Huemules was designed with the purpose of providing guests a comfortable and intimate stay in full contact with Nature. The Reserve has 10 domes, separated about 30 meters (100 ft) from each other and the ñire forest. The domes’ layout was designed to allow maximum privacy. Each dome has its own private deck with open views from the room. Each dome has a queen size bed or two twin beds; a foldable cot can be added if children less than 14 years old stay with the adults. If the children are over 14, an extra dome needs to be reserved. They’ll try our best to ensure that families are lodged as close as possible. Domes are equipped with full-bathroom, hot water available round the clock, electricity, wood stove, biodegradable bath products and all the amenities the most discerning guest may expect.
Huemules offers the best food in the region during the 4 daily meals that are included.
Huemules offers all kinds of recreational and sport outdoors activities that are also included in the rate. Different activities are offered depending on the time of the year guests will be visiting.
