    Description

    I am Alexis, next to my girlfriend Kristel and my parents Elena and Edelmo we developed an Agrotourism project at the mouth of Espolón Lake. We are located at 8 km from Futaleufú, in a very quiet place famous for its great river called Futaleufú. We rely on small agriculture and tourism in the summer. Actually, we have an orchard, greenhouse, fruit trees and raspberries. Also farm animals such as horses, cows, sheep, chickens, turkeys, geese and a large native forest.
