02 — LAND · IN THE FOREST & MOUNTAINS

Step by step. Summit by summit.

The forest begins where the garden ends — and does not stop. Beyond the hotel, the Valdivian temperate rainforest unfolds without ceremony: coihue, arrayán, cypress, and paths that feel both intimate and endless. Above it all, the Andes quietly define the horizon.

Every land experience is guided by those who know these trails in every season — where to slow down, where to look up, and where to be completely still. Whether on foot or on horseback, the terrain and the pace are shaped around you, allowing Patagonia to reveal itself gradually.

Guided Trekking

From forest paths to higher viewpoints, guided trekking reveals the landscape step by step. Trails move between shade and open ground, with views across Nahuel Huapi that no road can reach.

Snowshoeing

Across snow-covered forest snowshoeing offers a slower way to explore the landscape in winter. Gentle in pace, quiet in atmosphere, and entirely different from the rest of the year.

PRACTICAL NOTES

Everything you need to know

Booking

All land experiences are arranged through our team. We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance — 48 hours for horseback riding and full-day excursions. Same-day requests are accommodated when possible.

What to bring

Mountain weather changes fast in Patagonia, so a light windproof layer is essential on any trail above the treeline. Sturdy footwear for trekking. Helmets and gloves for biking. Winter equipment rental is arranged by our team.

EQUIPMENT INCLUDED - ALL LEVELS WELCOME

Beyond Inclusive

Guests on the Beyond Inclusive programme have two guided excursions and a daily spa treatment included in their stay. The Winter edition includes daily ski at Cerro Bayo with transfers and passes. Speak to our team on arrival to select your combination.
