BEAUTIFUL ECO-LODGE IN THE CHILEAN LAKE DISTRICT

On an expansive, forested estate surrounded by the rainforests of national parks, evergreen Araucaria monkey puzzle trees, some over 1,000 years old, and awe-inspiring glacial lakes reflecting snow-capped volcanoes nearby, this magnificent wooden lodge at the gateway to Patagonia features floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the spacious interiors with natural light. All accommodations are individually decorated with a selection of curated objects and traditional artifacts and richly textured rugs, wall hangings, and fabric.

Other highlights of the resort include:

• 6 comfortable suites, 12 split-level villas with a separate living room, and a 5-bedroom, exclusive-use Hacienda for up to 10 guests
• Farm-to-table dining with fresh produce and ingredients from the flourishing on-site organic vegetable garden, modern working farm, and boutique cheese factory
• Guided visits to a traditional ruka (house) to learn about the unique way of life, cuisine, and heritage of Chile’s Mapuche people
• Forest therapy, pampering treatments at the wellness center, and 2 outdoor hot tubs

In this adventure-seeker haven, a range of excursions hosted by expert and engaging guides offer a wide range of seasonal adventures, from snowmobiling, heliskiing, snowshoeing, and snowboarding to trekking scenic trails in Villarrica and Huerquehue National Parks, birdwatching, floating down the river on a drift boat, catch-and-release fishing, paddleboarding, horseback riding, and whitewater rafting. Each activity is specifically tailored to the guest’s interests and personal fitness levels.
