Rural Permaculture. Bioconstruction of a Refuge for Travelers
The experience
We are building an eco-friendly, self-sufficient cabin from scratch. The goal of this space to be built is to welcome travelers and volunteers. To do this we use locally sourced materials and also recycled ones such as tires, bottles, etc. The bioconstruction includes a water reuse system, photovoltaic solar energy, and rocket stove systems for ovens, cooking, and heating.

Program Details
Here we promote 'learning-by-doing', that is, we look for active people, eager to do and to undertake. Due to the diversity that permaculture implies, there are also diverse possibilities to do what you like most and to make your Self feel in constant exploration. We hope you can connect with the nature of the place and develop autonomy in the tasks agreed. We have ample experience in various areas of permaculture, many tools and also a wide library, so you can count on support to learn from what you most want.
Activities & Shift
Daily activities will be agreed based on length of stay, the traveler's preferences, and the place's needs. We request basic collaboration for 4 hours daily, preferably in the morning.
