A small contribution comes from Terrace Lodge & Tours. Since December 2009 we have decided to give a little help.
How?
- Giving the tips received from our guests to The Andean Cat Alliance.
- 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.
Since Dec.2009 we collected CLP 29.200; in February 2010 CLP 21,900; in March CLP 12,000 (of which 10,000 from a Belgian guest, Mr Verstraeten). Low season in May and June brought only CLP 3.000. Better in July, CLP 12.000, of which CLP 10.000 from a generous Swiss guest: Cecilia Porchia. Thanks Cecilia! In August CLP 4,000. In August: CLP 4,000. In September: CLP 15,000 most of which donated by Sylvie and José, a couple from Quebec, Canada.

Creative Ways to Improve Your Outdoor Space
Outdoor spaces, such as backyards, patios, or outdoor sections, can be a soothing escape from everyday life. With the appropriate materials and concepts, you can easily turn your outdoor area into something beautiful and usable.
One way to better an outdoor space is by utilizing natural components like wood, wood, or trees. Installing stone pathways or a wooden deck can bring structure while still matching the environment. You can also incorporate different types of plants to offer vibrancy and texture, making your yard into a lush, green retreat.
Another idea is to create particular areas for specific activities. For instance, a cozy seating area with outdoor furniture and lamps can provide the ideal spot to relax with friends or family. Think about using long-lasting materials to keep your seating area looking attractive in all weather conditions. Installing a fire pit or a small water feature, like a fountain, can also elevate the feel.
If you wish for your outdoor space to look special, consider incorporating DIY projects. Making your own planters, garden beds, or even building a pergola can bring your space a personal touch. These projects can be done using simple elements like reclaimed wood or stone, making them both affordable and rewarding.
With a touch of creativity and the correct resources, your outdoor space can turn into an enjoyable extension of your home, perfect for taking a break or gathering with loved ones.
