Putre at the Olympic Games 2010

Putre and Parinacota “sponsors” of Vancouver Olympic Games.

“Terrace Lodge is very nice and comfortable, but small.  Where do I put the rest of the staff ?” Ingrid Bragemann, manager at Tantor Films, was in putre last November  in order to shoot a promo video for Bombardier, the sponsor of the Olympic Games 2010 in Canada.  The result is here.   Enjoy!

Save the Andean Cat.

A small contribution comes from Terrace Lodge. Since December 2009 we have decided to give a little help.  How?

• Giving the tips received from our guests to The Andean Cat Alliance. In Dec.2009-Jan 2010 we collected CLP 29.200;
  in February 2010 CLP 21,900
• Asking our guests to refill their bottles of purified water instead of buying bottled mineral water.  Doing this way, the profit from the sales goes to the association, we limit the production of plastic bottles (which can not be recycled locally) and the guests save a little money.
