Where to stay in Aysen

While tourism is on the rise in Aysen, the region remains relatively untouched which means that places to stay can be few and far between in some of its wilder corners. In spite of this, there are a number of sensational tucked away places, as well as some simple yet comfortable guest houses located at convenient points along the Carretera Austral, perfect for an overnight stop en route. To make things a little simpler in deciding where to stay, we've highlighted four key regions and the accommodation options on offer in each.

Queulat and Palena

Posada Queulat

These cosy wooden cabins nestled within Queulat National Park are an ideal base for families or groups of friends who are keen to explore the verdant national park. Cabins range in size, housing from two to five people in each. Walk straight out of the front door onto some wonderful hiking trails, go kayaking or take a trip to visit the hanging glacier. Disconnect and relax completely with no internet, phone signal or television.

Puyuhuapi Lodge

Bathe in the natural thermal pools at this secluded lodge perched on the shores of the Puyuhuapi Fjord. Its location makes it the perfect place to stay in order to visit the northern section of Queulat National Park. The scenery doesn't get much more tantalising with the emerald fjord fringed by the deep greens of the temperate rainforest and snow-covered granite peaks rising out of the jungle.

Aysen was another highlight of our trip. We loved the Enchanted forest and our stay at Fiordo Queulat Eco Lodge.

Hospedaje La Casona

After winding your way down the switchbacks heading south on the Carretera Austral from the Cerro Castillo mountain range, you take a left at the first junction to arrive at this simple, homely guesthouse just off the main route. Wonderful mountain views and rolling fields await you at La Casona, run by your friendly host, Mary. Just 10 minutes' drive away in Villa Cerro Castillo you can find a few small shops and restaurants. Make the most of the stunning scenery by following trekking trails, exploring on horseback or just relaxing in this bucolic setting. Perfect for road trippers.

Harriet says

La Casona feels more like a homestay than a guest house. Your host, Mary, is totally charming and has been receiving guests for more than 20 years. Not only does she bake fresh bread daily and serve all her own homemade jam, but she will also happily provide a homemade dinner with prior notice.

San Rafael and General Carrera

El Mirador de Guadal

Perched on the shores of Lake General Carrera with views of its turquoise waters, snow-capped mountains and the Northern Ice Field, El Mirador de Guadal is a lodge that will make you never want to leave. Bright, spacious wooden cabins with huge windows, natural, simple decor, wood burners and terraces overlooking the lake are dotted along the lakeside, all with access to the beach. The lodge offers excursions to the Marble Caves, the Exploradores Valley, the Baker River and Patagonia National Park in the Chacabuco Valley.

La Lenga

Mallín Colorado Lodge

Stay in one of Mallin Colorado Lodge's rustic cabins in the woods overlooking Lake General Carrera on your trip along the Carretera Austral. There are four smaller cabins accommodating two to six guests and the newly built Casa Lenga for up to twelve people. They're made entirely of native lenga wood, making them extremely cosy, especially once you've lit the wood burner. Each has a private terrace where you can just sit back and soak up the mountain views. It's the ideal base for visiting the Marble Caves, being only 40 minutes by car from the beginning of the excursion. You're also in prime position for exploring the Exploradores Glacier and San Rafael Lagoon. Equally, there are some great hiking trails surrounding the lodge to discover.

We couldn't have booked this trip without Swoop. In particular, the accommodations recommended to us along the Carretera Austral were perfect. I have and will continue to recommend working with Swoop for any interested friends.

Cochrane, Caleta Tortel and Villa O'Higgins

BordeBaker Lodge

Seven exquisitely designed cabins perched atop the banks of the Baker River make up BordeBaker Lodge, surrounded by southern beech forest and connected by wooden walkways. The striking geometric architecture of these self-contained wooden cabins perfectly compliments the natural setting. Listen to the rush of the river and the whip of the wind while relaxing in your warm, spacious bedroom with enormous windows teetering above the water. All have wood burners, generously sized beds and private bathrooms. Enjoy total privacy. Get to know other guests in the communal 'Casona' with floor-to-ceiling windows and spectacular mountain views. Delicious meals are served here and there's space to unwind after a day's hiking, rafting, kayaking, fishing or boat tripping.

Green Baker Lodge

Just three kilometres south of Puerto Bertrand on the banks of the Baker River sits Green Baker Lodge, in amongst the trees. The lodge is a convenient place to stay consisting of a central guesthouse with five cosy bedrooms and seven simple, comfortable cabins accommodating two to seven people in each. Cabins have their own kitchens, bathrooms and wooden decked terraces. Furniture is made from red Rauli wood, native to the area. Try a hot tub on the riverbank or use the zipline to whizz across the river.

Explora Patagonia Park

Deep in the Patagonia National Park awaits a luxury lodge that was built to impress and feels like an Oxford college set in the middle of Patagonia. This stunning lodge is constructed with quarried stone from the valley. Recycled wood has been dutifully handcrafted to make high ceiling beams, floors, door and window frames and furniture throughout and amazing wood carvings of the local wildlife, every piece polished and a perfect fit. Stay in the lodge for total tranquillity and comfort; a little oasis amongst the swaying grasses with hardly a soul (only six rooms) and views of the guanacos and craggy peaks that are hard to beat.

Hotel Ultimo Paraiso

Ultimo Paraiso is our top hotel choice in Cochrane. A homely place to stay just two blocks from Cochrane's main square, Hotel Ultimo Paraiso is by no means luxurious but has everything you need for a very comfortable stay in this little town. Wooden cladding inside and out give it a real mountain lodge feel. It has seven rooms for up to three people in each and all have modern en suite bathrooms. For breakfast, help yourself to a buffet of cereals, breads, cakes, fruits, cheeses and meats. Close to the Chacabuco Valley, San Lorenzo and San Valentin mountains and the Baker River, there's plenty to do for nature lovers.

Entre Hielos Lodge

Make your way up the wooden stairway that climbs through the trees to Entre Hielos Lodge, a spacious guest house in Caleta Tortel. Look out into native rainforest from your bedroom window and breathe in the jungle. Rooms are warm and relaxing with walls made from Guaitecas Cypress wood. All have comfortable beds with thick down duvets, en suite bathrooms and central heating. You can do a number of excursions from the lodge, including boat rides down the Baker River and visits to nearby glaciers. Dine at the lodge's own restaurant, providing typical Patagonian dishes made with local ingredients.
