Vira Vira
Luxury adventure lodge and working farm in Chile’s Lake District
Where exploration begins. And doesn’t stop.
To the south lie the glaciers and wilderness of Patagonia. To the north, the vast silence of the Atacama Desert. Between them, in the heart of Chile’s Lake District, is Vira Vira. Alongside the Liucura River and facing the smoking cone of Villarrica Volcano, this 22-hectare (54-acre) estate is perfectly placed for a broader Chilean journey, with unforgettable adventures from the moment you arrive. Hike beyond the treeline, ride on horseback across open plains, follow rivers deeper into the landscape, or take to the air to reach places few travellers ever see. This is where your journey starts.
—
Move through landscapes that change as deeply as you do.
—
A gateway to what lies beyond.
Set on a private working estate in Araucanía, the ancestral homeland of the Mapuche people, and surrounded by rivers, forests and volcano views, Vira Vira balances exploration with ease.
—
Comfort that follows the adventure.
After days shaped by discovery, Vira Vira offers warmth, generosity and a deep sense of place. Six suites, twelve villas and a five-bedroom Hacienda create spaces that feel open to the landscape yet grounded in comfort.
—
Discovery in every direction.
At Vira Vira, adventure become access. Heli-flights over volcanic peaks, horseback rides through remote valleys and guided journeys into national parks open up the wilder edges of Chile’s Lake District. Each experience is shaped around curiosity, with days that can be active, restorative, or somewhere beautifully in between.
