Description
Hi, My name is Silvie, I'm Swiss and I live in Cochamó, in the Lake District, with my 8 year old son.
After 2 years of backpacking in South America, I landed here in this beautiful place, called Cochamó (Lake District).
With my experience as a tourist and volunteer, I implemented a small sustainable hostel above the village, surrounded by nature. I also love plants and the philosophie of permaculture, so, I have a small green house, vegetable garden and I am working on a food forest.
My place is situated 5 km away from the centre of Cochamó (50 minutes walk), and 1 and a half hour from the closest city (Puerto Varas). So, it's a little paradise for someone who loves nature, tranquility, trekking, gardening etc. But, there is no night life apart from watching the stars !
