About Entre Hielos Lodge

A cute family-run cottage within the great, breathtaking wilds of Patagonia.

In a quaint town made up entirely of wooden walkways (and no roads!), Entre Hielos is a guest house with plenty of heart. Operated by owners, Maria and Noel, you'll be welcomed like family to their wood cabin in the lush wilderness along Chile's Carretera Austral. Beyond the fire-warmed rooms at Entre Hielos, the landscape is intrepid and striking with mountainous peaks and criss-crossing rivers glaciers. Tap into the unique spirit on treks, kayaking excursions and horseback rides in the footsteps of gauchos and back at the hotel, curl up with a good book and swap stories from the day.

Property details

The property

Built entirely from honey-coloured Guaitecas Cypress, the hotel lounges are often aglow with firelight and offer the perfect setting for diving into the collection of books or admiring the many photographs on the walls. Cooked by a chef during the summer and Maria throughout the rest of the year, traditional Patagonian dishes are served in the intimate dining room. Every ingredient is locally sourced including the breakfast preserves, which are made on-site. For something different, try the spit-roasted barbecue, washed down with a craft beer.

The rooms

There are just six rooms at Entre Hielos, furnished simply but snugly with double or twin bed complete with goose feather duvets and wool blankets, hand-woven wall hangings, and baskets to hold your clothes. Huge, unbarred windows reveal an incredible view over the jungles of Caleta Tortel. Each room has an en-suite bathroom with wood and glass showers, and neat amenities. The rooms are all kept comfortable with central heating too. The hotel has scheduled hours without electricity and TVs aren't a feature.

Activities

Located between the North and South Ice Fields, Caleta Tortel is a fairytale town with adventure on the doorstep. You'll have the chance to explore multiple glaciers, from treks below hanging ice monoliths to boat rides stopping at the Jorge Mont Glacier where you can enjoy a whisky with 'ice'. There are plenty of rainforest hiking trails too, snaking between rushing waterfalls and verdant birdlife, as well as kayaking expeditions to the marble caves. If you'd prefer something more sedate, stroll through the village and just take in the atmosphere.

Why we love it

Feeling (and being!) surrounded by Patagonia's stunning forests, rivers and glaciers. It's like nowhere else.

Insiders Tip

The restaurant is frequented by locals so be sure to book your place for the three-course dinner menu.

Something to think about

The parking or drop-off point is on the last street before the maze of walkways begin, so it's best to travel light on this leg of the journey (just a small-ish bag with the essentials is ideal).
