Program Details

We have a 20.000 square metre farm, the aim of the project is to preserve the wildlife around us, so we keep most of the property wild, in between we have trails for walking and for a near future ecotourism project. There are wild animals like: monkeys, armadillos, wild guinea pigs and other small mammals, as well as many birds, some exotic butterflies, native trees and flora. We're living a really simple but peaceful life, which means we have an open kitchen, small and easy bedrooms and we are the whole day outside. We are open and excited to learn and try new things.

Activities & Shift

The day starts at 6:30 with breakfast. After that, we will do what we need to do until around 12 noon so we can start with lunch.
The daily tasks depend on the weather and needs but mostly it is something like chopping wood for the oven, cutting grass for the guinea pigs, growing seeds or harvesting, helping in the kitchen, building things for plants, recycling.

Rules

Just be kind with your environment and collaborate with our project.
