    Description

    Hola voluntario (a)!
    Nuestro camping fui creado en 1982 por mi abuela cuando fui construida la primera carretera que conectaba Cucao con el resto de Chiloé. Ubicado dentro del Parque Nacional de Chiloé es un lugar único a la orilla norte del Lago Cucao. EL cual nos permite disfrutar de la naturaleza y una tranquilidad absoluta inmerso en la flora y fauna local.
    Además de eso, somos comprometidos con el respecto hacía la naturaleza y entorno. Así intentamos tener un proyecto de camping sustentable con el medio ambiente. Por ende hoy en día el 70% de la energía que se utiliza en el camping es solar y eólica (funcionamiento de las duchas, baños, luz, calefacción) y seleccionamos y reciclamos la basura producida por nuestra actividad.
    Proponemos a nuestros voluntarios un ambiente familiar típico chilote caluroso representado principalmente por la abuela, mi tío y yo. El lugar ubicado dentro del Parque Nacional Chiloé ofrece un ambiente único y muy calmo rico de actividades (kayak, lancha, pesca, senderismo en el parque o hasta el Muelle de las Almas, playas vírgenes…) después del trabajo o para hacer los fines de semana.
    Te esperamos!


    Our camping was founded by my grandmother in 1982 when a road connecting Cucao with the rest of Chiloe was built. Located inside of the national park of Chiloe, this unique place on the northern shore of Cucao lake allows to enjoy the piece and richness of local fauna and flora.
    With respect to the mother nature our goal is to create a sustainable and environmental-friendly campsite, using 70 per cent of solar energy (showers, light, heating) and waste recycling.

    To our volunteers we offer a warm friendly environment represented by our grandmother, my uncle and me. You can enjoy this relaxed place, located inside of the national park, doing many different activities such as kayaking, boat trips, fishing, trekking in the park and sourrounded areas, enjoying virgin beaches, or having fun with local people of Cucao). You can do all these activities during the day once your work is finished, or during the weekends which are free.
    We look forward to hearing from you!
