The Experience

Hi, we live on 6,800 square meters in the foothills of the Andes, in the Malloa commune, El Maquis, in Chile's sixth region. It's a beautiful place located at the base of a small artificial pond, a few minutes from a river and surrounded by several vineyards. On the property, we have a geodesic dome where guests can stay, equipped with electricity, water, internet, and a natural pool. :)

La experiencia me permitió Vivir la cotidianidad de la vida rural de la casa, como un habitante mas de la vereda, se puede observar las personas campesinas en caballo con sus atuendos típicos, como también se consume queso fresco, miel y huevos que algún vecino vende desde su parcela. Estar en la casa de Raúl hecha en forma de domo de madera permite sentirse abrigado por el calor de la madera, la vista al lago y los atardeceres son increíbles. Raúl, el anfitrión te hará sentir como en tu hogar, con su amabilidad, serenidad, gran corazón. Y Si estas de suertecocinandote comida típica chilena

Monica is a wonderful girl, always willing to help in every sense. You can have interesting conversations on a wide range of topics, always with openness to all opinions. She is a person with a lot of life experience and wholeheartedly devoted to everything she does, always willing to learn new things and with a strong drive for self-improvement. She is a person with social awareness, concerned about world events and about how she can contribute, even with a grain of sand, to making everything better.

The farm est une personne très sympathique et patiente. Les horaires sont aménagés en fonction de la météo et il est de bon conseil pour effectuer des visites. Le lieu est très calme et il y a quelques bus dans ́à journée pour nous emmener en ville. Je recommande

Florian is a very nice guy, always willing to help with all kinds of tasks around the house.
During his stay I helped with the recycling of wood and construction materials, as well as weed removal and painting.
I am very grateful for his help and I would definitely recommend him.
