Agent Tips

  • A must-try experience is their traditional Asado, complete with smoked lamb and beef, lively music, and dancing under the stars along the riverbanks.
Rooms + Suites

High-energy, adventure-fueled spirit.

Seven well-appointed guest suites are characterized by Chilean-made rugs, hardwood floors, and Patagonian ambiance. Every detail was carefully curated with a heavy influence from indigenous Chilean crafts and the modern Chilean artists who stamped the space with Patagonia’s signature style. Each room also features locally-made, custom-woven headboards with Chilean motifs. En suite bathrooms are each decorated uniquely with original cement tiles inspired by traditional designs.
Spa

Refined wellness experience.

A wood-fired sauna and two hot tubs offer guests a natural yet refined wellness experience, further connecting guests to the rugged nature of Patagonia.
Restaurants

Culturally-driven meals.

Far removed from any establishments, Rio Palena Lodge is fueled by culturally-driven meals artfully crafted by its team of local chefs. Try their Chilean-favorite empanadas, or bite into the iconic sopaipillas con pebre alongside an array of seafood from Chile’s 4,000 miles of coastline. Guest favorites include seasonally relevant, custom-prepared picnics near the water.
Bar

Sweeping variety of world-renowned wines

Upon request, Eleven Experience's team can set up a traditional Mate bar or present a sweeping variety of world-renowned wines from every corner of Chile during guests' adventures. The signature beverage, however, is the ever-popular Pisco Sour: a citrusy tart cocktail poured with native Pisco liquor and topped with delicately frothed egg whites.
  • Who's it for?
    Rio Palena Lodge beckons groups of up to fourteen guests who have a taste for world-class adventure, famously flavorful cuisine, elevated wellness, and authentic culture. From full property buyouts for larger groups to by-the-room stays for honeymoons and intimate reunions, Rio Palena Lodge welcomes every level of adventurer.
  • Location
    Rio Palena Lodge is a remote oasis located within Chilean Patagonia's untouched landscape. Marked by endless expanses, rushing rivers, and dramatic terrain, the awe-inspiring Andes mountains serve as the lodge’s backdrop, luring guests to explore one of the world’s most pristine valleys.
