Tawa Refugio – A Haven of Serenity in Patagonia’s Embrace

Nestled along the turquoise waters of the Puelo River in Chile’s Los Lagos Region, Tawa Refugio offers an exquisite escape in the wild beauty of Northern Patagonia. Just 164 km from El Tepual Airport, this boutique retreat sits at the edge of Lake Tagua Tagua, surrounded by pristine forests, towering mountains, and a landscape that whispers tranquility. Here, the harmony of nature and refined comfort creates a sanctuary unlike any other, perfect for those seeking peace and connection.

Indulge in a dining experience that captures the soul of the south. The heart of Tawa Refugio, its A-frame restaurant, overlooks the lake and river, serving a menu inspired by Chile’s rustic traditions. Savor hearty, locally sourced dishes—think warm, comforting flavors paired with a curated selection of regional wines—all enjoyed with panoramic views that stretch across the valley. It’s a place to linger over a meal, share stories, and let the simplicity of the moment wash over you.

The refuge itself is a masterpiece of design, with eight intimate, wood-clad rooms that blend elegance with the wild surroundings. Each opens to a private balcony framing breathtaking vistas of the river and mountains, inviting you to pause and breathe in the crisp Patagonian air. Relax in the soothing warmth of the outdoor hot tubs, where the stillness of the night and the sparkle of the stars above elevate every stay. For a touch of exploration, wander the network of footbridges connecting the property’s unique structures, or take a quiet stroll to soak in the untouched beauty of the forest and lakeshore.

Tawa Refugio is more than a destination—it’s a retreat into nature’s finest embrace. Book your stay and discover the warmth, elegance, and serenity of Patagonia’s hidden gem.
