A culinary volunteer’s project in Central Chile

19/07/2023 – One might never expect that amidst the sprawling landscapes of Central Chile, a culinary haven awaits eager enthusiasts. FusionNativa, located just an hour south of Santiago, offers a one-of-a-kind experience that marries the love for food with the thirst for adventure.

FusionNativa’s volunteer program

For someone with a penchant for cooking, FusionNativa’s volunteer program is a dream come true. Here, one isn’t just confined to the four walls of a kitchen. Instead, the individual is introduced to the heart of Chilean cuisine, dishing out bread, desserts, and other delights. But what makes it truly memorable is the community. Although the primary role revolves around culinary tasks, there’s an entire team by one’s side, sharing techniques, stories, and laughter.

Food and accommodation

Yet, the culinary delights are just the beginning. FusionNativa ensures that its volunteers not only eat well but live well. Every day, three sumptuous vegetarian meals showcase the richness of local produce. After a fulfilling day, volunteers have varied options for rest. Some might prefer the cosiness of a room, while others, with a more adventurous streak, might opt for a tent, letting the nocturnal sounds of nature lull them to sleep.

Opportunities in your free time

However, FusionNativa’s allure isn’t limited to its culinary pursuits. The kitchen might be bustling with activity, but the surrounding premises are alive with opportunities for rejuvenation and learning. Yoga sessions help align mind, body, and soul, while rock climbing challenges the physical boundaries. For those curious about different cultures, the diverse international volunteer community offers a chance for language exchange.

But it’s not just about what one can learn; it’s also about what one can contribute. Volunteers with a green thumb can immerse themselves in gardening, helping nurture the flora that paints FusionNativa’s landscape. Others might find joy in carpentry projects, contributing to the ongoing evolution of this haven.

Geography

The proximity to Rancagua and Santiago ensures that the outside world is never too far away. Yet, with attractions like wine routes, mountainous terrains, and even nearby beaches, one might find little reason to venture out.

FusionNativa is more than just a volunteer opportunity; it’s a community. Currently, home to a handful of dedicated souls, it beckons others to join in, making the family a bit larger, the experiences richer, and the memories unforgettable.
