The Experience

We're seeking Worldtravelers keen on sustainable living to help in our construction. While expertise in natural building is a plus, it's not required. We'll guide volunteers in tasks like preparing natural materials, structure assembly, and design contributions. Additionally, general assistance is needed for various tasks: shifting materials, site preparation, cleaning, and aiding in kitchen or camp maintenance during summer.

The stay at the project was fantastic! Pilolcura is a super beautiful place, it really doesn't get much better. The work was straightforward and rewarding. It was great to spend some time working with my hands! The food was delicious and hearty and the hosts and other volunteers were great to hang with. Highly recommended! Thank you Pablo & Cello!

What a stay. Pilolcura is a beautiful and peaceful part of the world. I had a great time walking the beach at sunset, playing boardgames, practicing my Spanish, eating great food and falling asleep to the sound of a river. Consuelo and Pablo are incredible people and really make you feel welcome and I enjoyed the work - it was really cool learning a bit about bio-construction.

Teresa's stay with us was a genuine pleasure. Her enthusiasm for bio-construction and love for nature truly enriched our project. Whether it was learning new skills, enjoying sunsets on the beach or the tranquility of Pilolcura, Teresa did it all with a wonderful spirit. We're grateful for her contributions and the joy she shared with us. Her time here was marked by meaningful work, cultural exchange, and lasting friendships. We wish her all the best and warmly welcome her back anytime.

Abrazos muy grandes,
Consuelo and Pablo

Pablo y Chelo, los anfitriones, son encantadores, comida muy rica y buena compañía. Pilolcura es muy especial, la naturaleza, la playa y trabajar con la bioconstrucción y aprender sobre ella fue muy divertido y diferente. ¡gracias por todo!
