Futangue Hotel & Spa
Chile
Welcome to the other side of Patagonia. Futangue Hotel & Spa is a boutique landscape hotel located at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, next to a private nature reserve in Northern Chilean Patagonia. Sitting in the meadows near Lake Ranco and the Valdivian rainforest, the hotel offers an unparalleled remote nature experience.
A pristine jewel set in the middle of a native forest-covered amphitheatre, hiding a reservoir for wild trout, close to perfection.” These are the words of Chile’s angling pioneer, Adrián Dufflocq, describing the scenery where guests can fly fish in Futangue Nature Park. An outdoor journey that has to be experienced to be believed. The park and its surrounding areas offer world-class fly fishing, for rainbow and brown trout and also for salmon like Coho, Chinook and Salar. The combination of privacy, excellent connectivity and quality accommodation is difficult to find in other destinations, in addition to the fact that most of the waters we fish have limited access to only a few fishermen.
Futangue Park is a native forest conservation project, opened to the public in 2014. Explore Lake Ranco, Chile´s largest and most beautiful lake. See unique volcanic scenery of Puyehue National Park. Wander through Valdivian rainforest, one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. Go trout fishing at Pichi Lake or the beautiful Los Coipos Lake up in the mountains. Spend the day horseback riding over rivers and prairies to the look-out point across to Pichi Volcano and the Andes. Go kayaking and hike to the hidden Black Lagoon. Hike over 1,000 metres above sea level to an ancient glacial lake. Go mountain biking through Sky Trail to the highest viewing point in the park and the Pitreño Lagoon, where you may spot puma, vizcacha or condor. Take in the pure and raw nature all around you.
