Guaranteed independence: “Ocho Águilas Eco Lodge”
Invest wisely and fulfill your dream of living in comfort and tranquility.
Have you ever imagined what your life would be like, surrounded by nature, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but without losing digital connectivity?
If you can dream it, you can accomplish it.
Here, in the so-called “Norte Chico” of Chile, some 430 kilometers north of the capital Santiago de Chile, you can experience the perfect fusion between a quiet life and harmony with nature. This is where stressed-out Santiago citizens and, in recent years, more and more North Americans and Europeans come to relax and recover their good spirits.
What can you expect to do here?
Telecommuting: A calm environment is an extraordinary source of inspiration: greater mental clarity leads to greater productivity and creativity. Nature has a soothing effect that invites you to enjoy outdoor activities such as:
Trekking and hiking : The surroundings of Ocho Aguilas feature areas of uneven terrain, ideal for exercise , even if it is a light hike.
Sports : With the proximity of the sea, sports such as surfing, scuba diving, fishing, are just around the corner. Want to surf but not in the sea? Sandboarding is a good option, available in the area too!
Ecotourism: Bird photographic safaris on the coast and wetlands, either on your own, or guided tours.
Guided excursions: Andacollo and its mining history. Fray Jorge. Chañaral de Aceituno. Limarí Valley. Ocho Aguilas is your starting point to the most relevant tourist attractions of the Norte Chico.
Astrophotography and astronomy: Chile is host to 70% of the telescopes installed in the world, thanks to its clear night skies. Guests at Ocho Aguilas can safely install their telescopes and cameras on the premises, and marvel at the night sky in total tranquility.
Following the motto “Peace and contact with nature”, there are no TV in the cabins. The calming effect of a quiet environment results in a sense of well-being and tranquility that makes you look at life in a different and positive way. On the grounds there are several decks and pleasant spaces that inspire the practice of yoga, mindfulness, inviting you to rest and read, or simply enjoy the activity of the birds.
Be one with the cycles of nature: The decision to eliminate some component of the vegetation is made when it has been confirmed that there is no way that it will ever grow back. In the Norte Chico there are lot of plants that, due to extreme weather conditions, “hibernate” to keep their water needs to a minimum, and, as soon as two drops of rain fall, they will regrow in an impressive way, if this does not happen, the former vegetation is taken out and replaced by a new native specimen, and the remains of the old one used as part of the compost to nourish the soil.
