Who We Are<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Silvina Verd\u00fan, Daniel Seeliger, and their son Zen opened the campground in 2004, and over the decades they welcomed good friends who came and stayed to form the beautiful community of Refugio Cocham\u00f3 and Camping La Junta. Today, Mono, Nina, Moni, Juan, Arturo, Pauline, and Irma, as well as the dog Lihuen, the oxen, horses, and chickens, all form part of the family here. This incredible team of people are nature lovers, climbers, hikers, guides, guachos, carpenters, cooks, gardeners, environmentalists, etc. They all continue to contributed tirelessly in many ways to the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Future of the Valley<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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 Cocham\u00f3 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 Cocham\u00f3 Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n
