ABOUT MARI MARI NATURAL RESERVE - in their own words:

Mari Mari Natural Reserve Experience brings a combination of luxury accommodation, fine dining, impeccable service, and life-changing activities to a relatively little-known coastal region of the northern Chilean Patagonia.

 

The experience is built on the principles and vestiges the long­ lost culture of Monte Verde. The discovery of a small child's footprint in 1975 in a marshy field near the city of ·Puerto Montt sent shockwaves  through the archaeological world:  it was evidence of human settlement  in the Americas that pre-dated the long-accepted Clovis paradigm by roughly 1,ooo years.

 

The Monte Verde culture lived at one with the flora and fauna as opposed to dominating and destroying it. It made little impact, with no temples or pyramids built, leaving as small a footprint as humanly possible. Thier  legacy permeates everything we do at Mari Mari. It sets a benchmark  of respect and responsibility. It inspires us to form part of our surroundings, living in harmony with the wildlife and vegetation found in this magical place.

Mari Mari is a Mapudungun term that not only welcomes visitors into the home but invites them to be part of the family and the community.
We extend that same invitation to you.

Mari Mari is located on the Pacific coast of Northern Patagonia near the village of Los Muermos. Popular destinations such as Puerto Varas and Chiloe Island are close by.  The nearest airport is Puerto Montt.
