Property information

Our great Casona El Resguardo is a historic building that housed the old Chilean Customs between 1700 and 1910, converted into a hostel by its owners. Equipped with air conditioning, living room, pool table, swimming pool, patio and common spaces, it is the perfect place to escape to the mountains and enjoy nature. Puppies and kittens, horses and chickens coexist in harmony with the environment, being an important part of our staff. Check our website for special fees and activities.

Neighbourhood information

The Colorado River valley, located in the San Esteban, is a mountainous area little known in the region. Our Casona, located at the beginning of the valley, offers an excellent perspective for walks around this mountainous area. Its untouched flora and fauna stand out, as well as places where condors can be seen at low altitude.
