Hostal Kurileufu

The Lakes District


This convenient hostal, located 14km west of Río Negro, is perfect as a way station for those opting for the trekking route to Caleta Cóndor (which they can arrange). Elier Rivas was the first to forge relationships with the outsider-weary local community for tourism purposes. His girlfriend, Soledad, whips up traditional cuisine, often using their own blue-shelled Araucana-hen eggs and organic orchards.

Bikes and kayaks are available for rent as well. Outdoor hot tub: bonus!
