&Beyond Vira Vira is an innovative concept - both a luxury hotel and a hacienda, it aims to provide wholesome outdoor experiences and fresh and delicious produce to guests, whilst also providing a fascinating insight into how a traditional farm operates.
An exclusive hacienda-style boutique property, on the banks of a fast-flowing river, surrounded by dense forest and watched over by the immense Villarrica Volcano
With such spectacular and diverse terrain surrounding the lodge, there are activities and experiences to suit all, and the expert guides will tailor them to your interests
And it’s not just active pursuits – guests are encouraged to learn first-hand about the unique cultural and culinary heritage of Chile’s resilient Mapuche people
Floor to ceiling windows bathe the spacious wooden interiors with plenty of natural light and furnishings are adorned with traditional textiles and colourful art
&Beyond Vira Vira offers guests the chance to discover the unique beauty of the Pucón Valley in superior comfort and style. The hotel is perfectly located, close to a beautiful national park with natural lagoons, wild forest trails, winding rivers and stunning views of the Villarrica Volcano.
Created as a traditional hacienda, the rooms and suites are traditionally decorated with Chilean rugs and furnishings creating a warm and cosy atmosphere. Wooden-clad rooms and suites create the perfect accompaniment to the stunning natural surroundings on the banks of the Liucura River. We recommend the senior suites which have outdoor hot tubs, perfect for relaxing in with a glass of Chilean wine after a day of discovery and adventure.
Activities at Vira Vira are endless in either summer or winter; adventurers will relish the white-water rafting and kayaking down the rapids, while the more laid back can enjoy peaceful fly-fishing or drifting gently down the river in a little boat. There are also fantastic walking trails through the surrounding national parks with remarkable lookout points over. More recently the hotel has also added Heli Tours to its excursion offering, so guests can now be flown over the crater of the smoking volcano. In the winter months the area boasts skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and winter horse riding among its activities, all set out in front of a backdrop of Chile's snow-capped volcanoes for an utterly magical scene.
