Program Details

We live on a farm in a rural area, there are lots of opportunities for birdwatching (even flamingos are close by), walks in nature, stargazing (we have some of the darkest skies in the world), watching the wildlife...not so much for clubbing or dining out.
Here guests can learn about the history of La Pampa, the locals of the area, learn about local traditions, study spanish or english, vegetable gardening, cooking, foraging, food preservation etc.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included, we cook for everyone. We are mostly vegetarian and can accommodate vegetarians and vegans. We eat a wide variety of cuisines so you won't be bored by the food. We make our own bread, yogurt, tofu, kimchi etc. There are usually homemade cakes and cookies and other goodies around too.
Hopefully, the pool will be repaired for the summer and will be open for your use.
