Accommodation
Estancia Laguna Sofia
This ranch with over 5.000 hectares belongs to Jose Antonio & Tamara, descendants of legendary Croatian and Scottish settlers who came here to start a new life in this southern land. They have started a new project, full of adventure and great landscapes, a perfect mix for horse lovers.
Their country house, with room for up to 8 guests, is located near a waterfall and on the shore of Lake Sofia. It is a comfortable place with a huge fireplace perfect to enjoy a Pisco Sour after a day of riding.
Gaucho's hut (Puesto)
A “puesto” is a hut that the Gauchos use during the summer time, when they have to take care of the cattle herds away from the main Estancia house.
These simple huts are warm shelters to escape the occasional inclement weather in Patagonia. It’s a great place for cooking and enjoying a mate (local tea) around a fire.
Usually located in a strategic location, close to a water source and protected from the strong winds. We will be able to sleep in one of these characteristic Patagonian huts, or camp beside it.
Estancia/Posada Tres Pasos
Hotel Posada Tres Pasos, since 1904, originated thanks to the efforts made by pionners of Ultima Esperanza Province. Little by little, the Hotel transformed in a compulsory pass for the long carts and carriage convoys on their way from Puerto Natales to Torres del Paine and Argentina.
This Historical place, surrounded by impressive mountains such as Castillo, Campana and Jorge Montt chain, transformed in a meeting and supplying centre, including the last surviving groups from the Aonikenk tribe (Tehuelches) that live in the area at that time.
Located in the confluence of three valleys and near to Figueroa Lagoon, this beautiful place served as inspiration for the biggest writter our country had has, Nobel Prize for literature, Gabriela Mistral.
Estancia Tercera Barranca
A family run 6,500 hectare working estancia just outside the Torres del Paine National Park. It has a remote setting and excellent views of the Towers to the west and a warm, friendly, cozy atmosphere.
is in the rustic but comfortable guest house with a small garden adjacent to the main house. There is a lovely fireplace in the gallery/living area which has comfy seating and huge windows allowing fantastic views. Good, home cooked food, homemade bread and jams, tasty Chilean specialities and excellent BBQs and Pisco sours!
Estancia Mirador Del Payne
Located on the park border and part of the working estancia Lazo, a huge cattle ranch dating from the last century, if offers magnificent views of Paine Massive and Laguna Verde.
The rooms are comfortable and simple; the main Estancia's house has been remodeled as a dining room-bar, keeping it cozy and country-style.
Hotel Rio Serrano
Strategically located in the Serrano River area and at the Torres del Paine park border, it affords guests a panoramic view of the Paine Mountain Range. The hotel has 95 rooms (66 superior and 26 standard rooms) all with private bathroom, central heating and telephone; a comfortable hotel, refined yet cozy.
It also has a large lounge with comfortable armchairs, television and heating, where you will be able to enjoy a relaxing end to the day or simply admire the scenery.
Camping Chile Nativo
Our clients sleep in 4-season tents, North Face VE 25 (3 person capacity) or similar, based on twin-share occupancy. We use a Mountain Hardwear domo-dining tent when the group is over 6 passengers and only in certain areas.
Hostería Balmaceda
The perfect place for resting, adventure and observation. There are 16 rooms with private bath and a dining room with grill. This is all surrounded by a beautiful landscape and a magnificent view of the Serrano glacier and the Balmaceda Mountain.
Weskar Patagonian Lodge
This cozy family run lodge is ideally located on the Sound of Last hope, with magnificent views of several mountain ranges and just a 15-minute walk from the main square. Weskar is a warm and friendly hotel and restaurant with decorations based on ethnic concepts and ecological guidelines.
