The Hotel’s Window

In January 1835, while aboard the HMS Beagle, Charles Darwin witnessed the last eruption of the Osorno Volcano, one of Chile’s most iconic natural landmarks, often dubbed the “Mount Fuji of South America”. Fast-forwarding to the present day, a restricted number of guests are invited to call this volcano a neighbor while staying at Hotel AWA in Los Lagos Region, a gateway to the Chilean Patagonia. Since rooms face east, the floor-to-ceiling windows perfectly frame the lake and volcano, allowing for eye-popping vistas, thus making it tremendously hard to leave.

Hotel’s Location

Surrounded by some of Chile’s most spectacular National Parks, Hotel AWA is planted by Lake Llanquihue shore and is an ideal base to explore Patagonia. The closest town is Puerto Varas, a 30-minute drive from the property. The best way to reach the hotel is to fly into Puerto Montt, which is particularly convenient for those traveling from Chile. Bariloche Airport (a 4-hour drive away from the hotel) is probably the ideal alternative for international travelers coming from abroad.
