Chile’s Magic Mountain Hotel
Ever wanted to stay in a fairy tale style castle? Well the Magic Mountain Hotel in Huilo Huilo (sounds like Willow willow), Southern Chile, provides you with the perfect opportunity.
This unique hotel with a waterfall cascading down one side, and the rooms looking out into the amazing setting, with views of eagles and condors flying by is truly magical. It’s located in the in Huilo Huilo reserve, which covers sixty thousand hectares and has the snow capped Chocuenco Volcano in its confines, as well as fantastic waterfalls and cold mountain streams.
The building is like no other, no right angles to be seen; in fact it’s shaped like a volcano, complete with every comfort – yet furnished like a tree house. The 13 rooms are around the central core and are accessed by a wood and stone spiral staircase. Plus additional cabins are available in the grounds.
Facilities:
• Rooms are furnished with rough cut wooden walls and furniture
• Spacious very well equipped bathrooms
• ‘The Forest Table’ One of the best restaurants in Chile
• Internet service is available, plus wireless connections for your laptop
• Spa – including Sauna
• Hot tubs – like not others you will have seen; made out of huge tree trunks, filled with hot water and perched on a deck overlooking the forest
• Play mini golf on a walkway course 40 feet above the forest floor
• Excursions packages to view the wildlife or the area
Nearby:
There are two small villages, with restaurants and craft shops. If you have a head for heights there is a 500 metre aerial ropeway 90 metres high in the forest, which allows you to travel from tree to tree looking over the forest canopy. Horse riding, mountain biking - and kayak trips on the Pirhueinco Lake. Hunting and fishing in abundance during the summer, and skiing in the winter months.
A truly magical experience for a once in a lifetime holiday!
