Wild Cooking With Francis Mallmann | Argentina

This Patagonia adventure requires a flight to Comodoro Rivadavia, followed by a drive of 5-6 hours along a dirt road, before an hour’s boat ride. La Isla is nothing if not remote.

Framed low against the horizon, the cabin is hemmed by lenga trees. Inside, there is an air of simple elegance, shelves sagging with books, logs crackling in the hearth, and six cozy bedrooms. Large windows give on to the peaks of Cerro El Gorro, while impenetrable forests reflect in the clear lake waters.  There is no WiFi or phone reception.

Francis Mallmann accepts guests to his slice of Patagonia for a six-day experience, which includes daily cooking classes, private transport to and from the island from Comodoro Rivadavia, and all food and activities, including a mountain guide.
