“Comfortable and fun”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

It's hard to believe that these are shipping containers - they are well designed and very comfortable. There's a full range of equipment for cooking and (just) enough space to eat in - which makes a welcome change after endless nights in so-so restaurants. We were there in early summer, and there's not much to do in the area. The ski resort was closed, and you had to pay quite a steep fee to enter the 'recreation area'. But with the owner's help we found a great walk behind the Ecoboxes, with views of the mountains and glaciers. The hot pools were also undergoing repair, and seemed a bit sanitised compared to the grat natural springs we visited elsewhere in Chile.

“Fabulous place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

We arrived for our 4 night stay at Ecobox Andino after a 36 hour journey from Scotland in early September 2011, and we couldn't have chosen better. The cabins were very warm and spacious. We did a days skiing at the resort, and 2 days touring on the volcanoes, and each night when we got back knackered, the wood burner was on and the cabins were cosy. The cabin was well equiped.

Rosa was really friendly, helpful and spoke English. I definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area.

“Brilliant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

Ecobox Andino is brilliantly situated in the Las Trancas valley and probably the best place to stay if you aren't going to opt to stay up at the resort (which can be pricey). We've stayed at various places in the Las Trancas valley and all (except) Ecobox Andino have had their pitfalls eg. not warm enough, really bad service etc. Ecobox Andino was a great place to stay at, the rooms were perfect for a coupe and two friends, also for a couple with two children.

“This is the best place in the area, simply wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2011

The place was great, it is just what you are looking for when you want to visit the area. The owner is a great person and she is willing to go all the way out for you. The breakfast was very good and representative of Chile. What I liked the most was the clean white walls, the water pressure was great for a small cabin. The decoration and facilities are very well thought and in the kitchen the equipment has everything you may need. The best place I've been to in a while.

“Highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2010

We really enjoyed our stay in Ecobox. Great service, great accommodation!! The hostess is just lovely and she also speaks English, which is very nice. Ecobox is highly recommended, and well worth the price you pay.
