The experience

We are looking to work with volunteers to be part of our property in El Bolson, Patagonia Argentina. In exchange for a place to stay and lots of time to explore and have fun, we need help cleaning and setting up the cabins for our guests, receiving guests and showing them around the property, and helping with the laundry - if you've got a few maintenance skills even better!

Program Details

We work in shifts of about 4-5 hours a day 5 days a week. (we always try to give you 2 days off in a row so you'll have tons of time to explore the area). The morning shift is all about cleaning and helping with the checkout of the guests. This is typically from 10am - 3pm. The afternoon shifts you'll be helping with the laundry of the sheets and towels and be available to receive guests and answer any questions they may have. And of course, hang out with our two dogs Chinchu and Frida! The most important thing we are looking for in a volunteer is someone who understands how important and meticulous the cleaning of the cabins is. No guest wants to stay in a dirty place! Each cabin has it's own bathroom and kitchen that will need to be thoroughly cleaned each time a guest checks out.

Activities & Shift

You'll be staying in the main house. You'll share a room with one other volunteer. The bathroom and kitchen will be shared with the person running the property as well. The house is super comfortable, spacious, and warm! There's great wifi as well. You will be responsible for your own food but you'll have a fully equipt kitchen to cook in :) Behind the house is a beautiful natural preserve and a trail that runs directly to Cerro Amigo with amazing views of the area!
