Barraco Lodge Location

Barraco Lodge is ideally located to explore the natural beauty of northern Patagonia and the region’s Pacific coast. The main building of the lodge’s complex is a colonial-style house built in 1940. Its renovation was directed by Edward Rojas, an authority on regional architecture, and was carried out entirely by regional craftsmen and with local materials. Rojas’s architectural philosophy is to build in harmony with the region’s natural surroundings, and with respect for cultural traditions.

Barraco is one of the best-equipped lodges in northern Patagonia, with helicopters, motor boats, kayaks, river rafts, and horses available for guests. Professional guides for fly fishing excursions, river rafting, hiking, camping and horseback rides are also available.

After a day of adventure, the lodge awaits guests with hot tubs, saunas, and a massage room. Relax in front of a crackling fire with a glass of wine from one of Chile’s internationally famous wineries, or a bottle of craft beer. Barraco Lodge pays special attention to the use of fresh, local ingredients. Most of the vegetables served at the lodge come from its organic orchard and greenhouse. Guests are encouraged to visit them and participate in the gathering of ingredients and preparation of meals.

Chef Maite Daroch´s cuisine features classic Patagonian specialties, such as lamb and wild boar, king crab, and a wide variety of seafood, including locally caught fresh water fish. Many dishes are cooked in the lodge’s clay oven. They also offer a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, such as dishes prepared with morchela (morels), a delicious wild mushroom found in the Puelo Valley. They also offer the famous curanto, a specialty from the island of Chiloe, made of seafood, meat, and vegetables cooked over heated stones in a hole dug into the earth and covered with nalca leaves.

For a Patagonian asado (barbecue), a lamb is roasted to perfection over an open fire. The conversation and stories exchanged during the lengthy preparation sum up the philosophy of the hardy, resourceful people who settled this area of Chile and Argentina in the late 19th and early 20th century: preparing food and eating are activities to be shared and savored.
