Our story

We are Carole, French, and Alfredo, Chilean. Together with our daughter Helena, we live year-round in this rugged corner of Chiloé, surrounded by forests, rivers, and silence. We came to Chepu seeking a simpler life, closer to nature, and here we found our home… and also a purpose: to share this place with those who value calm, natural beauty, and the essentials.

This is how Chimango Cara Cara was born, a lodge created with love, where we welcome travelers looking for more than just accommodation: an authentic, warm, and genuine experience, in harmony with the spirit of Chiloé.
