House / Lodge (Concierge Service Available) Northern Patagonia

On the southern shore of Lake Calafquén is Puerto Calafquén. Some people consider this the Northern Patagonia
Puerto Calafquén was born approximately in the 1930s and was owned by state railroads. Many of the lakes in the area were used to transport by boat trees that were used to make sleepers for railroad tracks.
Alfredo Calleja Guzman (Grandfather of Cristian Calleja Videla, the current owner), was a doctor and worked for state railroads. Alfredo traveled a lot along Chile by train and together with his son Sergio Calleja Herrera, they visited this place in 1935. Don Sergio was amazed by the landscape and beautiful natural beauty of this place and that year he made a promise to himself and said that one day he would live there. Years later, around 1965, Sergio bought a piece of land in Calafquén when there were still only two houses in this area.

Between the year 1975 and 1980, the current house was built and since Sergio had 6 children he created the house with multiple rooms so that the whole family could arrive and all the brothers had their space during the summer or winter. This house was built with people from the area, Sergio with 4 people made all the construction.

Sergio Calleja traveled to many countries of the world and did not find a place more beautiful and majestic than this one. His dream was to create a family inn in this house so that anyone in the world could come, know, share and feel like a family to enjoy the place that he considered the most wonderful in the world. He lived in the house for many years, but he died before he could see his dream come true. After his death, Luz Videla Aguirre, Sergio’s wife, kept the house and it was available for the family, however, due to her advanced age, she returned to the city of Santiago to be closer to her family. Luz past away on Christmas day in 2017 surrounded by her entire family.

The current owner, Cristián Calleja Videla, fifth son of Sergio y Luz, is making his dream come tru
