For us, accommodation goes beyond than just providing a place to sleep. In many cases it is an essential part of the entire holiday experience, adding great value to your trip and giving special insights on the local culture.
We specially emphasize on the accommodation style, always preferring cozy and picturesque places rather than bigger hotels. In South America there are hundreds of small and beautiful hotels and B&B/Inns (we call them in Spanish hosterias or posadas). These small hotels, hosterias and posadas offer great comfort, very good quality, clean rooms, great locations and the friendliest staff you can find in the area.
We are specialists in small and charming hotels and B&B/Inns; however, we can arrange stays in any type of accommodations, from hostels to 5-Star hotels and from Estacias (ranches) to camping. Our aim is to provide the best available option taking care of your trip style and budget.
We our proud to say that we know every place we offer our clients. We have stayed in or visited all of them and we are every time looking for new hidden places. This is the reason why we can be reliable travel advisors.
Following below, you will find links to meet our selected accommodations, divided by destination and including pictures and descriptions. We are confident that you will find these pages very useful to know exactly which places will fill your needs.

What does Say Hueque Mean?
Say Hueque is the name of the last tribal chief that surrendered to white people in their conquest of the American lands, in 1885. The Great Cacique Say Hueque was Mapuches’ leader, a powerful tribe in central Patagonia area. Their cultural influence is still very strong at some locations close to the Andes Range.
In the Mapuche dialect, the sound hueque /ueke/ / is refereed to guanaco, a camelid animal native to South America and typical of the Southern Andes (family of Llamas, Alpacas and Vicuñas). Mapuches used to say hueque every time they saw a group of guanacos nearby.
Say Hueque Spirit
Being in a beautiful place and get deeply moved. Look around, take a deep breath and feel that you are going through an unforgettable experience. Our goal is to make our passenger take that deep breath, and that fullness feeling is that we call “Say Hueque’s Spirit”.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
Discover." - Mark Twain
