four people: Igor (67), Lidia (67) and Varinia (62). All of us live and work exclusively in our space. Each one is responsible for some area, but we share the tasks in general.
Our diet is omnivorous (we accept vegetarians, not vegans) and we always share lunches among all.
The space for the volunteers' overnight stay is a room with bunk beds, the photos of which we attach. The bathroom is shared and is located in the common house about 15 meters from that lodging. The kitchen of the common house will be available for the preparation of meals outside lunch, for which there is a person in charge.
We will provide volunteers, in addition to lunch, the ingredients for their other meals of the day.
All of us contribute to the same daily schedule of activities: 5 hours and a half from Monday to Friday and 4 hours and a half on Saturdays. Routinely the afternoons are free and one full day a week for personal activities. It is necessary to add for those who do not have knowledge of rural life that some tasks are subject to the demands that nature itself requires. That implies there will be moments when small tasks outside the expressed regime must necessarily be fulfilled.
We have bicycles available for volunteers and we are 700 meters from National Route 21, from which there is public transport to Colonia and other parts of the country.
