We are a company that offers personalized facilities, where the only guests are your family and a small group of fishermen.  This ensures excellent quality service.

Because we are located next to the Amarillo hot springs, only 30 kilometers from Chaitén, we are in a position to provide truly replenishing thermal baths at the end of each day  Fly-fishing at the Lago Yelcho rivers and lakes in the region, catarafts, trekking, horseback riding, and photo safaris are just some of the activities we provide for guests who are interested in adventure and who are eager to discover the natural wonders of this Austral hideaway.  We provide local dishes and organic homegrown vegetables.

We live right in the middle of one of the most pristine regions of our country, the green Patagonia, surrounded by the Pumalin Sanctuary, which has beautiful paths and must-see places.  Not far from our facilities there are two glaciers of immense beauty that are easily accessible.  We have lakes and rivers that are world-famous for their excellent fly-fishing and our horseback trails take us up the Michinmahuida river and glacier.


Luckily, our facilities were not damaged by the Chaitén volcano eruption.  We offer fishing tours to the Yelcho Lake and surrounding areas. Our accommodations include a carpeted suite (6 x 7 meters) with a King-sized bed and two twin-sized beds, a private bathroom, a thermal spring hot tub .

Accommodations

In this initial phase, we count with a carpeted suite (42 square meters) that has a private bathroom, and accommodates a party of 2 fishermen or a group of four friends.

Our services are 100% personalized.  We have thermal baths .  We also count with a catarraft for fly-fishing and we have considerable expertise and knowledge with respect to the rivers and lakes in the area.
