Property of 1.3 hectares, 11 km from Coyhaique, Chilean Patagonia, with two half-finished houses. One is almost ready and the other is in rough construction. I am offering the almost finished house so you can stay there in exchange for helping me finish it. The property sits on the edge of a stream and amid a native forest. A quiet place, close to the town and in the heart of Patagonia in Aysén, Chile, with many beautiful places to explore.

I expect volunteers to be respectful, responsible, and professional people. I value order, and it is a fundamental part of my philosophy. They should be capable of maintaining the minimum discipline to separate work moments from those of relaxation and leisure. I also expect them to be autonomous, capable of resolving their own needs and being proactive. Flexible minds are welcome.
The property is located 11 km from the city center of Coyhaique, so a car is required. The volunteer should know that I will not be able to transport them at all times, so they must be willing to stay at the property when there is no car. In any case and under their responsibility, they may go out onto the road and hitchhike if they require it. In the future I would like to have a small car so they can transport themselves after demonstrating driving experience and being responsible for the care of the vehicle.
The idea is to be able to agree on tasks with clear objectives, carry them out and complete them during their stay. Once the agreed objectives are reached, or after establishing a plan to reach them, the volunteers may have free time to explore and enjoy their stay. You are very welcome to accompany me to other places in the region, whether for work or just to go sightseeing with my family.
The minimum rules of coexistence among respectful and empathetic beings. Fire in all its forms is prohibited.
