In this Destino No Turístico you can enjoy a solar shower, learn how to save energy and experience life in the countryside. Maybe learn about composting toilets or participate in a bio-building workshop … all is possible. Perhaps best of all: go for a walk and mingle with villagers.
Spending time in this truly off-the-beaten track place is to experience not just being bowled over by the beauty of the mountains, rivers and glaciers but also of sharing time with villagers and getting to know daily life in the countryside: to taste sun-baked bread, or work in the gardens. It could even be somewhere to participate in a workshop about organic agriculture, sun energy, or bio building.
ACCOMMODATION - THE ECO HOSTEL: Located in the midst of native forest and in front of the lake, this brand-new hostel has capacity for only 8 guests. There is a twin-bed room, a spacious dormitory for 6 and a kitchen-dining room available for guests.
