RIO PALENA LODGE, CHILE

RIVERFRONT OASIS

Set in a pristine Andean valley on the banks of its magnificent eponymous river, Rio Palena Lodge is an ultimate Patagonian adventure retreat. The riverfront oasis features an array of angling opportunities, as the lodge’s location is famous for large, wild, brown, and rainbow trout. The adventure activities on offer ensure you experience the best of Patagonia’s Los Lagos region.

When you’re not exploring, relax in comfort and style. The Rio Palena Lodge features seven en suite bedrooms, each with a stunning river view. A private chef prepares breakfasts each morning and savoury lunches, which will be provided to you at the riverside each afternoon. On your return, you can kick back on the deck overlooking the tranquil river while sipping a fine Chilean wine or Pisco Sour. Or unwind with a soak or steam in the wood-fired hot tubs and sauna. For dinner, enjoy the finest local beef, homemade pasta, grilled salmon, and locally grown produce in the cosy dining room, or indulge in a special Chilean asado, a traditional barbecue paired with fine wines.

Rio Palena Lodge also offers a heli-ski season in late September and October, the surrounding Andes mountains creating the perfect alpine ski terrain during these months.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with 91ºÚÁÏÍø.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with 91ºÚÁÏÍø – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”
The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!
