Pucon.........How to reach us .........The Antilco team

The Farm Campo Antilco is a mountain farm, 12km from Pucón, on the Liucura River, on the foothills of the "Cerros de Quelhue" Forest Reserve. On the farm we are working on 76 acres, some of which we own and also rent, pastures and forests and live together with our 21 horses. Besides the growing of vegetables and fruits for our own needs, we find time and space to raise pigs, chicken, sheep, geese and ducks under natural conditions.

Starting on our farm we explore all year round the valleys around Pucón and the National Parks Villarrica and Huerquehue on our horse trails, or go kayaking on the crystal clear rivers nearby. We invite you to spend some days with us, either in a cabin or in our small guesthouse, discovering the beautiful surroundings on your own.
