Lago Yunque - La Junta, Region X, Patagonia, Chile
The immensity of the Chilean Andes mountain range hides this cozy lodge, where the open and savage environment becomes an exclusive and magical place with a private lake and kilometers of shoreline. The 200 hectares of Lake Yunque are characterized by its forested landscape, typical of the virgin Valdiviana forest, which includes a variety of oak trees, such as “colihue”, “manio”, Chilean cypress and “caña quila”. Lake Yunque is rich in trout and huge, full-sized salmon, and in its forests, you can find wild boars, pumas and species of pudu-pudu (native deer).
Lago Yunque has a main house of 270 m2, with six rooms and five bathrooms, a big lobby and a dinning-room. Its typical Mapuche decor emits a very special warm embrace. Privacy of guests is assured as the Lodge also has a house for the janitors and a house for the guides with two rooms and service rooms within the main house. The Lodge’s infrastructure is completed with a place for mounting horses, a greenhouse and an exclusive dock on the lake. The activities offered at the Lodge include walking, horseback riding, trekking, navigation of the Palena River’s rapids to the Pacific Ocean, rafting, sport fly fishing for trout and salmon in the river and Lake Yunque.
