Explore Chile’s Magic Mountain of the Andes

Deep within the forests of Chile’s Huilo Huilo Reserve, at the foot of the great Southern Andes, is a mountain with its own WiFi hook-up — Magic Mountain Hotel. This man-made structure, comprised of wood and stone, is the perfect getaway for those looking for someplace secluded to hang their hat after a long day of adventuring.

The Magic Mountain is home to nine cozy hotel rooms, each designed with exceptionally crafted architecture and amenities. Those who dare poke their heads from their window will experience the mist of the mighty waterfall. This waterfall emerges from the peak of the structure like a volcano, and runs down its mossy sides. The hotel can be accessed by a winding staircase, or for those brave enough, a rope bridge that hangs four stories above the forest floor. The hotel also features handmade hot tubs made from the enormous hollowed-out tree trunks of the forest. Other attractions include hiking the nearby trails, horseback riding the shaded forest and rafting the surrounding rivers. There is even a mini golf course near the foot of the structure, for those who want to experience the comforts of home while lost in the woods.
