  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    One of the benefits will be:
    Improving your climbing technique if you have experience, since you'll be living just meters from climbing routes and it will be impossible to resist climbing.

    If you're a climber, bring your complete climbing gear (ideally).

    The other benefit is undoubtedly that you'll learn to live surrounded by nature, among native forests and the diverse vegetation that invites discovery as you become integrated into the natural environment, getting to know the flora and fauna up close.

    Patagonia and its forests in general are a living treasure.

    Language exchange will take place, making the experience and stay truly enriching.

    Uno de los beneficios será:
    Mejorar su técnica de escalada si tienen conocimiento ya que vivirán a solo metros de las rutas de escalada y será imposible resistirse a trepar.
    Si eres escalador trae tu equipo de Escalada completo (idealmente)

    El otro beneficio sin duda es que aprenderán a vivir en medio de lo natural, entre bosques de árboles nativos y la variada vegetación que invita a descubrir a medida que van integrándose a lo natural, conociendo de cerca la Flora y fauna.

    La Patagonia y bosques en general es un tesoro vivo.

    Se generará intercambio de idiomas, lo cual hace que la experiencia y estancia sea integral.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The best activity for free time in a climbing park is CLIMBING, a real treat for those who love this sport. However, there are many other activities to enjoy, such as fishing in the Ibáñez River, swimming in General Carrera Lake, visiting local farmers and sharing some mate with them, or simply relaxing in a natural environment as beautiful as Patagonia.
    We are very close to Cerro Castillo, one of the most famous treks in Patagonia.

    La mejor actividad para los momentos libres en un parque de escalada es ESCALAR un lujo para quienes aman este deporte, aunque también se pueden realizar muchas actividades más como por ejemplo salir a pescar al Rio Ibáñez o ir a bañarse al lago general Carrera, ir a visitar a los campesinos y compartir un mate con ellos o simplemente gozar del relajo de estar en un entorno natural tan hermoso como la Patagonia.
    Estamos muy cerca del Cerro Castillo uno de los trekking más famosos para hacer en la Patagonia.
