BordeBaker Lodge
We are located in Carretera Austral or Austral Highway (Route 7), in the Region of Aysén, Patagonia. On the banks of the Baker River, the most abundant and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Chile, with an intense turquoise color that contrasts with the green of the forests and the ice of the glaciers. Also, this wonderful location gives us insurmountable views towards the mountain ranges of Campos de Hielo Norte, with the Contreras Cord as a protagonist –which can be appreciated from all our dependencies.
The meeting place is the Main House or Casona, built entirely with native wood, which gives a special warmth to all its spaces. There, the terrace and the central fireplace are the places to relax and enjoy the views and our attention.
Thanks to a unique strategy of adaptation to the surrounding environment, the rooms have great independence. Each one is isolated within the forest of ñires, being connected by cypress footbridges to the other rooms and the Main House.
BordeBaker Lodge was designed and built under the premise of Sustainable Development and the promotion of Ecotourism. Therefore, to respect and preserve the environment as much as possible, only native wood from surrounding areas was used for its construction, and the place was intervened as little as possible. Also, we use LED lighting, recycle most of the waste generated, and treat the water.
For us, a conscious interaction with nature is a mandatory action, which is why we have determined a series of sustainability strategies associated with our water consumption and treatment strategies, recycling and composting, the promotion of a local development economy, the protection of our carbon footprint and the ecological restoration with endemic species on our land. We are lovers of this amazing territory, and we are committed to a careful and harmonious development in ecosystem terms.
The kitchen of our Lodge is supplied with fruits and vegetables from vegetable gardens and greenhouses of the sector, which are grown organically by our neighbors. This way, we provide economic support to the community of people living nearby. The dishes are based on Patagonian culinary culture, using local techniques and products. Our attention is warm, attentive, and personalized.
