Client comments and reviews

The drive from Puerto Varas to Tierra Chiloe was long. However, the lodge is of a highest standard, very beautiful building, the service, rooms and food of highest possible standard. It was lovely to be there but all the good walks are far away and involve a 2 hour car drive each way! We felt the island has no particular natural beauty but the coast is lovely and we had a 2 full day walks. 3 nights was good. - EW (October 2023)
