 Peuma Hue… "Place of Dreams" in native Mapuche language. Nestled within the grounds of the first and largest national park in Argentina, the Nahuel Huapi National Park, in the Northern Patagonia Lake District, Peuma Hue´s 500 acres of wilderness are located at the southern end of Gutiérrez Lake, only 35 minutes south from the town of Bariloche and 45 minutes from its international airport. Bariloche is the gateway to the northern Patagonian Andes and an internationally renowned mountain resort, famous for its wonderful skiing in winter and its unique beauty in spring, summer and fall. To reach Peuma Hue, drive fifteen miles south of Bariloche on the paved road to El Bolsón and turn right on a dirt road along 1.5 mile to the private entrance gate leading to the lakefront and houses.
With the unique advantage of being a Patagonia ranch, yet relatively close to Bariloche town and international airport, Peuma Hue offers the beauty of its wild surroundings in the Nahuel Huapi National Park and the comfort of luxury accommodations with a total capacity of 27 guests.
Wherever you look, the landscape is breathtaking: rugged, steep slopes, rolling hills of an ancient mountain fold, the calm beauty of the lake and its green bay, the valley behind.
There are many outdoor activities possible within the property wilderness and it has an ideal location to visit the surrounding mountain resorts and national parks. Many prestigious adventure races chose Peuma Hue grounds as part of their challenges: Eco Challenge ´99, Raid Gauloise, Discovery Kids, Peugeot 2001, to mention just some
The main house was designed to maximize the exposure to each vista. It has 4 luxury rooms with private bathrooms and a spacious living room and dining room overlooking the lake. Down the road is a small, cozy and romantic Log cabin, with its fireplace overlooking the creek. Across the bridge and overlooking the lakefront is the Guest House with 4 more bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, a living room and dining room.
A boat house (also used as a spacious and comfortable Board room), two more log cabins for staff and caretakers, a carpentry studio, a barn, a chapel, the stables and pasture grounds, a greenhouse and a native plant nursery and garden complete the inhabited area.
A mile away and 600 ft up the steep D´Agostini slope, an enchanted mountain log cabin overlooks the lake and facing rolling hills. From there, wonderful wilderness awaits for those eager to enjoy it.
Numerous waterfalls and creeks, mountain trails and dirt roads, forests and the lake, steep granite walls and valley trails enable all type of outdoor activities to take place within the property and surrounding areas. A network of trails leads to distant peaks, rivers, lakes, valleys and ridges. This is why many prestigious adventure races chose Peuma Hue grounds as part of their challenges: Eco Challenge ´99, Raid Gauloise, Discovery Kids, Peugeot 2001, to mention just some.
