Who are we

We are an agency that provides an alternate form of tourism that focuses more on promoting culture and the way of life in the Llanquihue, Palena, and Chiloé Provinces located in the Lakes Region in southern Chile.  We specialize in agro-tourism, eco-tourism, and ethno-tourism.  All three types of tourism are considered “alternatives” because they divert from traditional tourism.  This last one presents high rates of exploitation in our zone (for example, Puerto Varas has the largest number of 5 star hotels in Chile after Santiago); not like the alternative tourism, because it has been neglected and undervalued by residents and tourists that don’t get other offers.  We feel that it is our duty is to promote the rural way of life of our region, to enhance the ethno-tourism of the huilliches communities, and to develop the ecotourism through visits to national parks to preserve and protect them.

Mission: To promote the traditions and customs of our zone by exposing its cultural values and protecting the environment through the ecotourism.

Vision: Our worldview fosters the development of traditions and manners, which allows us to keep an identity that is unique within our country and to give us ownership of our land. Likewise, we think that the proper care of environment will provide us and our children with access to a better future, so we use this as our fundamental principle.
