Eko Patagonia

We are at a lake with a beautiful view, with the opportunity to participate in a sustainable project, getting to know the local culture up close, sharing with locals, learning and taking care of the planet. Around the lake you can go trekking, fishing, kayaking, see waterfalls, work alongside the land, build and propose ideas friendly to the environment.
IMPORTANT: HIGHLY REMOTE!
The distances between one attraction and another are very long. The lake is very remote and sits at the bottom of a large hill, about a mile up from the bottom to the top. Also, from the Balmaceda airport (BBA) to Coyhaique city is approximately 1 hour. From Coyhaique to Eko is 35 minutes of pavement and 15 minutes on a rough gravel road. From Eko to some of the grand attractions in the area can be 2 hours or more. When you are on the lake it’s beautiful, peaceful and isolated. There are no food or transportation services nearby, and those which are 12 km away do not operate regular hours or are not reliable, and they close frequently for no reason.

We are a pair of caretakers at a hotel just starting out, with a sustainable project that is friendly to the planet. We both speak English and are looking to gain experience with travelers and receive help in our daily tasks by building, maintaining the facilities and the cleanliness of the place. We seek flexible people, able to integrate into our day-to-day; we provide meals and a place to feel at home. Once a week we travel to Coyhaique and we can pick you up and drop you off as needed, but we do not guarantee transportation. We can pick you up from Balmaceda Airport or from Coyhaique.
