For those more adventurous they also offer daily excursion through the landscapes of Chilean Patagonia.
This magical place was found by businessman Eberhard Kossmann, president of the shipyard Astilleros Asenav in Valdivia who, captured by the magic of Bahía Dorita, wanted to create a place that would combine modernity and comfort within the wildness of Chilean Patagonia.
In 1986, sailing together with his family through the fjords from Puerto Montt towards the south, Eberhard passed through for the first time, finding it an ideal harbor in which to anchor and stock up with supplies of fresh water. At this time, there was only one modest lodging house that received very few visitors, which had been built by pioneer Ernesto Hein from Coyhaique. In this era, the lodging house was property of a creditor bank, from which it had been handed over to some Canadian businessmen who attracted North American tourists to go fly-fishing in the mountain lakes, travelling only by seaplane. Puyuhuapu Lodge & Resort ranks one of our top ten destinations where we had some of the greatest experience we cherrish for life. Dont let the distance and long journey ahead stop you from at least once in your life be able to find a place to totally disconnect from today's everyday life.
Well worth the trip.
