Interior spaces are accented with local flagstone, volcanic rock, wool textiles, and guaitecas cypress. Large picture windows fill the hotel with light, maximizing views of the lake and surrounding woodlands. Hotel Awa is located 30 miles (18 minutes) northeast of the town of Puerto Varas, approximately 40 minutes from the Puerto Montt (PMC) airport. Nearby, guests can explore Vicente Perez Rosales National Park, the Petrohue Waterfall, Alerce Andino National Park, the Llanquihue National Reserve. This lake is one of the most accessible wilderness destinations in all of Chilean Patagonia. The snow-capped cone of Osorno Volcano rises through the clouds above the opposite shore. The hotel is flanked by southern beech and pine forest, and overlooks the lake and a private dock.

Hotel AWA rests on a 50-acre private estate on the sparkling shore of Lake Llanquihue.
