Our collaboration with Estancia Rilán

Hotel & Cava Estancia Rilán by Elohi Collection has been a very important collaborator for our foundation since 2021. Thanks to their donations and hospitality we have been able to carry out several projects in the province of Chiloé.

It all started during the Trees&Seas environmental festival in 2021, when the Plastic Oceans team stayed at the hotel, and we learned more about the vision of its owners Mónica and Rodrigo. To our surprise we got a phone call a few months later in which Monica and Rodrigo expressed their desire to continue supporting our foundation even after the festival through a strategic alliance and joint work. This is how to date, we have been able to give talks at the hotel, we work with the Rilán community and local schools, and in 2024 we jointly organized a community talk at the Municipality of Castro about the new single-use plastics law.

Thanks to the hotel and its guests, we have been able to return to the archipelago several times to continue our work on the ground and with the communities. During 2025 we hope to be able to continue developing our work in Chiloé and this beautiful relationship that we have with the hotel and its owners, both in the environmental, social and personal spheres.

“…What was a one off initiative to support the first environmental festival in Chiloé, has transformed into a relationship of friendship, trust, learning and collaboration…”

Your support

Thanks to your stay at the Hotel Cava you directly support two of our projects:

Rethink Refill, is an environmental education program focused on explaining everything about the circular economy, plastic pollution and ocean literacy and ends with a donation of reusable bottles to encourage the students to take concrete actions.
Field work with the municipalities of the island in support of the implementation of the single-use plastics law. It´s a law that seeks to generate a reduction of more than 23,000 tons of single-use plastic annually in Chile.

“…Things have to be done with a sense of meaning, beyond ones personal space…, therefore we always conceived that to provide a differentiating and excellent experience, we had to start with simple, clear and connected things, take charge of our impact, to learn, look, care and co-build this wonderful destination…”
