The Valle Bonito Lodge
The Valle Bonito has two cozy riverside cabins for our guests. Each includes a kitchen, living room, wood stove, two bedrooms and one bathroom with toilet, showers, and hot and cold running water. Both cabins sleep 2-4 guests. The main lodge has a kitchen, large dining/living room and rooms for 6 guests with shared baths. Electricity is provided by a generator during the day and rechargeable flourescent lights keep things lit up at night.
Here you can play all day, and in the evening sit back and relax on the front porch, listen to the river and enjoy the peaceful setting of the Valle Bonito Lodge and the wonders of Futaleufú. The Espolon river is literally a few feet away and the soothing sounds of flowing water assure a restful nights’ sleep after each day in this special part of the world.
