    Description

    Hello, so Daniel and together with my partner Tamara started an eco-touristic project, focused on the conservation of local materials, and the promotion and production of ceramics.
    We are located in a magical place, in a mountainous area, semi-dry, very small inhabited and built with a pristine sky. The geography is very similar to the Elqui Valley, only 140 km apart.
    The land is less than 1 hectare, is at the foot of the mountains and borders with the Conay River, in the interior of the El Tránsito valley in the Atacama region, Chile.

    The project is to build 2 small glamping cabins (4x3m), modern construction for the interior and exterior with adobe and stones so that they do not alter the entanglement, in addition to restoring an ancient life of stones and adobe used by the children, enabling spaces to build a campsite and Motorhome parking, realizar senderos, pircas, mover tierra, plantar árboles, realizar huertas, etc. The land is expanded and all the ideas are welcome. It's a white link that requires a lot of energy and dedication, so that everyone with motivation and willingness to participate will be happy to welcome us to many others.
    It's a very quiet area, only to live with family, adult adults and more, it's ideal for those who want peace and silence. To take a bus to Vallenar, Atacama Region, we need to take a bus together with us on the ground in my vehicle.

    Hola, soy Daniel y junto a mi pareja Támara estamos iniciando un proyecto ecoturístico, enfocado en la conservación de los materiales locales, y la promoción y producción de cerámicas.
    Estamos ubicados en un lugar mágico, una zona montañosa, semi árida, muy poco habitada y por consiguiente con un cielo prístino. La geografía es muy similar al valle del Elqui, sólo 140 km nos separa.
    El terreno es poco más de 1 hectárea, está al pie de las montañas y limita con el río Conay, al interior del valle de El Tránsito en la región de Atacama, Chile.

    El proyecto es construir 2 pequeñas cabañas tipo glamping (4x3m), mezclando construcción moderna para el interior y el exterior con adobe y piedras para que no altere el entorno, además restaurar una antigua vivienda de piedras y adobe utilizada por los crianzeros, habilitar espacios para realizar camping y estacionamientos para motorhome, realizar senderos, pircas, mover tierra, plantar árboles, realizar huertas, etc. El terreno es amplio y toda idea es bienvenida. Es un lienzo en blanco que requiere mucha energía y dedicación, así que toda persona con motivación y ganas de aportar será siempre bienvenidx el tiempo que más nos acomode a ambas partes.
    Es una zona muuuuy tranquila, solamente viven un par de familias, adultos mayores en su mayoría, es ideal para quien desa paz y silencio. Para llegar debes tomar un bus hasta Vallenar, Región de Atacama, nos juntamos y subimos juntos al terreno en mi vehículo.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Támara is a detached ceramista that will soon come to realize the heights it has on the ground, so you can learn a lot from it.
    For my part, you can offer vehicles in a vehicle to recognize where there are petroglyphs and fossils, in addition to visiting hidden places during the foreign visit.

    Támara es una destacada ceramista que pronto comenzará a realizar talleres aquí en el terreno, por ende pueden aprender mucho de ella.
    Por mi parte, puedo ofrecer salidas en vehículo a conocer lugares donde hay petroglifos y fósiles, además de visitar lugares ocultos al visitante foráneo.
