Think guided nature walks on their own grounds, birdwatching excursions with knowledgeable locals, and evenings spent stargazing under incredibly clear skies. They also have a wonderful little library filled with local history and nature guides.

During our visits, we've spotted various native birds, including the striking Chilean Flicker, and often see small mammals like foxes and armadillos near dusk. The best time for wildlife viewing is spring (September to November) when the landscape is vibrant and animals are more active. While it's not a big game destination, the subtle beauty of the local fauna is captivating.
