The Experience

We are a family farm with a developing bio-intensive garden, all on a dairy farm owned by German settlers. We are located 20 km from the city of Puerto Varas and 15 km from the Calbuco Volcano, surrounded by a beautiful river and lush endemic nature. We promote outdoor living and love producing what we eat. We have a project to grow our garden from 500 m2 to 1 hectare. Let's share challenges!

My experience at the house was very enriching. Sofia is a warm host, always paying attention to even the smallest details and making sure I was comfortable at all times. I gained lessons, experience, and many laughs. It's a very pleasant and family-like environment, and above all, healing. I thank Sofía and her family for having me, and there is no doubt it's a place I would return to.
