For those visiting in winter, explore the untouched landscapes of the Villarrica National Park on a snowshoe trekking expedition or dare to ski down the active Villarrica Volcano.
Each evening a four-course dinner is freshly prepared with ingredients from the farm & paired with world-class Chilean wine, recommended by the sommelier. If it’s the summer, there are open-fire barbecues along the riverbank to grill steaks.
