About Us

A note from Marcelo Amelunxen

Greetings from sunny Antofagasta!

First of all, let me thank you for your interest in Chile Green Tours, Casa el Mosaico, and Antofagasta. Without you, there wouldn't be a reason for all this!

This thing we are now calling "El Mosaico" is quickly transforming itself into an information center, a center of activities, a point of interest, a meeting point, a stop-over spot, and a rustic-artistic collage made up of manycolorful pieces! The guest house is currently equipped just like home, and we would hope that our guests really feel at home while staying here.

We have lots of local info, and can help you to organize some fun here in Antofagasta! The Museo de Antofagasta just opened a couple of months ago, and is really worth a visit. Around the city there are boats available for hire, as well as local activities specialists making trips: dive instructors and paraglide instructors. Local artist Loreto Bolados does inhouse are clases including the art of Mosaic and Painting. We are flexible to arrange a wide variety of land and sea activities as well as all the necessary tourism services to bring it all together. Let us know what you're looking for and we'll will do our best to put together a custom package for you at a good value. We hope to provide travelers with great accommodations, access to great places and activities, good information, and good times!

A note on the weather of Antofagasta: Planning excursions can be made tricky in a lot of places because of unpredictable weather. Despite global warming, weather is quite predictable here! In this region we are blessed with a lot of sunshine. You can plan a picnic months ahead, or plan a camping trip for next year (we do!). It never rains, but in the winter it can get cloudy from time to time as well as a little cold in the evenings. In the summer it's pretty hot but luckily we are close to the beach. In the summer time the water temperature is perfect for a swim! For me, it doesn't get much better then this in terms of weather. So, if you like sunshine when you're on holidays, you will surely find some here!

Our commitments

We are committed to providing unbeatable service to our customers by keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, well nourished, hydrated, amused, intellectually stimulated, physically entertained, emotionally uplifted, and on the edge of their seat for the whole entire ride (in a good way of course). We hope the service is so good and the price just right that everyone will be talking about Chile Green Tours and Casa el Mosaico as a very special part of their Chile Experience.

We are committed to having not only a neutral and passive affect on Mother Nature, but a positive one (whenever possible). There are a few ways we aim to do this. We promote low impact activities. Our tours are designed to do all the "Eco" stuff, like encouraging learning, cultural understanding, and appreciation of the natural world. We Recycle, Re-use, and Reduce, but also Respect, Rethink, and Restore.

Happy Travels!

Marcelo A.
