Accommodation

Lastarria Boutique Hotel

Built in 1927 and situated in the heart of one of Santiago’s most charming neighborhoods, this city mansion has been renovated and converted into a boutique hotel with excellent personal service.  Museums, galleries, trendy shops, antique stores,  and innovative restaurants sit outside your doorstep.

 

Weskar Patagonian Lodge

The Weskar Patagonian Lodge sits on top of a hill, just 10 minutes away from the center of Puerto Natales in Chilean Patagonia. Glaciers, mountain ranges, sea channels, and the Última Esperanza Sound are all visible from the hotel windows.  Its 28 rooms are large, comfortable and tastefully decorated, and its on-site restaurant serves high quality Patagonian dishes.  A refined but unpretentious lodge, not as modern and minimalist as some of the other boutique hotel options in this area, and that is part of its local charm.

 

Tierra Patagonia

An exceptional option in the area of Torres del Paine National Park, Tierra Patagonia Hotel sits on a bluff where the pampa meets Lake Sarmiento, with views across the lake to the peaks of the Paine Massif from all rooms.  The beautifully well-designed building seems to emerge from the hillside and blends harmoniously with the landscape.  Patagonian details decorate its three suites, 34 superior rooms and three standard rooms. The hotel has a restaurant and bar, library lounge, spa with heated pool and hot tub, and one of the loveliest views in Torres del Paine.

Vaya Adventures is not responsible for any expenses incurred by trip members in preparing for a canceled trip (e.g., nonrefundable advance purchase air tickets, visa fees, inoculations, equipment, etc.) or for any additional arrangements.  If for any reason Vaya Adventures cancels your trip, an alternative trip of a similar standard will be offered to you.  If this is not acceptable to you, then all moneys paid by you to Vaya Adventures will be refunded.  Beyond the trip costs paid to us, Vaya Adventures is not responsible for any loss or damage that arises out of any cancellation for any reason whatsoever

It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
