The eco-conscious ¡école! is a travel experience in itself. It's a meeting point for conscientious travelers and a tranquil and artsy hangout that has long been Pucón's most interesting place to stay. Rooms are small, clean and comfortable, but walls are thin and voices carry within the leafy grounds, so it's not a wild party hostel.
Four new rooms outfitted with soothing light-pastel hardwoods and modern bathrooms with cotton shower curtains are quietly set in the back; there's yoga three times per day; a massage room; and an excellent vegetarian restaurant is one of Chile's best (mains CH$4800 to CH$5400). These guys were preaching sustainability, conservation and eco-everything nearly two decades before anyone else in Chile.
