    Description

    *Please contact host in Spanish

    We are a family of farmers, aware of the environment in which we live, that for seven years we have built our home and life project.
    Our project is located in the middle of the large island of Chiloé; between native forest and sea we produce vegetables, collect fruits, take care of some bee hives for our honey consumption and take care of chilota horses.

    Somos una familia de agricultores, conscientes del medio en el que vivimos, que durante siete años hemos construido nuestro hogar y proyecto de vida.
    Nuestro proyecto se encuentra emplazado en medio de la isla de Chiloé; entre bosque nativo y mar producimos hortalizas (nuestro huerto cuenta con certificación orgánica), recolectamos frutos, cuidamos de algunas colmenas de abejas para nuestro consumo de miel y cuidamos caballos de raza chilota que nos ayudan a mantener fertilizada nuestra tierra.
