Campo Eggers

The Lakes District


An invaluable choice in an impeccably clean and sensibly furnished log home owned by spirited Blanca Eggers, who can set up accommodations in pioneer homes and B&Bs all the way to Lago Puelo in Argentina. Breakfast, onces (elevenses) and dinner (and wine!) – almost all hailing from the farm itself – are included and often involve traditional lamb or wild-boar asado.

The animal-packed farm's postcard setting in front of the 1200m El Salto waterfall – two new top-shelf cabañas frame it perfectly – is a destination in itself, but it can be too quiet if it's not a full house.
