DISCOVER &BEYOND VIRA VIRALocated in the heart of “Araucanía”, in Chile’s Lake District, the homeland of the courageous Mapuche people, breath-taking glacial lakes

mirror the frosted tips of volcanoes and lush flora decorates national parks. Once a war ground, this area stretching over 99km2 (38 mi2),

saw the Mapuche people resisting the advances of Inca and Spanish invaders. Thriving farmlands transformed into a tranquil tourist mecca,

where a colourful intricately woven tapestry of quaint villages, such as Pucon are sprawled along the shores of the Villarrica Lake, near the

active Villarrica Volcano. Evergreen rainforests, sparkling lakes and massive Araucaría (or monkey puzzle) trees, some over 1 000 years old,

add to the idyllic landscape waiting to be explored.

Nestled amidst a spectacular sprawling 22 hectare (54 acre) estate is the exceptional &Beyond Vira Vira. Immersed in a beautiful park with

natural lagoons, flowing rivers and sensational views of the Villarrica Volcano, luxurious grounds boast both a magnificent lodge and

Hacienda with beautifully appointed suites and villas. A modern working farm, organic vegetable garden and state-of-the-art cheese

factory complete the estate that is set just outside of Pucon, Chile. Freshly grown produce is sourced from the farm and used to create

award-winning Chilean-inspired menus. Guests can enjoy myriad exploits, hosted by knowledgeable and engaging guides, including

trekking in the national parks; horseback riding in the cordilleras; scenic helicopter flights over the Villarrica Volcano; skiing, snowboarding,

snowshoeing or snowmobiling in winter. The list is seemingly endless with fly fishing, mountain biking, and a variety of water sports. All

excursions are specifically tailored according to your interests and fitness levels.

SUITESIntimate yet spacious, six suites at &Beyond Vira Vira have been individually decorated with curated objects and authentic materials. Inviting

bedrooms feature large ensuite bathrooms and all suites offer stunning views of the lagoon and park, or the Liucura River. Look out from your

private terrace to the working farm and bask in the glorious morning light illuminating your suite.

VILLASAlong the shoreline of the Liucura River, guests can enjoy sensational views from one of 12 villas, each individually decorated with beautiful local

tapestries. Inviting the light inside, panoramic windows allow for stunning views and split-level design provides a sense of being immersed in

nature. Offering unrivalled comfort and ambiance, each villa comes equipped with a fire place, large bathroom, spacious terrace overlooking the

river and an outdoor bath tub to relax in, after a day filled with adventure.

HACIENDAGuests can enjoy the exclusivity of &Beyond Vira Vira, a five-bedroom sole-use Hacienda that is ideal for multigenerational travel. The

Hacienda is stunningly decorated with local artwork, textiles and unique furniture, and features one master bedroom with a private outdoor

hot tub, and four bedrooms, three with ensuite bathrooms. Previously the owner’s residence, the Hacienda offers a spacious living and dining

room, a family room on the second floor, a pretty garden terrace, and a covered balcony with veranda that boasts magnificent views.
