The Experience

I am an older adult living in Segundo Corral, Commune of Cochamó. I am looking for volunteers for collaboration and companionship during the planting season (garden), to share cooking knowledge and help with house and surroundings cleaning tasks, bring in firewood, feed the sheep, and accompany as needed. I live in a valley where I am the last inhabitant and our means of transport to reach it is by horse or on foot.

Gabriela and Víctor welcomed me in a very warm way, they undoubtedly made my stay very comfortable, they were flexible with my needs and very respectful. On the other hand, I learned a lot about the activities they carry out with their horses, which I found great, the place is very beautiful and above all relaxing, there are many places to explore, I would definitely recommend it 100%

Gabi and Vitolo are great people; together with their son Chequel, they welcomed me as one of their own, they put me at ease, I learned about caring for animals and outdoor chores.
I was able to explore the area, local activities, and delicious food.
I hope to return soon and that they keep doing very well:)

Benjamin, a boy who is a little shy at first but pleasant to talk to. It was a pleasure to share with him and welcome him into our humble home.

If you’re looking to connect with nature, animals, and to get to know the local culture, it’s the perfect place. Gabriela and Víctor will make you feel at home, two wonderful people who are always willing to teach you with patience and a big smile! The days flew by there! There you will learn about animals, a garden, among other things; they respect your time and the place is beautiful, hoping to return!
