We’re looking for motivated people who love nature to help us and collaborate on bioconstruction and/or permaculture projects—from scratch—creating spaces, improving and maintaining them, and, at the same time, people who are interested in biosocial aspects, cultural exchange and knowledge related to art, architecture and construction in territories in harmony with well-being.

Carol was incredibly welcoming from the minute she greeted me off of the bus. She is passionate about her project and is keen for volunteers to get involved and learn new skills. The location is absolutely beautiful, sleeping in a tent with the sound of a river nearby. I did find it to be a lot of work, and we would often work past 9pm if we started late, so I didn't have loads of time to explore outside of the project. But the project itself is rewarding and challenging. Carol is a great communicator and taught me loads about the local history, indigenous knowledge and natural medicines.

100% recommended project, just apply! Carol is special, an all-round artist, she has so much to teach. With her lifestyle and her project she truly showed me how to live more connected with nature and I learned a lot of practical things and new perspectives on lives. Everyday we worked on something different so the work was never boring, from painting to building. She is super flexible with the time and we agreed together when we prefer to work, day by day. She has been so nice to host a friend of mine too! She showed us all around the beautiful Valle and we always cooked good food together!

The experience is very rewarding in terms of learning about construction with techniques and local materials. Carol is always attentive in case any questions arise and willing to explain and teach how to do it. Carol is very flexible with the schedules as she sets aside time to meet her volunteers, creating a very family-like environment. Very grateful to be able to be part of this lovely project; I recommend it since the valley is a magical place and Carol is very open to receiving ideas and the creativity of those who go!

It is an experience to test your knowledge and put collaborative work into practice in each daily task. What many people might consider an oasis among the mountains. If you want to get to know the Elqui Valley and its culture, visit Rivadavia.
