Alternatively or choose beautiful and rustic garden view accommodations surrounded by thriving rainforests. They provide stunning ocean views, modern bathrooms with delightful outdoor garden showers, and porches furnished with hammocks. These romantic nature lodge bungalows overlook the confluence of the mighty Pacific and the Golfo Dulce.
Bosque del Cabo has it all here for you. You can go for the really active and thrilling adventures, such as zipping through the rainforest to alight on our 110 foot high tree platform or descend a natural rock wall as you follow the course of a beautiful waterfall, or try more tame ventures such as a leisurely sunset tour around the Bosque grounds or a relaxing kayak tour around the Golfo Dulce. And you can even try our totally relaxing activities such as having a jungle massage or shopping for local crafts in our gift shop. We will do our best to set up all the tours you want once you get to the lodge. The only tour that we recommend setting up in advance of your stay is sport fishing (due to limited number of boats and captains).

Torres del Paine is one of Chile's most breathtaking National Parks. Whether you're an avid hiker, keen wildlife spotter or simply a lover of natural beauty, it is bound to be a highlight on your South American holiday. And our team of Travel Specialists all agree that a stay inside the park allows for the most in-depth exploration of its wonders! But, maybe you're short on time or looking for a more budget-friendly option? Then staying in Puerto Natales and doing day trips into Torres del Paine is a great alternative.
Puerto Natales is around two hours' drive from Torres del Paine National Park. However the area outside the park boundaries can be just as impressive. On this recommended four night stay you'll get to see all the highlights of Torres, including Salta Grande waterfall, Lake Sarmiento and the magnificent towers themselves. Plus, you'll navigate the Ultima Esperanza fjord to visit Balmaceda and Serrano Glaciers. And kayak the serene waters of Eberhard Fjord.
