At the end of 2019, Tierra Chiloé launched a beach clean-up project that seeks to continue its efforts to protect the environment and also support the local communities where the hotel operates.
On the small island of Lemuy, in a town called Detif, in the Chiloé archipelago, lives Orieta Caucaman. She is dedicated to collecting the pieces of fishing nets that reach the shores of the beach every day, contaminating it and risking its wildlife.
Every day, she picks up different kinds of fishnet fibers. Once the fibers are washed and selected, Orieta begins to weave. She weaves small, medium and large baskets with different color combinations.
