Las Bandurrias Eco Hostal

The Lakes District


The friendly Swiss-Chilean owners at this newly built eco-guesthouse will grab you in town to introduce you to their fairy-tale sleeps, the best and most sustainable choice. The bathrooms and guest kitchen are great, and composting and solar heating are the norm. House-made breads (including Swiss tresse) and outdoor tables and benches overlooking the fjord are highlights.

Book ahead as there are only five rooms, and get directions via Av El Bosque – Google maps will lead you astray.
