Isla Los Conejos
In Northern Patagonia, majestic mountains, massive glaciers, dense rainforests, turquoise lakes and dazzling fjords together create one of the most rugged and beautiful natural locales in all of Chile. Here, the fjord-shaped Yelcho Lake, with its emerald waters fed by ancient glaciers and snow drifts, is revered as one of the best places on Earth for fly fishing, as well as one of the most import freshwater reserves in the country.

In Northern Patagonia, majestic mountains, massive glaciers, dense rainforests, turquoise lakes and dazzling fjords together create one of the most rugged and beautiful natural locales in all of Chile. Here, the fjord-shaped Yelcho Lake, with its emerald waters fed by ancient glaciers and snow drifts, is revered as one of the best places on Earth for fly fishing, as well as one of the most import freshwater reserves in the country.
Here too you’ll find the stunning Isla Los Conejos, 23.6 acres of secluded sheer beauty including a large virgin native forest that’s home to a number of bird species. The island also has two furnished cabins, one of which has two bedrooms, a living/dining room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, while the other has one main room with single beds. Outside, there’s a barbecue area and outdoor table for delightful al fresco meals. The cabins have cable service and satellite internet, with access to water through the mechanical extraction as needed. Electricity is provided to all facilities through a gasoline generator. A solid iron pier is currently under construction on the island.
Isla Los Conejos lies within the town of Chaitén, which neighbors the very tourist-popular towns of Futaleufú and Palena. Much of the nature surrounding Yelcho Lake is part of the Pumalin National Park, which houses and protects the region’s flora and fauna, including native forest with 3,000-year-old endangered trees, as well as animal species like pumas, monitos del monte, pudus, condors, and other protected species. Nearby too is the famed Futaleufú River, one of the world’s premiere whitewater rafting rivers, offering four distinct sections of world-class rafting at varying difficulties.
All told, Isla Los Conejos is a magical offering in one of the world’s last remaining unspoiled landscapes, a chance to own your own slice of pure heaven here on Earth.
