Where to stay in Chile
Our team has handpicked this collection of properties to give you luxury options in styles to suit any journey.
Nestled within a sprawling 55-acre estate in the Chilean Lake District, Hacienda Vira Vira is set on an organic vegetable garden and is surrounded by natural lagoons and flowing rivers.
Its 21 homely and spacious rooms are individually decorated with hand-woven tapestries, local bohemian furnishings, textured Chilean rugs and Mapuche artefacts, while the ultra-exclusive villa suites also boast an outdoor jacuzzi that overlooks the river. Every morning, guests are invited to sit in discussion with the expert guides to decide on the days’ adventures, ensuring that a stay at Hacienda Vira Vira is tailor-made at every turn.
Aside from the exceptional views to the forested and snow-capped peaks that infuse the park and the super-luxe seasonal access to an on-site helicopter and pilot, it is the simplicity of fresh produce sourced from the on-site garden and state-of-the-art cheese workshop that often leave the best impression. The mouth-watering mealtimes are undoubtedly one of the main highlights of a stay at Hacienda Vira Vira.
Ride horseback through the Villarrica National Park, head out on foot to explore Huerquehue National Park, or discover the many volcanoes and glaciers that exist in this area. It is possible to climb the active Villarrica Volcano to see the boiling lava that exists at its summit, or to head out in the property’s own helicopter for a scenic flight over the volcanos, lakes and monkey puzzle reserves.
Embark on sailing or kayaking adventures atop one of the lakes or tackle a more adventurous afternoon of white water rafting over grade II to IV river rapids. Mountain biking proves to be a wonderful way to explore the area, and during winter months guests can try dog sledding, snowshoeing, snowboarding and even skiing. On-site, spend a day on the organic farm to learn about harvesting or visit the cheese workshop to make your own yoghurt, butter or cheese. There is also a traditional Mapuche ruca, a round wooden building that ideal for meditation and yoga.
Hacienda Vira Vira is located 11 miles north of Pucon, a small town with a variety of adventure activities on offer in the Chilean Lake district, and is surrounded by lakes, volcanoes and beautiful scenery.
