Huelmo Un Destino No Turistico
Puerto Montt, Chile

Huelmo is not a typical tourist destination. But paradoxically it has everything many tourists actually want, the South of Chile, just as it always has been.

Our eco-lodge is by the sea, with the Huelmo Island opposite and among native forest.
Huelmo is a starting point to visit the Lake District, to go to Chiloé Island or where just chill out before embarking to Patagonia or after crossing from Argentina.

But above all, it is a scenic place to relax and to explore trekking, rowing across the bay or even snorkeling in this calm waters...Wherever you go, you will admire the native flora surrounding and the great variety of birds.

Staying in Huelmo is a rural and intercultural exchange, you can meet the locals who will show you their crafts as boat carpenter, knitting wool artisan, mussels farmerand you can participate in daily life: learning how to fish salmons, picking up berries from the forest, or just making the bread together, or cutting firewood, for example.
We make our own bread, fruit cakes, jams...
Guests can use the traditional southern wood stove to cook. It is possible to get free-range eggs, salmon and seafood from the villagers. Also, you can fish by yourself, using a fishing net along the seaside.
But if you look for restaurants, tv, internet or souvenir shops, you will not find them here, because Huelmo is not a tourist-like destination.
