Tours and Activities:

Borde Río Ecological Park

Both adults and children have the chance to enjoy activities within a preserved and safe environment where everything necessary to spend a day outdoors is guaranteed.

An undertaking that gives priority to the surrounding scenery and healthy life has emerged on the banks of one of the most highly appreciated rivers in the area lying close to te City of Valdivia, namely: the Santo Domingo. Borde Río Ecological Park is a project that safeguards the environment and at the same time offers the chance for everyone to find the best way to be entertained.

We left the city behind and after just fifteen minutes we were accessing the park willing to let ourselves be surprised by its inner trails. We were welcomed by a guide and accepted his invitation to go around the different circuits before settling down.

The surroundings were impressive and the conversation very interesting as it let us learn more about the various sectors. The reserve comprises six hectares with countless attractions for kids and grown-ups. These include swimming-pools, kayaks and boats, fishing and games such as hopscotch, table tennis and an elastic bed.

We made ourselves comfortable in the picnic area right in front of one of the grills to start making an asado while the children ran around us freely. We were provided a table, chairs and a sunshade.

In the afternoon, we walked along the trails inside the lush native forest. We got to some viewpoints that gave us an idea of the size of the venue. Then we went to the coffee place and tasted some bread, jam and other natural products that made us remember our childhood, when those delicacies were made at home.


Learning to Understand

The people in charge of the park are implementing environmental tours for travelers and schools. As the summer ends and outdoor life becomes harder, groups can request equipped rooms for their work, celebrations or just leisure. The barbecue area features a delightful panoramic view of the river and terraces that invite everyone to relax and meditate.

At Borde Río Park, everything has been designed to turn ecology into a beneficial habit. It was a pleasure for us to pay this visit and to known that we will be able to visit this pleasant space once more on our next visit to Valdivia.
