Organic farming in Chiloé
This leader in Chiloé agritourism shares her knowledge of organic farming with tourists from all over the world.
The colorful wilderness of the Chiloe Archipelago continuously awes visitors with its amazing landscapes, which are also home to some beautiful and complex ecosystems.
Just steps away from Refugia Chiloe, you’ll find what many believe to be the best spot for birdwatching in Chile: the Pullao wetlands on Chiloé island.
The wetlands stretch for about one kilometer and serve as a seasonal home to thousands of species migrating from the northern hemisphere, such as the Hudsonian godwit, the whimbrel and the Rhynchops niger, among others.
“It truly is an exceptional place to birdwatch. Bird species change throughout the seasons, flocking there for food; this of course allows us to study their behavior and take good photos,” said Gonzalo Sánchez, Refugia Chiloe’s Excursions manager.
By using binoculars and paying close attention to birdsongs and calls, guests explore the Pullao wetlands and discover Chiloe’s rich natural world in depth. Both experts and amateurs find the experience highly memorable.
However, this important ecosystem is also very fragile. For this reason, Refugia Chiloe and its entire excursion team are committed to the wetland’s preservation, developing practices that promote sustainable management and protection of its biodiversity.
