The experience

Hi, we live on 6,800 square meters in the foothills of the Andes, in the Malloa commune, El Maquis, in Chile's sixth region. It's a beautiful place located at the base of a small artificial pond, a few minutes from a river and surrounded by several vineyards. On the property, we have a geodesic dome where guests can stay, equipped with electricity, water, internet, and a natural pool. :)
