The Experience

Lejos del ruido de la ciudad, en la mitad de la cordillera se encuentra la Granja "las Horrquetas". Si tienes ganas de vivir una vida autosustentable por un tiempo estas en el lugar correcto. Con las verduras de la huerta, agua de los glaciares y lindas historias camperas. Estamos buscando a ti si estas dispuesto a prestar una mano en las actividades diarias, preocuparte de los animales y ya traes un poco de conocimiento o las ganas de aprender

Hello, this is Tom and Liam. We really enjoyed our stay at Las Horquetas. We couldn't wish for us to stay at a more special place than this one. From farming the beautifull lands to slaughtering a lamb and being within the beautiful mountains that Chile has to offer. We already miss Norma Ricardo and the 4 dogs so much. Also we felt so welcomed at their place as if they were our own grandparents. It was really fun to learn everything we had to do at the farm and after a week we could for example herd the sheep of the land ourselves together with the dogs. Also we have learned Chilean Spanish.

What a great experience! I loved staying with Kathy, Marcello, Margo and Vitalino, they all made me feel very welcome and comfortable. They were also very patient with my terrible Spanish. The work was never too intense and was different everyday, I helped with daily fame activities like collecting food, preparing the land and tending to the animals. We also got to do some basic construction stuff. Overall it was an excellent experience and a great insight into rural life in Chile. They are a lovely family with a great way of life in a very beautiful part of the world. I would return anytime!

Fue sin duda una experiencia hermosa! Kathy y Marcelo me recibieron con los brazos abiertos y con todas las comodidades posibles y más. Me sentí muy acogida y segura con ellos, como si estuviera en mi propia casa. El trabajo que hice en la huerta fue muy divertido. Aprendí cómo sacar malezas, plantar semillas, limpiar cajones, etc… Kathy es ultra mega flexible con cualquier necesidad que tengas, ya sea de las horas de trabajo o alguna comodidad tuya dentro de la casa. Viven bien alejados de todo, lo cual en mi opinión del toque a la experiencia. Lo recomiendo!!! :)

Fue una experiencia realmente hermosa y, si pudiera, me habría quedado mucho más tiempo. Desde que llegué, Margot y Vitalino me recibieron con muchísimo cariño y me hicieron sentir como parte de su familia, algo que valoro y agradezco de corazón. Es un lugar increíble, rodeado de naturaleza, tranquilidad y lleno de pequeños aprendizajes cada día. Me llevo recuerdos muy lindos, conversaciones, risas y momentos que guardaré con mucho cariño. Sin duda recomiendo vivir esta experiencia. Espero algún día poder volver a visitarlos.

La experiencia fue muy buena y pude conectar con la gente del lugar y sentirme uno mas allí. Las tareas desempeñadas fueron muy útiles y aprendí bastante! La naturaleza en el lugar es bastante única ya que el lugar se encuentra alejado! Recomiendo mucho!
