This lodge is known primarily for fishing but we booked it as a break in an otherwise active vacation, not knowing that we'd be just as active here as we were elsewhere on this trip. First, we're not into fishing and never even considered doing any fishing while we were there, but there is so much offered that can be arranged for you.

We did a zip line excursion which is very, very much worth the money. I don't like heights and didn't think I would enjoy it but it was a tremendous adventure. The guides are very careful to keep you safe at all times. We also did a hike around part of the base of the volcano, which was very interesting. Lots of great scenery. The guide from the hotel for our activities was Ricardo and I can't say enough good things about him.

The restaurant at the Lodge is excellent: the service, the food, and the wine.

Our accommodations were very comfortable, sort of a duplex arrangement with us occupying half of a bungalow. Our accommodation included a large bedroom, a good sized den/living room, a storage room, a sleeping loft, and a bathroom. One of the few complaints that I would have with the Lodge (and this is a minor one) is that the thermostat for our bungalow was kept locked and therefore can't be adjusted without asking the front desk to take care of it. Sort of an odd way to pinch pennies at a luxury resort.

The grounds of the Lodge are very nice with a great view of a snow covered volcano. Art is located throughout the grounds, some whimsical and others more serious.

We were there in March and the weather was perfect but the locals assured us that we were very lucky as it is normally raining that time of year. There were very few guests, I guess due to the time of year.

If you're going be sure to check their website for activities other than fishing as they have a great list of things to do. We wished we had more time there to do some of the other things.

Prior to staying here we had been at the Explora Atacama and after this we were at the Explora Patagonia. The big difference for us was that at the Explora Lodges our package included everything whereas here only the meals and a bottle of wine were included, but I think you can arrange for a completely inclusive package.
