Program Details

We have a lovely, advanced project in the seventh region of Maule, near the mountains and surrounded by beautiful landscapes. It covers a total area of 3,600,000 m² located in the town of Longaví at the foothills of the cordillera (San José – Las Amalias sector). It is organized to carry out various activities related to the region, such as a berry orchard, pastures for cattle and horses, and of course a garden for self-sufficiency; in winter and summer we require volunteers with an interest in the calm and kind life of the countryside, who are happy in nature and enjoy keeping animals; we have dogs, cats, horses and cattle. Our idea is to reach cattle fattening and preparation of Chilean horses, which is why we keep the place orderly by sowing, watering and harvesting our inputs permanently; we enjoy sharing experiences with foreigners and nationals, and we are happy to receive knowledge and exchange experiences.
