The Experience

In the Chilean Patagonia, in the heart of the mountain range you’ll find our small self-sustaining farm. We live far from noise and stress, disconnected from civilization. Our family invites you to experience farm life by helping us with the daily tasks that take place on a farm. These can vary depending on the season, such as planting, cleaning, harvesting, caring for animals, etc. If that sounds appealing, we look forward to welcoming you.

Hello, this is Tom and Liam. We really enjoyed our stay at Las Horquetas. We couldn't wish for us to stay at a more special place than this one. From farming the beautifull lands to slaughtering a lamb and being within the beautiful mountains that Chile has to offer. We already miss Norma Ricardo and the 4 dogs so much.
Also we felt so welcomed at their place as if they were our own grandparents. It was really fun to learn everything we had to do at the farm and after a week we could for example herd the sheep of the land ourselves together with the dogs. Also we have learned Chilean Spanish.

What a great experience! I loved staying with Kathy, Marcello, Margo and Vitalino, they all made me feel very welcome and comfortable. They were also very patient with my terrible Spanish. The work was never too intense and was different everyday, I helped with daily fame activities like collecting food, preparing the land and tending to the animals. We also got to do some basic construction stuff. Overall it was an excellent experience and a great insight into rural life in Chile. They are a lovely family with a great way of life in a very beautiful part of the world. I would return anytime!

It was undoubtedly a beautiful experience! Kathy and Marcelo welcomed me with open arms and with all the possible comforts and more. I felt very welcomed and safe with them, as if I were in my own home. The work I did in the garden was a lot of fun. I learned how to weed, plant seeds, clean drawers, etc… Kathy is ultra mega flexible with any need you may have, whether it's the working hours or any comfort of yours inside the house. They live far away from everything, which, in my opinion, adds a special touch to the experience. I recommend it!!! :)

It was a truly beautiful experience, and if I could, I would have stayed much longer. Since I arrived, Margot and Vitalino welcomed me with a lot of affection and made me feel like part of their family, something I value and am grateful for from the bottom of my heart. It is an incredible place, surrounded by nature, tranquility, and full of small lessons every day. I carry with me many beautiful memories, conversations, laughter, and moments that I will cherish. I would definitely recommend experiencing this. I hope someday I can come back to visit them.

The experience was very good and I was able to connect with the people there and feel like I belonged there. The tasks performed were very useful and I learned a lot! The nature in the place is quite unique since the place is remote! I highly recommend!
