CondorNest Ranchito:
The CondorNest Ranchito is a unique setting for the family, couple, artist, or celebrity. It is ideal if you are looking to get away from it all, yet live comfortably with full exclusive service, and be inspired by nature's majesty. The CondorNest provides complete privacy and isolation, located between the confluence of a high alpine stream, the Rio Futaleufu, and Rio Azul. You can enjoy the exclusivity of the CondorNest at night, while participating in all of our multisport activities.

This Private Estancia Lodge:
is the most refined option Expediciones Chile offers and it is the only exclusive lodge of it's kind on the Futaleufu River. The house is a model of green living, with solar taking care of most energy needs. Water is pumped in from a natural spring. There are three bed-rooms, each with twin beds, that sleep a total of six guests comfortably. The master bedroom, on the first floor, has its own bathroom (with both a tub and a walk-in shower), while the upstairs bathroom (with two sinks and a walk-in shower) is shared by the two upstairs bedrooms with twin beds. There is also a half-bath on the first floor. The house is equipped with a washer and dryer.

Meals are prepared by your own private chef that lives in the staff quarters a half kilometer away. Main meals are served in the dining room. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres are served in the sitting area after your day's activities. Should you have any special dietary needs we are happy to design a special menu for you. We have our own private label wine served with dinner. We can make arrangements to purchase the alcohol you desire for the week.  The farm's caretakers, Harry Morales (horseback guide) and his wife, Marcella (chef and housekeeper), live in a farmhouse about 500 meters from the main house. Cell phone coverage connects you to our office in the village for instant communication.

Read what some of the critics have said:

"No wonder this river is gaining a reputation as the continent's finest boating destination. All you need to visit a place called Campo Tres Monjas, now one of the finest facilities of its kind anywhere." ~ Howard Davidson of American Whitewater

"When you think of you have seen it all you arrive at Campo Tres Monjas and the definition of a beautiful setting has to be re-written." ~ Paul Oz of Canoe Focus Magazine

"Discover the perfect ride on Chile's Futaleufú. Chris Spelius searched the world for the perfect river. Share this dream in a remote Chilean valley, complete with mountain grandeur and friendly campesinos." ~ David Quammen of Discovery magazine.

“A Futaleufú Adventure Center vacation is guaranteed to change or at least improve your life". ~ says OUTSIDE magazine’s Trip Finder issue.
