Travel Observations and Arrival Information
To get to Los Torreones Lodge you need to make flight arrangements to Balmaceda, Chile (code:BBA).
Direct flights from Santiago run regularly, though it is wise to get your booking well in advance.
At the Balmaceda airport you will be met by lodge staff .It´s small airport and easy to find each other. We first drive 40 minutes into Coyhaique, and stop to get your fishing Licenses a cup of coffee, and slowly edge into the Patagon Life style. Then we drive another 40 minutes through the Simpson Valley out to the Lodge. Departure Information: On your departure day you will be driven back to Balmaceda airport by a member of our staff.
Travel Recommendations in Chile Documentation Requirements
You will need a valid passport to enter Chile! Please make sure your passport is valid for six months after the last day of your trip. No visa is needed for US citizens traveling to Chile.
Currency: Basically not needed. At the lodge dollars are accepted at current exchange rate for gratuities, artwork, and any “extras”. Los Torreones currently does not accept Credit Cards:
Cash and Wire Transfer are preferred.
Travel Cash: Chile is highly wired for commercial ATM banking. While almost all restaurants and hotels take Credit cards in Santiago some cash is needed for gratuities and souvenirs. As a rule of thumb count on approximately $750.00 – $1,000.00 (per week of travel /per person) for tips, handicrafts, and “extras”.
Gratuities: Our Guides and staff work long and hard over the short season and highly appreciate any gratuity! We suggest a minimum of 15% of your package rate per person per week. On your final morning at the Lodge we will add this gratuity to the final total bill and distributed appropriately.
Fishing Licenses:We can also arrange your Chilean fishing license for you online prior to your arrival in Chile. This saves a little time on your arrival day. Cost is approximately (US $75 per person). The fishing license is good for one year. This is not included in your package price and can be paid in US dollars/ cash when you arrive to Los Torreones. Please include with your booking the following information for us to get the license online: full name, DOB, address and passport number.
Weather:
Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.
— Mark Twain
We don't think Mark Twain made it to Patagonia but he was spot on in his description of the weather.
Boy scout your approach to weather and you will be fine:
Be Prepared!
From hot and sunny (80°F+) to cool and rainy (40ºF) and the occasional blast of wind. Expect rain, sun, wind In short ANY condition. We recommend the layered approach.
Clothing: Think layered clothing appropriate for warm days and cool evenings. Casual travel oriented wear is the rule of thumb. Light Rain gear of course and wind breakers for trekking are appropriate.
Light shoes for inside the lodge in the evening. For trekking or horse back riding good hiking shoes.
Medical Facilities: Please let us know if you have any special needs. It is the guest's responsibility to disclose any special medical, physical, or diet requirements to the lodge ahead of time in order to for us to be as prepared as possible.. Safety first!
