Description
Our Lodge (Chile) is located 2 hours south from Santiago, in the foothills of the Andes, next to the beautiful Rio Claro.
It is a wonderful place where you can interact with nature and meet the culture of the Chilean Andes. Its a very magical place to be.
The lodge has been run by the Carvallo family, for more than 30 years.
We always have different projects that our workawayers can get involved in; building our new spa, helping with clients, clearing our trekking paths, keeping the cabins clean, maitaining the grounds and gardens... Not two weeks are the same!

Really it's own piece of paradise! Snow capped mountains in the distance, three fun and playful dogs, the sound of the river flowing on by throughout the day and some of the clearest blue skies or starry nights we've ever seen. Food is provided and good - usually doesn't vary from week to week but if you like cooking and are creative, you can cook… read more

What a way to spend two months! Shangri-La became a second home very quickly and it was hard not to settle in to the beautiful surroundings, especially with such great company and canine companions.

I volunteered at the lodge for an unforgettable 3 weeks, and I could not have possibly imagined a better experience. Nestled in the Chilean Andes just 2 hours southeast of Santiago, Shangri-La truly is a very special place. The soothing melody of Rio Claro flowing on the property is a blissful soundtrack, easily heard at all hours of the day.… read more

We enjoyed it so much and do wish to come back here again when we can :) Not only was the place surrounded by nature but filled with fun activites to do and a great place to get away from the cities and all those noises!
