Towering 100 feet above the turquoise Futaleufu River (above Terminator rapid and across from the Rio Blanco Canyon), our facility offers spectacular cliffside dwellings, a scenic dining area, hot tubs and showers. Even the flush toilets have a sweeping river view that takes your breath away!

• Pinilla Creek: Side stream with swimming holes and waterfalls.
• Cliff dwellings: 8 handcrafted, wooden “gazebo style” dwellings perched on a 100-foot bluff with stunning upstream views. The rooms have either 2 twin beds or 1 larger bed for couples. Comfy mattresses, duvets, wool blankets and plush pillows take this to the next level of comfort.

Condor Nest – Optional Night in the Woods

The overnight experience at Condor Nest is optional. Guests can choose to hike to Condor Nest for the day and not sleep over or stay behind for the day, both spending a 4th night at La Vista. The hike to Condor Nest is not too challenging but if overnighting, requires guests to carry their own pack and clothing for the night. Guests will be supplied comfy sleeping pads and sleeping bags to overnight up high in our treefort, two per dwelling.

“The Nest” as we affectionately call it, spans 250 acres and is located at the top of a mountain connecting to the Futaleufu River one side and the town of Futaleufu on the other. The hike to get there is 1.5 hours and offers spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

A primeval wonderland situated on a glacial tarn with thousand-foot walls, Condor Nest is a labyrinth of tree house dwellings connected by sky bridges. Perched 50 feet up from the lake, this dreamlike accommodation is shrouded in a vast expanse of ancient Coihue trees.

Features:

• Condor Falls: Observed from the Treehouse trail, a 100-foot waterfall spilling from Lake of the Frogs.
• Lago Sapo: 10 acre, 70 foot deep spring-fed swimming and kayaking lake. Cloaked in an old growth hardwood forest on three sides with snow-capped mountains on the fourth, the lake was carved by a glacier, in a wind-free natural bowl. At dusk, when the final rays of colour fade from the lake, a chorus of frogs welcomes in the night.
• Tree Houses: each tree house accommodate 1-2 people on thick inflatable mattresses with sleeping bags and pillows.
• Lakeside hot tub: 12-person hot tub and large lakeside deck for dining and mountain views.
• Ancient Forest: Hundreds of acres of old growth hardwood forest with trees as old as 600 years and up to eight feet in diameter.
• Condor Mountain Overlook: A towering bluff overlooking the Futaleufu Canyon and offering views of the Nevada Mountains.
