  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Chiloé is a small island with a huge identity: musical, cultural, geographical, ancestral and culinary. Being there is an incredible opportunity for cultural experience.
  Here in Chepu, nature is still very wild. You can enjoy a walk in the dunes and then at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, go hiking into a native forest or discovering Chepu river kayaking…
  
  Depending on what you want to focus on, you can learn from the flora and fauna of the Chiloe native forest, to wood construction. You can also learn about the traditional chilote agricultural system with our neighbors with whom we are in contact.
