ANDBEYOND VIRA VIRA

Plenty of local character is added to the resort’s stylish design thanks to Mapuche antiques, hand-woven tapestries and playful rugs. Local guides are the expert forces behind the resort’s wide variety of excursions. Cycling and riding give way to heli-skiing and snowboarding adventures as the seasons work their magic. A visit to a local town might include meeting a Mapuche weaver and having lunch at a traditional ruka (house), learning about the Mapuche’s deep connection with Mother Earth. The river offers its majesty on sailing, kayaking or fishing trips – from the sedate to the extreme. Further afield, a helicopter tour of the active Villarrica volcano and thermal springs is an unforgettable opportunity. For total relaxation, the resort’s co-owner leads yoga classes each morning to align chakras, and wood-burning hot tubs are secretly scattered around the grounds.
