Geographic setting and landscape

The property sits within a private reserve in the heart of Patagonia's most iconic geography. Guests have direct views of Torres del Paine National Park and Sarmiento Lake.

The region's terrain is described in the property's itineraries as having been underwater 23 million years ago, reflecting the area's dramatic geological history.

Wildlife and natural features

The private reserve supports a population of free-roaming pumas, condors, and guanacos, among other native species. Guests may observe these animals during guided expeditions, particularly pumas tracked along the shores of Lake Sarmiento at dawn.
