My home is located 7 km from Queilen (you can look it up like this on Google Maps), in a town called Aituy and which is 30 minutes from Chonchi, a town with typical Chiloé churches and 1 hour from Castro, the capital of the Chiloé Province. Public transport passes outside the house towards Chonchi or Castro, you can also visit the Cucao National Park and for which, you must get off at Chonchi and take a new bus that will take 30 minutes to the National Park.
My house is located in the countryside, so a car is preferable, but it is not essential either, since there is public transport.
Queilen is a perfect place to base yourself prior to the Carretera Austral, since through Castro (70 km) or Quellón (100 km) you can access Chaitén or Puerto Cisnes by ferry, at the beginning or intermediate of the Austral highway respectively.
The space
My home consists of a living-dining room, a kitchenette, a kitchen, and two rooms: one double and the other with two 1 1/2 square beds, so I can receive 4 people comfortably. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils to cook and make the stay pleasant. For heating, a pellet stove is used, with which it will be much easier to heat the house, since you only have to turn on a button, which is very comfortable. There is also satellite TV with a full plan, with all the premium channels!
We also provide a cell phone through which you can share the internet and take it to the place you want, for national calls and use social networks or google maps for your routes in Chiloé.

Neighbourhood
A lot of nature, tranquility and a lot of culture on the Island of Chiloé.
We will help you in any way we can :)
Getting around
The ideal is to go by car, but there is also public transport to move around the island
The house is beautiful. It has everything you need for a perfect stay. Sebastian was super friendly and was always attentive so that we enjoyed our exchange. We loved staying at Aituy. We will return and we will wait for you in San Martin when you want to come
We had a wonderful exchange with Sebastián ❤️ His mother waited for us since he wasn't there at the time and everything turned out just great!
He gave us all the tips to explore the Island of Chiloé, which is very beautiful and I highly recommend visiting. The house is very beautiful and cozy. It has a very precise decoration that we loved, we had everything we needed to have a perfect exchange. Without a doubt, we will return one day.
Thank you very much Sebastian
Sebastian stayed in our studio and was an excellent guest. He left everything very clean and tidy, made the bed up and did the laundry before the next exchange came in. Communication with him was always pleasant and straightforward.
I can wholeheartedly recommend exchanging with Sebastian!
We had the wonderful opportunity to host Sebastian and his family. It was a very nice experience, they were very nice and respectful guests, plus we could talk about traveling in Europe and South America, we felt very close to them and more then guests they became friends. We hope to visit then in Chile in the future :)
Tuvimos unos dias hermosos en el departamento de Janice! 😁 Era todo muy cómodo y la ubicación era muy cómoda para nosotros :)
Me encantaría volver algún día donde Janice y obviamente si ellos quieren venir a Chile, los recibiremos con los brazos abiertos. Realmente fue una estadía maravillosa y recomiendo encarecidamente quedarse en el departamento. Tuvimos una excelente comunicación tanto con Janice como su hijo y me encantaría volver algún día a Londres.
Muchas gracias por su hospitalidad.

La estadía en la casa de Jenn fue magnífica! 😁
La habitación era confortable y realmente nos sentimos muy a gusto. Recomiendo totalmente alojarse en la casa de Jenn, son muy amables y nos dieron recomendaciones para poder disfrutar de la ciudad :)
Muchas gracias por alojarnos, Gante es hermoso! Es segunda vez que lo visito y no me canso de decir que es bellísimo. Muchas gracias por la hospitalidad y cuando vengan a Chile sin duda pueden pasar por nuestro hogar 😁
Sebastian
Paula was an excellent guest during the time of the stay!
They took wonderful photos of our terrace (which I will upload soon). Otherwise communication was expeditious. They brought me some delicious chocolates, so I hope when I go to San Martín I bring something delicious from here :)
I totally recommend an exchange with Paula and I hope to go to San Martín de Los Andes soon.
It was a pleasure to have been able to exchange with you again :)
Without a doubt they can come back whenever they want as it has become our custom!
Many greetings and thank you very much for your warmth and joy.
We wait for you again!
The exchange was splendid. I thank Rosa for her respect towards our house and I hope she will visit us again soon 😉
The house was tidy and we were able to share pleasant moments with his family. Thank you very much for your gifts ❤️

Honestly, I haven't had the chance to travel around the world as much, we've had more chance to receive guests and that satisfies us :)
We always try to help the traveler in what we can and to make them feel comfortable in our house. We hope to make many friends here and have a great time!
We want to discover the wonders of other countries and the local way of life of each region that we don't know about. Our idea is to be able to travel calm and safe and that our guests feel the same way :)
come soon, you will be welcome!
