The Experience

Unique opportunity: accommodation in Paradise at the foot of the Andes, in a stone house, completely independent, a self-sustaining home with solar panels, solar water heater, irrigation water, bottled gas, and a wood stove. The place is a unique spot of silence and connection with Mother Earth. We are seeking 1 person for 3 months to care for, feed, and cook once a day for the 7 dogs and 5 cats (balanced food), from my family.

Could not recommend the reserve more! Lisandro is the absolute nicest man, in the most beautiful place. It truly was like a second family with Lisandro the host, Cucho the dog, and all the other volunteers. The work was super fun, and enjoyable to see the progress and the vision of the project, and to learn something new. The constant field trips to town or to friends houses were always a blast. Couldn't recommend it enough!

My experience in Argylia was unforgettable ✨ It is a rustic place and immersed in nature, with a 360-degree view of the reserve hills and mountains the reserve. It allows you to live simply and feel at peace. Lisandro is a great host, super cool and friendly, the dog Cucho is the best companion there is 🫶🏼🥹 It felt very nice to be able to contribute my grain of sand to this project so important and full of purpose! I wish enormous growth for the Bosque de los Sagrados!

A magical place and an incredible host. Being in the Reserve Forest was an experience that exceeded our expectations. For us it was a moment of introspection, to connect with nature. The place is beautiful and has wonderful views. Lisandro is an incredible host: kind, respectful, very human, and considerate at all times. From the very first moment he offered us confidence and security, something that made us feel very comfortable and calm. We planted a tree 🌳. Thank you, Lisandro, for so much! Now you are part of the blooming garden of our ❤️
