    Description

    We are a family of Chiloé composed by marriage and three daughters. We live in the rural sector of Quento, located in the peninsula of Rilán in the commune of Castro in Chiloé.
    We have a rural tourism project in which we offer accommodation, local gastronomy and navigation through the channels of the archipelago. In addition we have some kayaks to sail in the estuary.
    In addition, we have an orchard that gives us the supplies for the family consumption and of our visitors.
