Estancia Peuma Hue
The lakeside retreat of Estancia Peuma Hue literally translates as ’Place of Dreams’ in the native Mapuche language. Set amidst dramatic scenery in the Nahuel Huapi National Park one can understand where it gets its namesake. Peuma Hue has just 10 guest rooms, distributed amongst two houses and two cabins with stunning views across the lake, forest or hills. All rooms are decorated in an elegant, rustic style. The lodge is beautifully designed, combining great comfort and contact with nature, huge windows, roaring fires, lovely quiet spots to sit and meditate. Puema Hue is an excellent base for trekking, horseback riding, mountain biking, fly fishing, and kayaking. The more adventurous can opt to go white water rafting, rock climbing, or rappelling. The estancia is also close to a number of trails that connect to the Nahuel Haupi National Park, one of the largest national parks in Argentina. Dining is special at Peuma Hue, featuring delicious, homemade meals prepared from organic vegetables straight from the garden. In this friendly family-style atmosphere, meals are eaten at a communal table. After a full day of exploring the mountains, you can enjoy a massage and a whirlpool bubble bath as you overlook the beautiful Andean peaks. There are also yoga and tango classes on offer and occasionally classic Andean and Celtic music concerts.
