Silvina Verdún, Daniel Seeliger, their son Zen and a number of good friends who have come and stayed during their 20 years in the valley to form the beautiful community of Refugio Cochamó and Camping La Junta. This incredible team of people that includes nature lovers, climbers, hikers, guides, Chilean guachos, carpenters, cooks, gardeners, environmentalists, etc. help and have helped tirelessly in many ways, such as putting together this website.
We have had many late-night conversations among-st us, locals and guests about the valley and the direction its heading. Smaller details sometimes varied in opinion, but our shared vision has always been and continues to be that Cochamó Valley and its surrounding are a place to share for all, but at the same time acknowledging our impact, and the continuous search to find the best balance to minimize our footprint for those living in, working at or just visiting the Cochamó Valley.
We are proud supporters of the following groups, who have contributed much to Cochamó Valley, helping its neighbors, locals who work there, confronting environmental issues and a improving the visitor's experience:
