Fodor's Expert Review Chepu Adventures Ecolodge

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

An extraordinary eco-sustainable lodge, this is more than just a place to sleep, but a starting point for kayaking, birdwatching, and hiking the Chepu River and Pacific coast. Built by a Chilean couple originally from Santiago, the lodge has been internationally recognized for its high environmental standards, including a system that controls water usage and electricity powered by solar and wind produced on-site. The four rooms are actually independent, rustic cabins for two, with terraces to admire the view, electric heaters, a private bathroom and shower, and double bed. Opt for an all-inclusive package, which includes a guided kayak trip at dawn and a hike to a magnificent beach.
