A experiência

If you're looking to use your talents to travel the world, experience new cultures and make a difference, apply to our volunteer programme and help us restore a 150-year-old farmhouse into a vibrant cultural centre in the Andes.

It will later host an abundance of community, cultural, educational and tourism activities. The space will include a café/restaurant, a training/co-working space, office-space, eco-toilets and a studio-apartment.

Detalhes

We ask for 4 hours of your time a day, 4 days a week. In exchange, we will provide you with a nutritious lunch 4days/week and exclusive volunteer accommodation to build bonds with like-minded, international travellers. You have free use of the kitchen to prepare other meals and a list of recommendations how to make the most of your time off.

ACCOMMODATION

The local community has generously offered the ‘Casa Comunal’ (village hall) as the volunteers’ living quarters. As it is a community building which often receives visitors, we ask for it to be kept clean and tidy - for which volunteers are responsible.

There are two dormitories with a total of 8 beds, bathroom (with hot water) and a kitchen used exclusively for volunteer use (apart from the odd community event). It’s clean and has all the basics to help you feel at home.
