By day, you can hike, bike and kayak through the verdant temperate rainforest, past cascading waterfalls and snowcapped peaks. By night, enjoy a delicious dinner of home-grown foods carefully paired with exquisite Chilean wines.

Why we like this hotel
- It’s the one true 5* all-inclusive option in & around Pucon.
- The tranquil setting allows immediate access to the 'great outdoors' with adventurous activities for all abilities and inclinations.
- The hotel itself is charming and built of native Lenga tree, a warm, sandy wood with woollen throws and private terraces.
- As a Relais & Chateaux, you can expect excellent cuisine with an original, tasty and varied menu (breakfast, lunch and dinner!) with modern twists on local Chilean food traditions.
- The water feature out front is a lovely spot to sit—as birds come & go—and you can enjoy a glass of wine, read a book or just take it all in...
We think it's worth noting
- It has a pretty remote feel, with gates to enter, and you'd have no idea that a town is nearby.
- You cannot see the Villarrica volcano from the hotel.
- There is no swimming pool.
Swoop says
Waking up to the river right outside my window was something special and I loved the comfort of the cosy wooden interiors. After a day of exploring, sinking into one of the outdoor hot tubs by the water felt like proper luxury. And the food? Almost everything came straight from their own greenhouse and cheese factory—fresh, local, and absolutely delicious.

Swoop says
With so much to see and do in the area, we'd highly recommend booking 3 or 4 nights in this little pocket of paradise. It's also worth making time to learn about the local indigenous Mapuche cultures of Pucon and the surrounding area.
