Patagonia: Honeymooning At The Bottom Of The World
09/10/2007 01:09 a.m.
If you're seeking a honeymoon destination that is completely out of the ordinary, why not ask your travel agent to book you into a luxury wilderness lodge at the bottom of the world? The Hosteria Las Balsas at Villa La Angostura, in the province of Neuquen, Argentina is a magnificent and intimate ultra luxurious resort of just twelve rooms and three suites, set amidst magnificent forests and snow-capped peaks in an unique and enchating location in the completely unspoiled Argentine Patagonia.
Las Balsas is a magical hideaway nestled in a dreamlike cove overlooking the sparkling waters of Lake Nahuel Huapi with its own beach and dock which makes it a wonderful base for canoeing, kayaking, sailing and seasonal sport fishing for phenomenal trophy brown and rainbow trout.
If you are seeking some cooler action, just ask your travel agent about slaloming down the slopes in breezes originating at the Antarctic at the nearby Bayo Hill ski resort, or taking a day trip to fish the Traful river at Estancia Arroyo Verde, where you can ride on horseback ride through this astounding countryside, by the shores of the lake, across verdant forests, and up the mountains to enjoy awe inspiring panoramic views and nature. If you're truly seeking adventure you can ride to the Estancia Huemul to revel in its spectacular views and forests filled with red stag, or to Saihueque to feast on a memorable outdoor asado after having galloped through the wilderness with the Capilla, Tronador, and Millaqueo Peaks as a backdrop.
One of the area highlights is the nearby Quetrihué Peninsula with its beautiful Arrayanes Forest, which is filled with red bark trees which occur nowhere else in the world and inspired Walt Disney for his classic film Bambi.
Should all that action leave you a bit stiff and sore, the Las Balsas Spa Center enjoys one of the most breathtaking views in Patagonia and is one of the most sophisticated spa centers in the Andes Mountains where you can indulge in a wide variety of exotic Patagonian treatments specifically designed to enhance health and beauty.
You can also relax in the Hosteria's remarkable, all season heated indoor and outdoor pool or bubble your time away in their relaxing Jacuzzi. By then you should certainly be ready to enjoy the gourmet restaurant overlooking the lake and honored as a member of the prestigious Relais Gourmand. The restaurant features eclectic international cuisine, fine wines and local specialties such as smoked trout and game as well as memorable home-made pastries.
The Hosteria Las Balsas is an unique and unforgettable honeymoon resort where you can commune with some of the last unspoiled wilderness on Earth. Your travel agent can inform you on all the details of this magnificent resort and area.
