    Luxury accommodation for Latin American adventures

    Torres del Paine

    Awasi Patagonia
    You wouldn’t think that the spectacular Patagonian region of Torres del Paine could get any better regarding luxurious design-led hotels, but it has, courtesy of the exclusive sibling hotel to Awasi Atacama, and the only lodge in the area to offer tailor-made excursions for each guest. Adding to that, a portion of the proceeds from each guest’s stay helps to support The Awasi Patagonia Conservation Project, which aims to create a natural corridor for wildlife. Awasi guides also help to monitor the puma populations and keep hunters away, increasing the properties, and its guests, positive impact on the region. 14 wooden-clad, shipping crate-style ‘villas’, which were inspired by the old outpost shelters, lie scattered over the wind-protected private reserve, facing the epic Lake Sarmiento and the famous three-tower peaks. Inside, the warming and minimal Scandinavian cabin decor nicely cushions you from the harsh weather outside, with natural wood interiors, large inviting beds, your own living room with log fireplaces, a hot tub and with every modern amenity to hand. The master villa, which has two bedrooms, is perfect for families. The dispersal of these freestanding villas befits the solitude of your surroundings, giving you a pleasing level of privacy but also a heightened experience of the landscape’s isolation. The main house, just a short walk from the villas, features a Relais & Chateaux restaurant, terrace and living area. Awasi is renowned not only for its style, but for tailoring its tours to each individual guest and for serving delectable gourmet food. Guests can choose whatever excursions they want to do, without having to compromise for the sake of a group.

    When to visit Latin America for active adventures

    The best time for active adventures and outdoor activities in Latin America depends on where exactly you’re going and what you’re planning to do. For instance, summer (December–February) is the best season to go hiking in Patagonia, while winter (May–October) is an ideal time to explore the Andean regions of Peru.

    If you’re hoping to snorkel or scuba dive, head to Belize during the dry season from December to May. In Costa Rica, the dry season varies by region – and certain outdoor activities are only possible at specific times of year. Your best bet is to consult with a travel designer who knows the ins and outs of each destination.

    Keep in mind that because the equator passes right through Latin America, the seasons are reversed in different destinations. Central America and the northernmost part of South America are in the Northern Hemisphere, while the rest of South America is in the Southern Hemisphere.
