Huilo Huilo

Huilo Huilo Nature Reserve and Lake Pirihueico Southern Chile

Huilo Huilo (sounds like Willow Willow) is more of region than a single town. It includes one of the largest privately owned natural reserves in Chile along with several nearby towns, lakes, and a volcano with year around snowboarding and skiing, and the river Fuy that is famous for its class 3-5 white water rafting and kayaking. The name sake of the region is the Huilo Huilo falls (salto del Huilo Huilo ). There is also a smaller, but no less spectacular falls Salto de la Leona (Lion falls). The Lake Pirihueico borders Argentina, and daily car transport ferry connects the international highway to Argentina. The Most of the land surrounding the lake is also part of the Huilo Huilo reserve.

The Huilo Huilo reserve is owned by Mr. Petterman. The Story of how Huilo Huilo nature reserve is luckily coming to be a more common one in Chile. Basically a businessman dedicates his fortune and his land to preserving nature. This type of private investment into the environment is a wonderful new phenomena for Chile, and has happened before in places like Pumalin Park and Chiloe. We hope to see more of this type of environmentalism in Southern Chile as the economic value of preserving the environment is fully appreciated for being simply good business and a great thing to do.

The Magic Mountain Hotel in the Huilo Huilo Reserve

Magic mountain hotel southern Chile with water fall coming out of the top

Yes, that is a waterfall coming
out of the top of that hotel!

In Southern Chile there is not that many true four star hotels and above. Well, we found one. The Magic Mountain Hotel in the heart of the Huilo Huilo nature reserve. The architecture, combined with the forest setting, makes this truly a magical mountain. Full four star international service, in such a spectacular location, sets the Magic Mountain Hotel apart from all the other hotels we have visited in Southern Chile. The realy funny thing is that the Magic Mountain hotel you see in the photo is possibly the least spectacular thing going on around the Huilo Huilo nature reserve in Southern Chile. We even got video of it.

Huilo Huilo Hotels and Places to Stay

Huilo Huilo has a surprising number of good hotel rooms, considering how remote the location is in Chile. In fact, room for room it has more four star and up hotel rooms that most of the major cities in southern Chile. Within a year, there will be two new hotels opening, and more are planned for the area. There are also plenty of places for the back packers and the budget travelers by way of hostels, cabins, and local Bed & Breakfast type places.
