Reflections from Our Guests

"We still talk about those quiet mornings by the lake. The forest felt alive, and Hermogenes showed us secret paths we’d never have found on our own. Meals were delicious, rustic but perfect. Didn’t want to leave."
Sarah Milton
"We joined the Estancia Ñireguao retreat not really knowing what to expect… and it ended up being one of the most meaningful experiences we’ve ever had. Long conversations, local stories, and absolute peace. Thank you so much!"
Jonas Weber
"Between Forest & Lakes was absolutely magic. The silence, the nature, the calm—it hits you deep. Not luxury in the traditional sense, but luxury in how you feel. We fished, hiked, rested. Everything felt intentional."
Ana Beltrán
"This felt like discovering a place no one else knows about. Drift by the Pacific is wild, remote, raw… and amazing. Hermogenes made us laugh so much and shared stories from his life that really stayed with us."
Chris & Dana Freeman
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends. Hermógenes has a calm presence and deep knowledge of the land. I especially loved the forest bathing experience—I've never felt more grounded."
Emily R.
Sailing, trekking, waking up to the Pacific breeze... every day felt like it was designed just for us. The food was so fresh and simple, and the rhythm of the days was perfect. Gracias Hermógenes, eres un grande!"
Sven Richter
"Best part of our Chile trip! The silence, the lake, the night sky full of stars… everything felt untouched. It was exactly what we needed.""
