I absolutely loved my 4 weeks at the lodge! Angela and Francisco are welcoming, respectful, generous, and flexible. The tasks are clear, varied, and give you a great opportunity to learn more about how an eco-friendly accommodation operates. The property is stunning, with breathtaking views of the volcanoes. I had the chance to borrow a bike to go to the lodge and explore the surroundings. Their house is warm, spacious, and clean, and I was able to comfortably work online during my stay. I highly recommend this experience :D

We've had a amazing experience with Angela and Francisco ! We stayed in their house with a private room and bathroom and full access to the rest of the house so that was really comfortable. Also the surroundings are great with amazing views and good hikes. We were able to take the bikes whenever we wanted to go to the lodge (or they dropped us) and from there it's quite easy to access everything. There're super friendly and welcoming people so we shared good moments with them and their two children! Also we were autonomous on the work with clear tasks. So we totally recommend them, thanks !

Our first volunteer experience was incredibly rewarding! We had a wonderful time with Angela, Francisco, their kids, and their sweet dog, Zaha, sharing meals and chats. They're loving parents and amazing hosts! I learned about gardening, recycling, hospitality, and local culture. We helped clean the chicken coop, water the greenhouse and garden, make breakfasts, collect stones, clear weeds, and plant. Highly recommend this opportunity if you're looking for a cozy family atmosphere with breathtaking views. You'll need to enjoy being around kids, animals, and nature to make the most of it.

Volunteering in the lodge is one of the most valuable learning experiences in my life and I'll cherish these memories forever. About the tasks, I've had lots of fun preparing meals and breakfast for the guests. On the other hand, I had my very first approach to gardening and I really enjoy to learn the essentials. The surroundings are beautiful and totally worth it to explore, Los Lagos is definitely a region that I'd love to visit again. Angela and Francisco (and the kids) are very nice people, but also respectful and flexible hosts. Totally grateful.

Angela and Francisco have a beautiful home and family. They are extremely warm and welcoming, along with the two amazing kids Ema and Tomás. Zaha the dog is of course one of the highlights and it all comes together for a hugely enjoyable and home away from home stay! The work is enjoyable and not too strenuous. Preparing breakfasts and cooking pizzas for guests along with afternoons spent in the garden is a great way to spend three weeks. They are also very well positioned for exploration around the Lake Region while you are there. Woild highly recommend to other Worldpackers.

We had an extraordinary experience with the whole family, Angela and Francisco welcomed us like one more into their home. The little ones Ema and Tomas were adorable, we loved spending time together playing with them. We loved being able to cook and eat together, we all exchanged delicious recipes. In relation to work, it is easy, fun and varied. The area is like something out of a movie, near the volcanoes and mountains of the Andes. In our free time we were able to discover the surroundings with the car. Great family. Great experience! Thank you :).

We spent three weeks at the accommodation and I can say it was an incredible experience. From the first day we felt at home thanks to Angela and Francisco's warmth and hospitality. The tasks are as described and they are flexible with the schedules. We hope to return very soon, thanks for everything!

Volunteering at Ave Lodge was a really lovely experience; it's perfect for anyone looking for a quiet and family-friendly place to connect with yourself. The lodge is located very close to Frutillar, from which you can take transportation to easily explore the beautiful Lake District region. The tasks are calm and you can do them at your own pace during the day, except for breakfasts which will be in the morning. The lodge is beautiful, very comfortable and with an incredible view of the volcanoes. Angela is an exceptional, flexible and generous host. I would highly recommend the experience.
