This month, as was agreed with Alerce 3000, two more guides, Kevin Ojeda and Dalai Vivar, joined the permanent Placeta work staff. They will be supporting the work of Placeta-Vodudahue during October, November and December 2023. Thanks to their incorporation, the DP and Tejuelero trails began intensive maintenance work in order to achieve optimal conditions for the 2023-24 summer season.
Tourists are already arriving in Placeta, a little earlier than in the 2022-23 season.
Cleaning services
Vertical guides do not stop – especially now that the summer is approaching. Multiple activities were carried out during October, including: – Inspection visit to the Douglas Point trail, forest sector, to assess damage after the recent storms. – Transfer of oil from generators to containers, and of fuel to the tanks in the fuel room. – Cutting of trees that fell on the Douglas Point trail, which were transformed into material for railings and steps that may be required in the future. – Cleaning the central pool, church, gym, kitchen, fuel tanks and the Abascal boat. – Transfer of containers to merchandise and firewood storage areas.
