Perched at the meeting point of the Correntoso River and the vast, shimmering Nahuel Huapi Lake, Correntoso Lake & River Hotel is one of Patagonia’s most atmospheric hideaways.
With 45 rooms, this modern boutique retreat blends clean design with the wild beauty of southern Argentina—volcanic peaks, deep forests, and water that shifts from sapphire to silver with the light.
It’s a place where nature leads every moment, and serenity feels almost elemental.

A Day at Correntoso Lake & River Hotel
Morning
Wake to soft mountain light spilling across the lake. Enjoy breakfast with warm pastries, fresh berries, and the smell of pine drifting in from the forest.
Afternoon
Kayak along the river, hike a woodland trail, or return for a spa treatment with lake views. Time slows as clouds move across the peaks and sunlight flickers on the water.
Evening
Savor Patagonian dishes in the dining room—trout from local waters, smoked meats, and seasonal vegetables—while watching the sky turn amber over the lake.
Night
Your room feels like a quiet observatory facing the wilderness. The stillness is profound, broken only by the gentle pulse of the river.
Insider Tips for Correntoso Lake & River Hotel, Villa La Angostura
- Book a room with a lake or river view—If you can swing it, get a room with a view of the lake or river; that’s where you’ll get the “wow” factor every morning and evening.
- Reserve restaurant & spa services early—especially in peak season, reservations for dinner or massages can fill up.
- Use the hotel as a base—explore the surroundings—take advantage of kayaking, fishing, hiking, or just wandering nearby trails and lakes
- If arriving at night, have directions ready—because the sign can be dim, it helps to have GPS/offline map or clear directions from the reception in advance.
- Spa timing matters. Go right at opening for a completely silent spa (locals know this).
- Ask the waiter for the off-menu “simple dinner” options (locals call it cena liviana). It may include soups, salads, small trout dishes, or pasta—cheaper and excellent.
