Why We Like This Lodge

  • Located 30km south of San Martín de los Andes, this hotel is easy to reach, but set in a secluded location and is an ideal stop off on the Route of the Seven Lakes.
  • The hotel is set in 1.5 hectares of natural park, surrounded by stunning scenery, so you don't need to go far to feel truly immersed in nature.
  • Your stay here can be completely personalised to include hiking and biking in the mountains, swimming in crystal-clear rivers, kayaking and fishing trips on nearby lakes, horse riding through panoramic landscapes and even skiing in the winter months.
  • Intimate service and seven very comfortable rooms – some with large private terraces – make this the perfect place to relax and soak up the views.
  • You can enjoy both local and international cuisine in the restaurant whether it's breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner. There's also a well-stocked bar area in which to relax after your excursions.

The hotel overlooks a crystal-clear river which, in the summer months, is warm enough for a swim. This is a truly invigorating experience, perhaps best enjoyed in the late afternoon, after returning from an excursion.

Rio Hermoso isn't a hotel, it's an elegant and cozy home-from-home. I love that there is no television, and you are awakened by the trickle of the river and the birds' dawn chorus from outside your bedroom window.
