  Description

  Hello we are a family from Chile patagonia, Futaleufú specifically, we are dedicated to sustainable tourism and forest conservation, we are designers and we live in this place because we believe as a life ideology to have contact with clean nature and strengthen the soul. From that concept we have designed our life together with our daughter and to be able to progress in a harmonious way receiving tourists and visitors from our country to enjoy the evergreen forest that surrounds us.
  The Futaleufú river that has so much international and national appeal is a wonderful place, a part of our project is right on the edge of this river.
  The work we do is maintenance of trails, construction and expansion of protected areas, stations and viewpoints, cafeteria, cabins, where as a team we make the place work.
  We have designed and built this place to the pulse which allowed us to assess the nature, the environment and the natural and cultural heritage of the place.
  We declare that we love this land and protect it forever.
  Our main dream is that people who visit us never forget their way through Futaleufú.
  We are Lorena, Walter and Katalina ....
