Volunteering Abroad Shouldn't Cost the Earth

Join Our Incredible Team at Eco Resort Chile

 

Description

Our 123-acre spiritual oasis encompassing an enchanting world of natural beauty and authentic living in the south of Chile has 3 self-catering recycled shipping container cabins in the forest; and, 6 repurposed concrete tube rooms set inside a hill with a communal kitchen and bathroom. With a passion for being environmentally sustainable and self-sufficient, Samadhi Eco Resort achieved EarthCheck Bronze Benchmarked status - the first in Chile to do so. EarthCheck is the leading eco-certification and benchmarking organization in the world. We have two organic greenhouses and organic crops, free-ranging chickens, and volcano views. We have an array of games, darts, badminton, archery, a small library, and plenty of hiking for your spare time. We also have a list of day trips (extra cost as a tour guide is needed or transportation) you can choose from, and when there are cultural events and markets we are the first there :) We also offer opportunities for you to use your volunteer hours once a week at the local school, or in other events where we can help the community. We are looking for volunteers to join us on the journey. Please see our Facebook and Instagram posts (SamadhiEcoResort) for an overview of what our volunteers' adventures entail.
