Santuario Ecologico 108

We are a multi-faceted ecological Project in 108 hectares of project plus 140 ones of native forest. We are currently established as a Foundation. In charge are Piero, Padma, Italo, Claudia, Francisco, all of them enhancers of environmental and personal ecology, along with other collaborators. Padma is the founder of the Santuario Ecológico 108 Foundation, which began operations this year (2025). The farm itself is the center of its activities. Its goals are conservation, education, and research.
Lodgings available in the house. We have bedding, towels, sleeping bags, etc. There are electricity (100% off the grif), laundry, showers (water from wells), hot water and dry toilets.
Also we practice Boabom arts, archery and blacksmith.
This is a quiet place that needs respect. NO smoking. Our diet tends to be vegetarian, but not always, we are flexible. We do projects from Monday to Friday, between 9:30 a.m., lunch and rest, to continue in the afternoon to 18:00 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays free.
We have internet, access available.
On the zone are many places to meet in free time, from beaches and cities to mountains and national park. The volunteers can also take workshops that are taught.
To arrive from Santiago, take bus to Villa Alemana (prefer Pullman Bus line) and get off at Villa Alemana 1 ½ stop, agreeing to pick them up. Or the Metro Peñablanca.
Welcome!

As a shared project with volunteers, we seek to make them feel comfortable first,; each volunteer has a privarte room, bed with bedding, we share all meals together, there is a bathroom, hot water, internet, etc. The work varies by season, ranging from house keeping, animal care, horses, fence projects, construction and forestry.

108 is a wonderful Manada Family ♥️ They cared for us like parents, supporting us in every way possible and integrating us as part of the family from the very beginning. I felt very comfortable. They are lovely, fun people with a great sense of humor. They are open to talk about anything you need, share their wisdom, or simply spend time together. They are open to new ideas and suggestions, and they are also flexible with time management and tasks. I am so grateful; I finished the experience full of love, wisdom, and new siblings of life ♥️

Uma das melhores experiencias que tive durante minha passagem no Chile. Padma e Piero são pessoas incríveis e o Santuario 108 é um lugar muito especial. Foi muito bom estar perto da natureza, cuidar dos animais, aprender um montão de coisas novas e conhecer outros voluntários - que em poucos dias já se tornaram família. Recomendo de olhos fechados. Sojammm! ❤️

La experiencia fue inolvidable! Padma y Piero son muy amables y pacientes. Me sentí como en casa. Las actividades básicas fueron cuidar y alimentar a los animales, pero también ayudamos en actividades de pintura, a recolectar leña, proteger árboles, mantener la limpieza y otras actividades a depender de la necesidad. Además la comida es harta y buenísima y el lugar es lindo! Los cerros de la propiedad tienen una vista hermosa! Recomiendo mucho esta experiencia :)

¡Mi experiencia en Santuario Ecologico 108 fue de lejos increíble! Padma y Piero son personas amables y muy abiertas a recibir voluntarios t compartir sus conocimientos. Tuve la oportunidad de aprender sobre abejas, caballos, la fiesta patria chilena y también sobre la historia y cultura de Chile en las buenas charlas que tenía con los dos. La casa es comoda y las tareas son tranquilas. Trabajé alimentando los animales por la mañana y por la tarde, con pintura y haciendo mantenimiento de la casa y organización de la area externa. Muchas gracias Padma y Piero! Sojam!
