The experience

Hi, we are Andrés and María. We are looking for travelers to help us with tasks around our finca and house, with skills to contribute to the maintenance of the vegetable garden, gardens, kitchen, and construction, or with a willingness to learn.

We live in an old property that we are restoring in our spare time. Always aiming to harmonize with the surroundings, we work to restore the landscape in an ecological and sustainable way. Come and meet us!

Regarding the home collaboration work, we will set schedules from Monday to Friday, approximately five hours per day per person.

Simple tasks will include cleaning, weeding, garden care, house maintenance, small repairs, DIY, pet care, and language classes, among others.

We will schedule the times when you arrive, according to the heat hours and our working hours, in order to accompany you in some tasks and teach you techniques we are applying, for example, in our crops.

We will also need to adjust the collaboration hours, especially when the tasks are outdoors, taking into account the cold or heat.

The collaboration will be about 5 hours per day from Monday to Friday; less may be agreed in some cases. Exceptionally we will need the care of our pets on weekends.
