Social Responsibility

Puerto Nativo works with local children to teach them about the importance of the native forest and show them how to plant native trees so they can reforest their own land. The Lodge also sells homemade toiletries and preserves, with a percentage of the profit going into a school's reforestation project. A proportion of profits from Puerto Nativo's programmes is used to finance the local school project.

When to go?

The best time to visit depends on your interests. September and October are good for sunny weather, spring flowers and fly-fishing. The summer months of November to March are best for exploring the coast and watching whales.
