Patricio was an extremely good host. He communicated really well and was relaxed about when we got things done, which meant I could explore El Bolsรณn, including climbing Piltriquitrรณn. I had an amazing time on his chacra and learnt so much about gardening and Argentinian culture. I also practised my Spanish with him, while his English meant I could always communicate when I got stuck. The cabins are beautiful, warm and cosy, and having my own space to sleep and cook was great. I always felt welcome in his home. Iโ€™ll miss this experience. Thanks for everything, Pato!

The farm is an incredible beautiful place with a Piltriquitrรณn mountain just behind ! Is perfect if you seek for a peaceful, cozy place where you can get in touch with the nature and you can still have some fun in a hippie town of El Bolson :) Patricio is very helpfull and welcoming person. He has a lot of knowledge about plants but not only, you can have conversations about many topics while drinking mate :) Tasks are easy and place for stay is super cozy with a lot of space and beautiful garden around :)

We arrived in winter and we had days of rain, but the lodging was warm and from the beginning we felt comfortable. Pato was always very kind and willing to help.
The place has a beautiful view of the mountain and is ideal to connect with nature, with oneself and the surroundings. The tasks were varied and manageable, and there was also time to explore.

We both enjoyed the experience and we took away good memories. We valued the tranquility, the good energy and the possibility of learning new things.

Thanks Pato for having us! We loved sharing these days ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝโœจ

This was a beautiful experience. I just left and I already miss it โ€” the mint, thyme, gatoto (the house pets), and pato as well. They welcomed me from the first moment, making me feel at home; everything is very warm, from the treatment to the facilities.
Pato cooks very well, makes good mate, and always has five more minutes to chat.
We were two volunteers at the same time; the work hours are flexible and the tasks weren't very heavy overall, but they could have been better distributed and organized so that the work was equitable.
Thanks for everything, Pato!!!

Very good experience, the place is beautiful and super quiet. Pato is a very good host, easygoing to organize everything from the first contact, very attentive to everything. The work hours are relaxed and the tasks vary, it's not heavy. It's a bit far from the center of Bolson, but the place itself is very nice and worth staying. The living space has everything you need to be comfortable and it is very nice. I learned new things about working in a greenhouse, and Pato lent me study books for the time I was there. I recommend it for a few quiet days in the mountains. I would come back!
