Loberias Del Sur

都是那麼完美地舒適

Hotel Loberias is a beautiful hotel with a lovely view, warm people, comfortable rooms and good food. Drinks are not included. The distances between the hotel and the tours are long but worth it. There is still quite a lot of roads that are not paved.

The hotel dominates the remote hamlet uphill from an active port.It is a rather large scale operation- I would guess at least 150 on the galcier excursion- but manages a good standard of food in the restaurant.They try to palm you of with a buffet later,so go in early for proper a la carte. I perhaps enjoyed the bar meal ( forced to eat late one night after restaurant closed) ,which had beautiful beef in a fresh ciabatta,a little more.Views are superb from the restaurant.Breakfast was good,but marred by very small plates. Rooms are standard US type,very spacious and well fitted.There was NO BATH OR BASIN PLUG- a local custom I could do without. The catamaran excursion to the glacier foot started very early and finished late.The bus pick up ( long drive around what would be a short distance on foot), ended in the driver reversing onto an unguarded pier- potential multiple drowning from a slip of the foot! Safety was better managed on the ship,and the small boats were well handled.The inevitable long return voyage ofter the boating ( be warned two boats must make a total of 10 trips,requiring a few hours) was made into a torment by forced “ entertainment” including a quiz and karaoke.Access to the only bit of peace on the stern deck was blocked by dancers. On returning to port ,I felt that visits to the ferry ,container ship,large tug ,and a fishing boat,would have made a more intersting day, though not for the hordes on the cat. I was not aware of any hiking or private boat hire around Chacabuco.

Good hotel. Good structure and good localization. Comfortable rooms with good structure. Great service as everyone was very kind to us. Breakfast is also good. It is a good localization, but not as close to important spots such as Coyhaique or Balmaceda, for those who are doing the Carretera Austral road. I started via Balmaceda Airport and Loberías del Sur was my first hotel. It was good, but maybe I would've stayed in Coyhaique to explore the region and use Puerto Chacabuco to rest before/after Quelat.

The programs that Loberias offer will let you see and experience the best of the Carretera Austral region, which is one of the most beautiful on earth, in an efficient manner. All done with superb quality of service, very good lodging facilities, good food, and very knowledgeable guides. I highly recommend booking a 4-5 program with Loberias.

The small town of Puerto Chacbuco doesn't have much going for except this hotel which is the most modern and upbeat place in town. Chances are you won't end up in Puerto Chacbuco unless you are here to take the trip to San Rafael glacier. This hotel organizes this excellent day trip as well as its own private park where you can hike to a nice waterfall, enjoy Patagonian lamb cooked over an open wood fire and sample great Chilean wines. Rooms are quite modern and the restaurant and bar are quite good. If you do walk around Puerto Chacabuco be sure to find the shipwreck which can be reached by following the shoreline past the passenger terminal.
