Program Details
At Casa Kiyari we are starting a rural lodging project focused on connection with nature, well-being, and life in the countryside. It is a space in full development where work with the land and daily collaboration are the protagonists.
What will you do with us?
Your main tasks will be focused on fieldwork and the preparation of the place:
Support in agricultural tasks, gardening and land maintenance.
General conditioning tasks to shape the rural lodging.
Coexistence and care of the shared spaces.
Lifestyle and activities:
We seek a balance between active work and total well-being. During the experience and in your free time, you can enjoy:
Outings and excursions to the river.
Yoga practices and dynamics, acroyoga and Thai massage.
A natural and peaceful environment to disconnect from the city.
Who is this experience for?
Ideal for proactive, independent people who love the countryside and are excited to contribute their energy to a project that is being born. It is an authentic rural environment experience: with moments of physical work in the land and spaces of total calm to enjoy nature. We look forward to seeing you at Casa Quijeri!

Field and agriculture tasks: Sowing, care of the orchard, maintenance of green areas and basic land tasks.
Support in project development: General maintenance, simple bioconstruction or adaptation of areas for the future rural lodging.
