Conservation

Our cabins collect and filter rain water to reduce our consumption from the well. All of the grey water of our lodge will go through a treatment plant that will make htis water reusable for irrigation

Upcycling

The main structure support of all the building in Eko Patagonia will be based on once used up-cycled shipping containers  instead of harvesting local wood… But don’t worry, once you step foot inside you will be amazed!

Renewable

We use solar and wind energy wherever possible, with the aim to completely offset our consumption one day.

Clean air

One hard decision to stand behind in our conservation efforts, was to not use wood to heat the cabins, though the look and cozy feeling of the traditional Patagonian wood stoves would provide for a local experience, they are also the #1 pollution agent in the region.

So we are using more modern ways to keep you comfortable while you visit. But, we will have a traditional fire in the common areas so you still get the experience while we reduce significantly our impact to the environment.

Locals Only

COMMUNITY

We hire locally and buy locally – Aiming to provide farm to table ingredients, harvest local talent and purchase consumables that benefit the locale: from the soap we use to the wool blankets you will cozy up to.
