Since 1917, when the only access to these remote corners of Patagonia was by boat or seaplane, visionary pioneer Primo Capraro built a small wooden cabin for friends, visitors and fly-fishermen. Thereafter, it grew to become a fine property. In 1943, his son Francisco built the main central structure with blocks of volcanic sand, granite, and cypress woodwork that for years was a landmark in the region.

This rich history is reflected in every corner of Correntoso. Tea time is served either indoor or out on the terrace overlooking the lake as a tea sommelier prepares a special blend for each guest. Recommended by Conde Nast Johansens, the hotel is one of the best places to visit in Patagonia today.

Stroll through the gardens of Villa La Angostura rainforest, a secret jewel of Patagonia. Admire panoramic views from the comfort of the hotel’s expansive decks, while tasting the traditional smoked cold meat and Argentine wines. Savor the exquisite and fresh combination of flavors and textures in the hotel’s elegant restaurants and wine bar, and revitalize your body and mind with massage, facial treatments, stretching sessions, guided yoga practices, or the therapeutic Hamman.

Correntoso has adopted sustainable management practices and is a member of a national program of sustainable tourism certification (Sustainable Hotel Industry Ecolabelling Program of the Argentine Association of Tourism Hotels). Additionally, the hotel has a water purification plant to protect the Correntoso River and Nahuel Huapi Lake, and surrounding fauna and flora, for years to come.
