¡école!
was born from a common love for the nature of southern Chile by a group of Chileans ans North Americans. We purchased this hostal to create a place full of energy, keeping it inexpensive, yet with excellent food and ambience. It has been six years since we have realized our dream and ¡école!'s commitment to quality, service and the environment in the Araucania Region continues to grow.



But ¡école! is more than this: our true passion is the ecology of southern Chile through our support of the Lahuen Foundation and our contact with other groups like Codeff, Defensores del Bosque, the Pumalin Park and Ancient Forest International in California..
