Sexual Harassment and Abuse

We do not tolerate:

  • Unwanted physical contact or advances
  • Sexually suggestive comments or gestures
  • Intimidation, coercion, or threats of a sexual nature
  • Any behavior that creates a hostile, humiliating, or offensive environment

Tour Operators and agencies are responsible for ensuring that their passengers and staff behave respectfully and are aware of this policy. Any incident involving guests brought by a Tour Operator will be subject to investigation and may result in immediate removal from the Lodge without refund.

Protection of Children and Vulnerable Individuals

Lodge Caleta Gonzalo strongly opposes the exploitation of human beings in any form, particularly sexual exploitation of children.

  • We do not employ minors and comply fully with Chilean labor law.
  • We require adult guardians traveling with minors to provide documentation proving their relationship (e.g., birth certificate, parental authorization, or equivalent).
  • We expect all Tour Operators, travel agencies, and suppliers to actively prevent, identify, and report any suspected human trafficking or child exploitation.

Any report or suspicion of abuse will be taken seriously and escalated to the appropriate authorities in accordance with Chilean law.

Internal Action and Reporting

All guests, staff, and partners are encouraged to report any inappropriate behavior to Lodge management. Complaints will be treated confidentially and addressed swiftly through our internal protocols.

We thank our Tour Operator partners for helping us uphold these values and for promoting a culture of respect and safety within the protected lands of Pumalín Douglas Tompkins National Park.

Lodge Caleta Gonzalo is located in a remote, wild, and dynamic natural setting. Being within Pumalín National Park implies:

  • Hiking over uneven terrain

  • Pedestrian-only access to some units

By booking with us, both tour operators and their passengers accept these inherent risks of nature and release Lodge Caleta Gonzalo from all liability for accidents, losses, or damages that may occur during their stay, except in cases of gross negligence.

Passenger Liability Waiver
By making a reservation at Lodge Caleta Gonzalo, I hereby declare that I understand and acknowledge the characteristics of Pumalín Douglas Tompkins National Park — a park located in a remote area, with the unique features of a natural geographic environment, subject to unstable and sometimes adverse weather, including periods of low temperatures and strong winds.

Exploring this park requires the use of appropriate technical equipment. I therefore understand and voluntarily assume all risks inherent to my stay, as well as to any activities I choose to undertake.

I also declare that I have read, understood, and accepted the rules published on the website under the section “Terms and Conditions”, which have been presented to me at this time.

Accordingly, I release Lodge Caleta Gonzalo SpA, its agents, directors or representatives, managers or employees, as well as any related natural or legal persons, from all liability for any physical, material, or moral damages that may arise due to reckless, negligent, or careless behavior, or from failure to comply with signage or instructions. I therefore waive any and all legal actions or claims of any kind against the aforementioned persons for any such damages.

This declaration is also made on behalf of any minors accompanying me, my legal assigns and representatives, and any other person under my responsibility during my visit to Pumalín Douglas Tompkins National Park.
