Now it is the turn of our guests to say something about Dos Rios and us. Some of them stay a few days on a big South America trip, many of our Chilean guests come back every year and all of them enrich our life here at the...
Dear Ralf and Dagmar,
you have a wonderful oasis which we have been very lucky to share with you for a few days.
We loved your river, your beach your horses and the view from our bedroom. We enjoyed meeting
your other guests and practicing (just a little bit) my German. We certainly hope to return to the area
sometime soon. With love and best of luck to you

This have been four relaxing and adventurous days in a good combination. We climbed the vulcano,
went fishing on the river, and enjoyed the thermal bath. And we learned to know the EierSchalenSoll
BrauchStelleVeruhrsacher (o.k. the Egg Slayer). Thank you for good food, nice accommodation,
and great hospitality, and introducing us to the Pisco Sour and the Mate tea.

Dearest Ralf & Dagmar
Thank you very much for having us stay in one of your wonderful cabins, here at "Dos Rios".
We very much enjoyed having our own private facilities for a change. The property is great with
a wide range of animals, we loved Katy. Thank you also for helping us plan our trip to the termas.
We hope to come in the near future.

Dear Ralf and Dagmar!
A small letter to say a BIG thank you! I will never have the right words to say thank you for
everything you have done for me!! (from learning me SO much about horses to all the nice food!)
You have a loving, giving household that made me feel welcome from the first day!!! You have
made me fall in love with Chile and Dos Rios, so I will have to come back!! Thank you VERY
much from my heart!!! I will NEVER forget this month, and always think back of it with a big
smile and missing heart!!
THANKS!!

Finally the clouds lifted and we could see the volcano. We would have missed it had Ralf not
paid us one last visit the last day of our stay. Thanks for so many times pointing out all at
Dos Rios + the surrounding area. Tim says this was a treasure trove for the kids. It was truly a
find for the entire family from riding to enchanted forests and private islands to llamas,
Mapuche museums & wildlife refuges.

A "chance" meeting in downtown Villarrica, a few moments later and it was not meant to be!
We have toyed with the idea of excursions, volcano trips, trekking and all the rest - but really
when you have what is on offer here at Dos Rios you need not more to far, just a few steps...
particularly when we you're traveling for a year, Dos Rios has offered us the perfect chance to kick
back, relax, gather our thoughts and plan for the next episode -
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Wonderful, homely cabañas, friendly welcoming owners - it´s been a lovely few days, even in the
rain!! xx Meg England
Dagmar - Thank you for helping out two wet backpackers in Villarrica! - what a amazing place to
end up (a real treat for us)!
We have had a really enjoyable & relaxing time here. I have enjoyed tending to the ofen fire in
our cabin! I hate to admit defeat but I think the trouts have beaten me! I have very much enjoyed
the fishing all the same.
Thank you both for your hospitality, Simon England
Thank you for a lovely stay.
The views of Volcano Villarrica together with the fields, beach & river made for a spectacular
scene for our visit.We are also very grateful for the tour to the volcano and transportation you
arranged for a couple of occasions. We will remember our stay here as probably the highlight of
our travels. We will also miss our little wine evenings and your good company.

Thank you so much for a really enjoyable stay. You were very helpful in giving advice about
places to go and things to do. We enjoyed the tour of the park with Ralf. The atmosphere and
the food was excellent. We have been looked after so well here we will remember our stay and we
will not hesitate to recommend your place.
Thank you again = Merci beaucoup - Bonne chance

There is a flat way of seeing: I live with it most days. Yet there is a fresh, spiritual way of
seeing, and when it comes to me, the day is rare. With this new vision, I can see the innocence
woven through all men and things, as if a shaft of light has fallen upon treasured objects in a
forgotten closet. The day I was greeted by the Gamper family and Parque Natural Dos Rios was
one of those incredibly rare days. And I will be better for it always.

Ralf y Dagmar,
Thank you for the incredible hospitality here in Dos Rios. I had the best three day trip of
my life. The adventure of the Canopy and climbing the volcano Villarrica and snow boarding down.
Then the relaxing day of the Termas. I couldn't have asked for anything more. All that adventure
and the best part was the great food and warm wonderful hospitality,
Thank you, Andrew Giangrandi U.S.A. NY - Miami

Dear Dagmar,
On behalf of L.E.A.D. Class VIII I want to thank you very
much for taking time out of your busy day to spend with us.
We toured many places while we were in Chile and your ranch
was by far the best tour. It was evident that you are
passionate about the land and preserving it for future
generations.
Thanks again,

We loved our stay here. We found the view from our window the most beautiful in Chile.
The "cabanas" are very comfortable and charming and you know you are all very special.
We will miss you.
