Perched on a bluff on the edge of Chile’s Lake Sarmiento, Tierra Patagonia is a majestic base from which to explore the beauty and diversity of Patagonia. Wildlife such as guanaco and nandu mingle with free-roaming horses and sheep here, and the lodge’s award-winning architecture frames stunning views of Torres del Paine National Park. Get outdoors and immerse yourself in nature: explore vast grasslands, spend the day hiking amid mind-blowing mountain vistas, go fly-fishing on alpine lakes, and follow trails to glistening glaciers and waterfalls. At the end of an adventurous day, return to the lodge for a swim or a massage in the spa.

W H Y W E LOV E T H I S LO D G E Tierra Patagonia is a celebration of, and an immersion into, the natural beauty of the region. Chilean craftspeople and sustainably harvested materials were employed to realize its innovative design, inspired by traditional estancias and the building style of the indigenous Tehuelche people. Within, wooden interiors direct your view outward to vast and spectacular Patagonia. The lodge gives back to this landscape, supporting a reforestation campaign that seeks to plant a million trees in Patagonia.
