Educational Farm of Lonquén

The Granja Educativa de Lonquén is a popular destination located in the Isla de Maipo commune, approximately 45 kilometers south of Santiago. This educational farm features visitors, especially families and school groups, the chance to experience traditional Chilean rural life firsthand. Within its extensive grounds, children can interact directly with farm animals such as cows, sheep, horses, and llamas, and participate in daily chores like feeding or milking. The program includes various workshops where traditional techniques are taught, such as baking bread in a clay oven or creating handicrafts. In addition to the animal enclosures, the farm features organic vegetable gardens that highlight the importance of sustainable agriculture and respect for nature. The facility is not only for entertainment but also promotes awareness about food sources and environmental conservation. With its picnic areas and spacious green fields, the Granja provides a good setting for relaxation in a rural environment close to the capital city.
