The Lodge at Valle Chacabuco

An inviting and sustainable lodge set within the iconic Patagonia Park, The Lodge at Valle Chacabuco is the only non-camping accommodation in this private nature reserve. Built from local stone quarried in the Chacabuco Valley and interspersed with recycled woodwork, the lodge blends in with the lush grounds that provided the habitat for an array of wildlife. A nearby handicraft store sells expertly crafter artisan goods that include wool blankets, carved wooden bowls and local honey.

Its ten elegant rooms are equipped with antique wooden furniture and cosy underfloor heating, and each is individually decorated with photographs of the species and people who make their home in the wilds of Patagonia. In a separate building with views to Mount Tamanguito, the beamed ceiling bar is an ideal spot for gathering to share stories about the days’ adventures while the restaurant sources ingredients from on-site greenhouses and often hosts Patagonian asados (barbeques).
