The Experience

Hello, do you have experience in boat repair, sailboats, etc.?\nWe would like to restore our fiberglass sailboat. It is a 19-foot microtoner that requires care, and we want to be able to sail it and enjoy the lake.\n\nExperience in fiberglass restoration, painting, wood repair, and rigging is required.\n\nOur idea is to have the sailboat in the water and sailing, but there are other tasks we'd love you to assist with.

Fue una experiencia increíble, el lugar es hermoso, los anfitriones amables y pendiente de que te sientas bien, Cristian fue flexible sobre el tiempo inicialmente acordado y terminada la tarea asignada pude seguir explorando el lugar. Agradezco su hospitalidad y permitir compartir con la familia.

Mi primer voluntariado lo hice en el the lodge y me encantó el lugar además tiene vistas priveligiadas al lago Colbún y está rodeado de naturaleza. Mi habitación era muy linda y contaba con baño privado. Disfruté de actividades como caminatas , kayak y andar en moto . El ambiente es familiar y relajado, y el personal es muy simpático. Me entretuve bastante ayudando en la cocina y comiendo cosas ricas . Gracias a la ubicación del lodge pude ir a la nieve , zoológico, cascada invertida, embalse ancoa, termas , ir a ríos y visitar lugares muy lindos . Feliz y gratificante la experiencia ♥️

Mario, great to hear that you enjoyed your volunteer work. And what a good option that you were able to ride your motorcycle to so many beautiful places in the area.

Good luck with everything.

Jules, for us it was really enjoyable meeting you and your contribution in the kitchen was great. You were a big help to Verónica and that is appreciated. We hope you can come back as we discussed.

A hug,

Foi minha 1 experiência na plataforma e foi muito boa. Os anfitriões são pessoas legais e o voluntariado é no meio da natureza. Fica pouco distante da cidade, mas se você quiser passar uns dias longe da cidade, apenas imersivo na natureza é uma ótima opção. Agradeço demais os dias passados lá. Abraços.
