- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
-
Posada Queulat (before Fiordo Queulat Ecolodge), is located in the very heart of the Queulat National Park right by the “Carretera Austral” (southern highway), 131 miles north of Coyhaique and 19 miles south of the village of Puyuhuapi. The lodge is very strategically located within the park since it is close to all the interesting trails and only 5 miles form the entrance to the “Ventisquero Colgante” (Hanging Glacier). The lodge has 5 beautiful cabins made of native wood and a very comfortable Club House to relax by the chimney. Each cabin is heated with wood stoves and has private bathroom. All meals are served in the Club House, regional and fresh products are prepared in a wood burning kitchen. The lodge is located by the Queulat Fjord and we operate a wood motor boat (up to 10 pax) for excursions along the fjord where most commonly “Toninas” (austral dolphins) and Sea Lions can be seen playing in the calm waters. The excursion includes a visit to a beautiful tiny island owned by the lodge, with a spectacular view of the Hanging Glacier. Also the lodge offers a hike along a private trail to a 395 ft high waterfall. The trail goes into the virgin temperate coastal rainforest and the guide will show the guests the different trees and under wood vegetation unique to this kind of austral rainforest. Forest birds such as the Chucao Tapaculo and the Huet Huet are seeing during the hike. Guests also can enjoy fishing and kayack in the fjord – we provide all the equipment for kayacks.
