Average rating 3.0 / 5.0 (5 votes)

Cosy hotel and wooden cabins set below a snow-capped volcano on the shores of Lago Todos Los Santos, one of Chile's most beautiful lakes, with lots of outdoor activities

Situated between the towering outline of Osorno volcano and a blue-green slice of Lago Todos Los Santos (fed by glacial rivers and waterfalls), the setting alone is enough to draw people to this hotel. Deep in Chile’s oldest national park, the drive over volcanic overspill and alongside the tumbling turquoise waters of the Rio Petrohue leads to a clearing in virgin forest by the lakeshore, wherein stands the 13-room Hotel Petrohue and four cabins.

After a fire in 2002 the hotel was completely rebuilt in wood and stone, and now resembles a large Alpine chalet. Simple but comfortable interiors continue the theme, with a warm combination of pale wood, open fires and fine views of the lake, mountains and forest offering a taste of what lies beyond. And once inspired (it won’t take long) simply step outside amongst this serene natural setting and into the hotel’s Expediciones centre, from where, with everything from climbing to canyoning, the adventure really begins.
