Help with gardening and repairs in the Malloa commune in Chile
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. :)
