How to get there:
Upon arrival at the airport in
Santiago, Chile, take a connecting
flight to the city of Punta Arenas which lasts around four hours. At the
airport in Punta Arenas, our staff will be waiting for you and will drive you
in our comfortable minibus to Hotel Salto Chico where you can relax or go on an
exciting Patagonia adventure tour.
The minibus journey is just under four
and a half hours: The journey from Punta Arenas to Llanuras de Diana, along 200
kilometers (124 miles) of paved road takes two and a quarter hours. From there,
the 190 kilometers (118 miles) to Torres del Paine National Park takes two
hours and 20 minutes.
Rooms:
Our lodge has 50 comfortable rooms,
all with captivating views, silence and privacy. The sophisticated design
incorporates native lenga wood (nothofagus pumilio) and cypress brought from
the Guaitecas Archipelago, while the floor is made of almond wood. Each room
has a small living area, hydro massage bath and beds designed for deep,
pleasurable sleep after a day of exploration. Finally, we provide you with a
unique treat: the rooms are television-free.
Food:
Luxury of the essential is the
concept behind the food we prepare. We seek to enhance the original flavors of
selected ingredients, avoiding excess and alteration. Our cuisine offers authentic flavors based on
the best-quality ingredients, many of which are produced locally. The food is
healthy and well-balanced, ideal for people going trekking, horseback riding or
