What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Huilo Huilo Montaña Mágica is a luxury hotel shaped like a small mountain, covered in jungle foliage, with hobbit-hole windows peeking through...
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Elevated canopy walkways connect directly to the Valdivian rainforest, leading to glacial lakes, volcanic caves, and roaring waterfalls.
The rooms
Lined in native timber, the compact bedrooms embrace digital disconnection with rustic wood finishes and windows framing the rainforest.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor heated pool sits beneath rough log beams and skylights, looking straight out into the rainforest.
The spa
At the table
Patagonian dishes and regional wines are served beneath arched wood ceilings and rustic log beams.
How it began
Architect Rodrigo Verdugo shaped the lodge like a mossy volcano, engineering a continuous waterfall that spills down from its spire.
