    Description

    We are María Isabel and Pedro, our dreams brought us back to the South, in search of water, forests and the rhythm of nature. We have created this space for those who, like us, seek to reconnect with the air, land and water in a different way.
    This place is a rural lodging, it has a large front garden where the parking lot is located, we also have a back garden, there you can find our greenhouse and sauna, and various fruit trees such as apple trees.
    The main experience we want to deliver is the warmth of home, that's why we are looking for people who want to transmit that warmth to our guests and meanwhile... who want to embrace the opportunity to get to know the beginning of the famous Carretera Austral in Chile!

    La principal experiencia que queremos entregar es el calor de hogar, buscamos personas que quieran transmitir ese calor a nuestros huéspedes y de paso… que quieran aprovechar de conocer el inicio de la famosa Carretera Austral en Chile !

    Regarding public transportation, we are in a rural area, so it operates with less frequency. There are only two buses that pass in front of the hostel some days. However, we are a 20-minute walk from Puelo town, where buses arrive and depart 4-5 times a day to the city of Puerto Montt (3 1/2 hrs). There are also local individuals who offer private trips, such as Uber, and we also have one bicycle available if you wish to use.

    Breakfast and a main meal (lunch or dinner) will be provided by the hostel and is self-service. Volunteers can also occupy the kitchen and prepare their own food, coordinating schedules and spaces in advance (the kitchen is not open to guests).
