You don't need to be a mountain expert. The most important thing is your willingness to contribute, share, and experience a different kind of experience.

What will be your main activities?

• Gardening: care of plants, green areas, light pruning, irrigation, and maintenance of gardens.
• General maintenance: small repairs, tidying outdoor spaces, painting, and care of facilities.
• Domestic tasks: cleaning and organizing common spaces, support in organizing the facilities, and general tasks of the refuge.
• Care of the environment: keeping spaces pleasant, clean, and welcoming for our visitors.

We are looking for people with good energy, initiative, and a desire to participate in a growing project, sharing life in the mountains and connecting with nature

We would love to meet you and welcome you to our cordillera!


Activities & Shift

Collaboration will be approximately 16 hours per week, tentatively distributed across 4 days, with shifts of around 4 hours. The schedules will be flexible and coordinated weekly according to the refuge's needs.

The activities will be organized mainly in two blocks:

* Mornings (08:30 to 11:00): gardening, plant irrigation, mowing, care of green areas and general maintenance.
* Midday (12:00 to 15:00): cleaning and organizing common spaces, support in domestic tasks, and preparation of facilities between guest checkout and check-in.

Some tasks may be adjusted according to the weather, occupancy, and the refuge's priorities. We will seek to distribute the more demanding duties appropriately and avoid the hottest hours of the sun.

The shifts and rest days will be negotiable and agreed in advance, aiming for a comfortable, organized, and mutually beneficial exchange.
