The Experience

Somos un vivero dedicado a la floricultura (producción de plantas ornamentales) ubicado en una chacra en la costa del Río Azul, Lago Puelo. Necesitamos ayuda con las tareas del vivero: repique, transplante, desyuye, etc. Ofrecemos alojamiento en una casa ubicada en la misma chacra, a compartir únicamente entre los voluntarios. La casa está a 5 minutos del río y a 1 km de la ruta donde pasa el colectivo hacia Lago Puelo o El Bolsón

Volunteering at the project was great! The location is so beautiful and it was lovely to learn more about permaculture and work with plants everyday. The volunteers and staff are so welcoming and helpful with anything you might need. The volunteer tasks are straightforward, fair and all working hours are exactly as agreed upon in the position description. It's such a peaceful place to volunteer and I had a lot of fun, I recommend!

The project was a great place to volunteer! The location is amazing with great views and lots of hikes and beautiful places to explore. Jorge was very lovely and helpful, as were the other volunteers who helped me greatly with my Spanish. It was great to spend a whole month practising (though it might be a bit challenging if you don't speak any Spanish since, during my time, Jorge and all the volunteers were native Spanish speakers). The tasks were pretty straightforward and easy, and were explained well by Jorge. I had a lovely time and would highly recommend.

I loved my experience at the project!! The volunteer housing was very nice and it was so much fun living with all of the volunteers and exploring El Bolson and Lago Puelo. Jorge and the other full-time staff were so accommodating and kind even though I don't speak very much Spanish!
