WORK: The volunteers will continue with the masonry work in the upper part of a section of the aqueduct as well as with the construction of the wooden truss using traditional methods that will serve to restore one of the arches of this historical monument, the removal of the joints in poor condition, and their restitution using lime to prepare the mortar with cactus additive (mucilage) to fill the joints. They will also work on facing the stone in some parts of the aqueduct. Awareness activities will be carried out with the local population on the importance of protecting their cultural heritage. In addition, they will organize recreational activities at the end of the day and there will be rest days where they will be able to visit important landmarks in the region.
ACCOMMODATION: Volunteers will be housed in a house with all services. Volunteers need to bring a sleeping bag. Food will be prepared by the volunteers and sometimes by local families.
