Service Partner: Familia Villagran

Horseriding and Farm Life

Thumbnail Service Partner The  Family Villagran is our Partner for horseriding treks and for a program called "living on a farm". They live and work on the Peninsula Levican, which is at the Lago General Carrera.


The Family Villagran's lifestyle is sustained mainly because of their cattle farming and because of a sustainable forestry. They take care from dusk till dawn about their many cattle, horses, goats, turkeys, geese, chicken etc... Mrs Adelaida has gained a very reputable place amongst the members of the small settlement at Levican much because she is constantly working hard in various project groups to achieve the best for her family and the people of Levican. She spins, dyes, weaves or knits wonderfully utile Ponchos, travel bags and other clothing, mostly for her sons. Since she was born she is living in Levican, her father, the so called Rey of Levican settled here many years ago. Because of the eruption of volcano Hudson in 1991, almost all the families land was coverd with a feet thick layer of vulcanic ash. The family fled those conditions to an unaffected area of the region, but when they finally returned, they had to start all over again. As for now many hectars of their lands have been reforestated and so we will have a green forest in the future there.
Guido and Elian are the pillars of their mother, they take care of the herds of cattle and the forestry. Both of them are expert horsemen and true Gauchos. They have quite a lot of experience under their belts, when it comes to cattle and sheep management, since they lived and worked long years in the USA.
