For those who enjoy the great outdoors and adventure, this project is ideal! At the base of the Chilean Andes, in a breathtakingly picturesque, nearly unspoiled setting of lakes, crystal-clear rivers, mountains, and primordial forest, lies a 3000 hectare natural park managed by our volunteer project. Within the protected region, one may see characteristic habitats of southern Chile: temperate rainforests with millennial trees supporting a diverse array of wildlife species.
A well-managed ecotourism project is the only way to open up this enchanted region of the world to the public without causing harm. While visitors are welcome, the preservation of nature is of utmost importance. In order to ensure that the capacity is never surpassed and that the normal course of events is not disturbed, only a restricted number of people may stay there at once.
There are 18 km of hiking routes throughout the park for hikers to explore, and they can stay in either a basic mountain hut in the center of the park or a more opulent lodge on its periphery. Kayaking is a fantastic method to see this tiny paradise, as it is adjacent to Lake Tagua Tagua.
Volunteers ought to be proactive and hands-on. There are numerous jobs to be done, including working as a tour guide, maintaining mountain huts and hiking paths, maintaining the information center, working in the forest, and much more.
Because the project is so remote, you should be conscious of how special it is. Sometimes it's unusually quiet and desolate. Only on days off are the closest cities, Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt, accessible by bus, each taking around three hours.
