What to do at andBeyond Vira Vira?
In both summer and winter, the lodge offers a range of outdoor and cultural experiences to discover the local heritage and explore the surrounding terrains.
Kayak across the clear waters of Lake Tinquiloco, raft down the racing rapids of the river or learn about the fascinating cultural and culinary heritage of Chile’s indomitable Mapuche people.
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 and 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.
