Farmarbeit Chile

Arbeitsort

The farms and haciendas are spread all over Chile. In the central region of Chile there are many colonial haciendas, traditional manors and wineries that have opened to tourists. In the south of Chile you will find rather small family businesses in a picturesque landscape. In Patagonia, on the other hand, there are many former estancias (sheep farms), which have meanwhile turned into well-visited tourist businesses with a wide range of excursions.

The farms are located in beautiful scenic regions and offer you the opportunity to get to know Chilean country life in all its originality.
