Ultimate Glamping

Fundo Panguilemu is just a 20 minute drive from Coyhaique, Chile.  Stepping into your booked yurt is settling into surprisingly luxurious accommodation overlooking the renowned Simpson River – famous for waters rich with trout and perfect for fly fishing.  and quiet.  Peace and quiet with dark skies and stars like diamonds.

Relax and get away from it all, fly fish, go for a hike, sign up for horse trekking, or just enjoy being on a working farm complete with sheep, cattle, chickens, and horses.  Owners José and Elizabeth are dedicated to regenerating their beautiful property to an even higher level of productivity and beauty through proper management of resources and they are happy to share their knowledge with anyone interested in such endeavors.

Follow along on Fundo Panguilemu Facebook page.  There is good reason to plan your Chilean trip around this outstanding experience.

Trekking and Mustering

Can i just giggle?  will i sound like an insane person?  you’ll forgive me when you see the photos of the horse trekking our Savory Journey group took this morning at Fundo Panguilemu.  Much to Jose’s frustration, the sheep were out, but we all enjoyed mustering them back to their proper paddock — On horseback!  Have trailed cattle on foot in Kenya and Argentina, and now mustered sheep on horseback in Chile.  I am blessed.
