The SOS Children's Village Tres Ríos is situated on the outskirts of the little town of Dulce Nombre de Tres Ríos. It has been set up on an area of about 14 000 sq.m. Due to its hillside position, the buildings have been set up on terraces. Orange trees have been planted on the entire property and each family house has a small vegetable garden.
In addition to the standard facilities of an SOS Children's Village (the administration building with a community hall, the Village Director's house, the aunts' house), the SOS Children's Village Tres Ríos also consists of an SOS Kindergarten, a doctor's surgery, a dental clinic and a residence for retired SOS mothers.
There is also an SOS Youth Facility which houses a joiner's workshop (the young people can obtain vocational training there) and a room for exhibitions.
