Claudia and Fernando

We are a nature-loving couple who, after living in Santiago for a decade, decided that we were fed up with all that madness and that a radical change was necessary.

The search for a place where we could live in a natural environment and where we could develop a business related to nature tourism brought us to Punucapa, a beautiful rural town surrounded by fields and wildlife.

This is how Refugio El Robledal was born, a magical place that we love to share with people who want to spend time surrounded by wonderful nature and disconnect from everyday life in total tranquility.

Claudia, a food engineer born in the Andes, lived her entire childhood and adolescence in Brazil. A nature lover, for many years she was part of the German Andean Club where she learned mountaineering techniques that have helped her explore many wild corners of our mountain range.

She loves to read and is fond of engraving. She also likes cooking and is always exploring new alternatives and recipes.

Fernando, a native of Valdivia and an amateur photographer, has a history full of adventures that includes a past as a drummer for the 80s bands Aterrizaje Forzoso and Sexual Democracia. He also spent a few years living in Los Angeles, USA and many years as a mountaineer, climber and high mountain instructor.

He is a fan of outdoor activities including kayaking and packraft, but above all he is a lover of nature and wildlife.
