Description
I live in Melimoyu, a little village at the south of Chile. Melimoyu was the last colonization project in Chile developed by the Chilean state in 1980. Currently 35 people live in Melimoyu, and all of them started of as settlers. My family has a little hostel where workers in the salmon industry stay. I have an idea to start a tourism project in Melimoyu because it is a beautiful spot with lots to do and see-- we even have nearby a mystical volcano called Melimoyu. According to history, one can find in the slopes of this volcano a magical portal that is connected with the ceasares city.
We also started an organic agriculture project and we have 2 greenhouses
We are building an ecocampproject, it is a dome with an incredible view, now we are building 2 more domes that will be connected to terraces near the sea, we have a hostel and we work with tourists and workers from the salmon farm.
