Our Story

Rooted in Chile,
Growing Sustainably

A journey of transforming forgotten spaces into sanctuaries of sustainable luxury, where every stay contributes to conservation and community.

Our Mission

Raíces was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create a new model of luxury tourism that regenerates rather than depletes, that connects rather than isolates, and that celebrates Chile's incredible natural and cultural diversity.

We believe that true luxury lies not in excess, but in authenticity—in the warmth of Pehuenche hospitality, the taste of wine from centuries-old vines, the silence of an Andean sunrise, and the knowledge that your journey supports the preservation of these treasures for generations to come.

“Every property tells a story of transformation—from forgotten heritage to vibrant sanctuary, proving that sustainable tourism can be both luxurious and regenerative.”
— Isabella Valdés, Founder
