PUYUHUAPI LODGE & SPA

Set amidst exuberant vegetation and accessible only by sea, Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa is a unique combination of sophistication and simplicity. Travellers that venture to this uninhabited corner of the Chilean Patagonia, where birds porpoises and sea lions roam, are warmly welcomed by the lodge and its staff. The main building includes the reception desk as well as the communal area with three different warm and inviting areas, the charming fireplace, a pool table, games room, a well-stocked bar and the restaurant offering delicious cuisine. The food is wholesome and makes use of the abundant fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, and spices grown in Puyuhuapi’s own garden. The specialities of the house are local fish and seafood. The lodge invites guests to explore and experience the stunning wilderness of Chilean Patagonia, a place of fjords, native forests, rivers, waterfalls, mountains and glaciers.

Hotel de Larache: stunning nature


Situated close to the village of San Pedro de Atacama in the environs of Ayllù de Larache, this quaint Chilean hotel is in fact built in the middle of an enormous desert, in an area that archaeologists now believe to be the very cradle of pre-Columbian and Andean culture. The hotel is in fact made up of twenty historic farmsteads, the architecture of which remains virtually unchanged to this day. Built using local materials and conceived in a cosy traditional style, the hotel is in perfect keeping with the natural environment around it. All rooms give out onto a patio and are equipped with a jacuzzi, a sitting area and gracious custom built wooden furnishings. The views from the rooms are splendid as is the cuisine, the latter being prepared using home grown products. At the Hotel de Larache, outdoor pursuits are a must. The Atacama desert is not only breathtaking, but is dotted with fascinating villages, old graveyards, crumbling churches and mysterious archaeological remains.

Situated in the heart of Patagonia, deep within the Paine National Park, the Hotel Salto Chico is the perfect location for those wishing to explore the wilder and more remote regions of Southern Chile.

The interior design has been carefully conceived in order to reflect the fascinating surrounding environment and makes extensive use of local wood, slate and copper. All the rooms are spacious and luxurious and boast stunning views over the hills and forests round about. After a hard day’s exploring, guests are able to relax and enjoy a delicious meal in the hotel’s refined in-house restaurant. At the Hotel Salto Chico all meals are prepared using only the very best local products. For those wishing to improve their fitness or just relax, the Casa de Banos del Ona has an indoor heated pool, exercise machines, sauna, massage facilities and a number of open air jacuzzis.
