We are proud of our hostel which is actually a historic building in Pucon. It was a monastery in the 1930's where English nuns lived. We have converted the monastery chapel into "El Quincho" (BBQ & gathering place) to honor our favorite Chilean past-time of BBQ!

In the summer of 2011, we are leading a RECYCLING INITIATIVE here in Pucon. Please help us by asking about recycling at any hostel you stay at and by carrying your own bags to the market and by re-using a water bottle. The water in Chile is GOOD and SAFE. Water in Pucon its even better and super Tasty. Bring Your Own Bag!
BAN PLASTIC BAGS AND BOTTLES!
