THE EXPERIENCE
The Experience
No two stays are ever the same. Some guests seek quiet mornings by the water, others long for mountain summits and forest trails. At Las Balsas, every experience is thoughtfully shaped around the landscape — and around you.
Our team curates each moment with care, balancing movement and stillness, adventure and calm.
On the Lake
The lake is at the heart of Las Balsas. From our private dock, Nahuel Huapi becomes both landscape and experience.
Sailing invites you to surrender to the wind and the rhythm of the water, while kayaking reveals quiet inlets and hidden shores at your own pace. Fishing offers moments of stillness in one of Patagonia’s most pristine environments.
Movement and silence coexist naturally. The water sets the tone.
On the Forest & Mountains
Patagonia reveals itself step by step — and sometimes summit by summit.
Guided trekking ranges from gentle forest trails to rewarding ascents such as Cerro Belvedere, Cerro Centinela, Cajón Negro, or Cerro O’Connor, where waterfalls, ridgelines, and sweeping viewpoints unfold along the way. Mountain biking follows winding paths through forest and mountain terrain, while horseback riding crosses rivers and trails alongside a local gaucho.
Every route is guided, and every experience thoughtfully paced.
Within Las Balsas
Some of the most memorable moments happen without leaving the property.
A slow breakfast overlooking the lake, afternoon tea by the fireplace, seasonal tasting menus inspired by Patagonian ingredients, and restorative wellness rituals all shape the quieter side of the experience.
Within Las Balsas, time softens and the landscape remains present even in moments of stillness.
Beyond the Hotel
For those who wish to explore further, Patagonia extends endlessly beyond the shoreline.
Guided journeys lead to hidden waterfalls, remote forest reserves, and iconic landscapes shaped by glacial history. Routes through the Quetrihué Peninsula and the Arrayanes forest reveal some of the region’s most remarkable scenery, always curated around the season, the terrain, and your interests.
Beyond Inclusive brings these landscapes together, each inviting a different way to explore Patagonia.
Something More Personal
If what you imagine goes beyond a defined activity, our concierge team will design it with you. Private lakeside celebrations, tailored outdoor journeys, and meaningful occasions can all be thoughtfully arranged, creating experiences that feel entirely personal.
Some experiences begin with a place, others begin with an idea
From intimate celebrations to private gatherings, we create moments shaped by the landscape and designed around you.
