    2 years ago, we began to make our life in the countryside, together with my partner Valentina and our little daughter.

    Our idea is to be able to form a small farm in which we are able to produce our food, and share this new way of life, taking up concepts that today have been forgotten in our society.
    The idea is to be able to replicate this learning in our land, therefore we need help in the construction part and work with the land. We want to use the minimum of resources and also reuse materials, we do not have many resources but we have a lot of knowledge and good ideas that we want to share with everyone who wants to help us; We are also very open to receive volunteers who bring new ideas for our land.

    Our small Plot is located in the San Pedro de Melipilla commune, about 130 km from Santiago and about 90 from Pichilemu, in a town called Corneche, the commune is known for the production of Strawberries, this small town is approximately far from civilization. 6 km from a nearby business, but we have all the comforts to have a life without having to go to the city very often (electricity, water, internet, food, own transportation). A few kilometers away is the Rapel River, with beautiful landscapes.

    Today my partner (Valentina) and I are working part-time in our respective professions, and we dedicate time to raising our daughter. The other days of the week we are at home doing work in the garden, finishing our house, taking advantage of being outdoors, and working on a project to convert a truck.

    At the moment we can only receive volunteers in a camping site enabled within our plot, we have all the necessary implements to camp comfortably and satisfactorily.


    Hace 2 años, comenzamos a hacer nuestra vida en el campo, junto a mi compañera Valentina y nuestra pequeña hija.

    Nuestra idea es poder formar una pequeña finca en la cual seamos capaces de producir nuestra comida, y compartir esta nueva forma de vida, retomando conceptos que hoy en día han sido olvidados en nuestra sociedad.
    La idea es poder replicar este aprendizaje en nuetra tierra, por lo tanto necesitamos ayuda en la parte de construcción y trabajo con la tierra. Queremos utilizar el minimo de recursos y tambien reutilizar materiales,no poseemos muchos recursos pero tenemos muchos conocimientos y buenas ideas que queremos compartir con todos los que quieran venir a ayudarnos; también estamos muy abiertos a recibir voluntarios que traigan nuevas ideas para nuestra tierra.

    Nuestra pequeña Parcela queda ubicada en la comuna San Pedro de Melipilla, a uno 130 Kms de Santiago y a unos 90 de Pichilemu, en una localidad llamada Corneche, la comuna es conocida por la producción de Frutillas, esta pequeña localidad queda alejada de la civilizacion aproximadamente a 6kms de algun negocio cercano, pero tenemos todas las comodidades para tener una vida sin necesidad de ir muy a menudo a la ciudad (luz, agua, internet, comida, movilización propia). A unos pocos kilómetros se encuentra el Rio Rapel, con preciosos paisajes.

    Hoy yo y mi compañera (Valentina) nos encontramos trabajando en nuestras respectivas profesiones a media jornada, y dedicamos tiempo a la crianza de nuestra Hija. Los demas días de la semana estamos en casa realizando trabajos en la Huerta, realizando terminaciones de nuestra casa, aprovechando de estar al aire libre, y trabajando en un proyecto de camperización de una camio.

    Por el momento solo podemos recibir voluntarios en un lugar de camping habilitado dentro de nuestra parcela, tenemos todos los implementos necesarios para acampar de manera comoda y satisfactoria.

    You will work 5 hours a day (schedules will vary depending on the prevailing climate) and then you can go for a walk in the woods, explore, rest, also if you like climbing we can practice some routes that we equip on the plot of some neighbors, we They really like life in the open air, therefore we try to be very careful with the flora and fauna of the sector.
