Eko Patagonia

Estamos en un lago con una vista hermosa, con la oportunidad de participar en un proyecto sustentable, conociendo de cerca la cultura, compartiendo con locales, aprendiendo y cuidando el planeta. Dentro del lago se puede hacer trekking, pescar, kayaking, ver cascadas, trabajar junto a la tierra, contruir y proponer ideas amigables con el medio ambiente.
MPORTANT: HIGHLY REMOTE!
The distances between one attraction and another are very far. The lake is very remote and is at the bottom of a big hill about a mile long to the top. Also, from the airport BBA to Coyhaique city is approximately 1 hour. From Coyhaique to Eko is 35minutes 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 in the lake it’s beautiful, peaceful and isolated. There are **no food or transportation services close by** and those which are 12km away, don’t work normal hours or are not reliable, and close frequently for no reason.

Somos una pareja de cuidadores en un hotel recien comenzando, con un proyecto sustentabe y amigable con el planeta. Ambos hablamos ingles y buscamos ganar experiencia con viajeros y recibir ayuda en nuestras tareas diarias construyendo, manteniendo las instalaciones y la limpieza del lugar. Buscamos personas flexibles, capaces de integrarse a nuestro dia a dia, ofrecemos las comidas y un lugar donde sentirse como en casa. 1 vez por semana viajamos a Coyhaique y podemos llevarlos y traerlos mientras necesitemos ir, pero no aseguramos el transporte. Podemos recogerlos de el aeropuerto de Balmaceda o de Coyhaique.

My experience was positive. I carried out activities in carpentry, cleaning, and construction. The place is beautiful, and the facilities during my stay were comfortable. I was well received and, despite some communication issues at the end, everything was resolved. Patagonia is incredible, and I recommend the experience. Eko Patagonia is still under development, so those who choose to volunteer will have the opportunity to contribute and help build the history of this place.

Fantastic experience at Eko Patagonia! David, the owner, was so welcoming and really treated us like we were one of the lodge guests.
Work we did: painted a building, re-organized a building and storage area, built a path to one of the cabins, made food, helped in organising one of the cabins.
Plenty of off time - we were taken into town and went to see a local Expo, went on walks and swam in the lake.
We were introduced to some local people and get to experience a bit of the local culture, which was great.

It means a lot to hear about your time with us at the lake. The path you built to the cabin creates exactly the kind of connection we hope for - both literal and figurative. Those shared meals and quiet moments swimming in the lake often become the memories that stay longest.
Thank you for rolling up your sleeves alongside us - reorganizing spaces and painting doesn't just help physically, it brings new energy that guests feel when they arrive.

Startup adventure travel operation in a gorgeous setting. Simple daily chores (washing, cleaning, light work) shouldered with plenty of time for hiking and local contact. Settling is very comfortable and beautiful.

Mi estadía en Eko Patagonia fue extraordinaria, Diego junto a David unos excelentes anfitriones, en todo momento me hicieron sentir como una más, siempre compartiendo información relevante y fundamental sobre el entorno en el que me encontraba. El ambiente que se vive es de otro mundo, la magia de la Patagonia no se puede explicar, es algo que simplemente debes vivir. La vista desde las cabañas es impagable, no hay nada mas lindo que despertarse y ver el hermoso Lago Barroso. Las actividades realizadas siempre fueron sencillas y claras, Diego siempre muy dispuesto a resolver cualquier duda.

Gorgeous location, remote lake at the foot of beautiful mountains, with amazing hikes directly accessible and drives to amazing waterfalls and rivers and glaciers and mountains. We had a car, which made it even easier, but Diego and David provide transportation for the world Packer workers. Since the lodge is not yet open for guest, we stayed in one of the houses, and it was truly amazing. Incredible views.
