RIO PALENA LODGE, CHILE

RIVERFRONT OASIS

Set in a pristine Andean valley on the banks of its magnificent eponymous river, Rio Palena Lodge is an ultimate Patagonian adventure retreat. The riverfront oasis features an array of angling opportunities, as the lodge’s location is famous for large, wild, brown, and rainbow trout. The adventure activities on offer ensure you experience the best of Patagonia’s Los Lagos region.

When you’re not exploring, relax in comfort and style. The Rio Palena Lodge features seven en suite bedrooms, each with a stunning river view. A private chef prepares breakfasts each morning and savoury lunches, which will be provided to you at the riverside each afternoon. On your return, you can kick back on the deck overlooking the tranquil river while sipping a fine Chilean wine or Pisco Sour. Or unwind with a soak or steam in the wood-fired hot tubs and sauna. For dinner, enjoy the finest local beef, homemade pasta, grilled salmon, and locally grown produce in the cosy dining room, or indulge in a special Chilean asado, a traditional barbecue paired with fine wines.

Rio Palena Lodge also offers a heli-ski season in late September and October, the surrounding Andes mountains creating the perfect alpine ski terrain during these months.

“MONGOLIA STOLE MY HEART – A JOURNEY I’ll NEVER FORGET”
It was one of the best trips of my life. The itinerary you crafted for us was absolutely perfect; I wouldn’t have changed a thing. What made it even more special was the incredible team who looked after us. Edda was fantastic, and the two drivers we had for the Orkhon Valley and Gobi sections of the trip were possibly the best I’ve ever had.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with 91³Ô¹Ï – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91³Ô¹Ï and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.
