We are
not a tourist-like destination
because we understand tourism as a
cross-cultural experience,
equal-to-equal, not simply a trade
relationship.
Here, with
Chelenko
lake in front of us,
it is possible to look into the
waters and imagine the past
adventures of pioneers, explorers,
miners…
Beyond the scenery, the lake hides
dreams, tragedies, longings, hopes,
losses, which have influenced,
together with the climate, the local
people.
Nowadays and for hundreds of years,
the Patagonia region has attracted
people from all over the world who
have been transforming this remote
area into a cultural melting pot.
In the same way, we arrived here too,
trying to live sustainably with
nature, applying a knowledge of
Permaculture, Ecology and common
sense, of course.
Spending some days in this truly
off-the-beaten track place, it is
maybe a chance not just of 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.
Or even it could be somewhere to
learn about organic agriculture,
renewable
energies or bio-building. |
