The Lodge | Parque Diana, Patagonia

The Lodge

A Home in the Andean Foothills

Built by the family in 1963 and shaped by three generations of hunters since, the lodge sits alone on the ranch — no neighbours, no through-traffic, just the mountains and the river beyond the veranda. Ten mountain cabins with heated floors and fireplaces sit a few steps from the main lodge, where the bar, dining room and living area open onto the water.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared in-house — Patagonian ingredients, Argentinian craft, and a chef who grew up in San Martín de los Andes.

Getting here

How to reach us.

Fly to San Martín de los Andes
A 2-hour flight from Buenos Aires into San Martín de los Andes (CPC), an international field that also receives private and chartered aircraft.
A short drive into the foothills
We meet every arrival at the airport. From the apron it is a quiet drive through the Andean valleys to the gate.
Arrive at Parque Diana
Your cabin is warm, the fire is lit, and rifles are checked the same afternoon.

Flying privately? Customs and immigration are arranged on request at San Martín de los Andes, so your crew clears on the field rather than routing through Buenos Aires. Please contact us for details.

The Cabins

A Private Cabin for Every Hunter — Heated Floors, Your Own Fireplace

No shared rooms. Each hunter is given his own cabin, warmed underfoot by radiant heated floors and centred on a fireplace lit before you return from the field.

One Cabin per Hunter

Complete privacy, every stay.

Heated Floors

Radiant warmth throughout, all season.

Private Fireplace

Lit and stocked each evening.

High Country

Shelter on the Ibex Mountain

Above the tree line we keep a simple shelter for the long days of the ibex hunt — a place to warm up, take a meal, and wait out the mountain weather before the next climb.

Exclusive Use

Five Hunters Take the Whole Ranch

A party of five books Parque Diana in its entirety. No other hunters in the field, no other names at the table — the ground, the lodge and the guides answer to your group alone. Because each hunter keeps his own cabin, that party of five travels with as many as fifteen: wives, sons, daughters, friends who do not hunt. Fifteen guests, one house, one week that belongs to no one else.

Most of our seasons are taken this way — by families and by groups who have hunted together for years. We hold a limited number of exclusive weeks each roar; they are spoken for early.

Exclusive use is arranged case by case. It asks for a qualifying party of five hunters and a few further conditions around dates and species, which we settle together in conversation.

Arrival

Wheels Down at San Martín de los Andes

San Martín de los Andes (CPC) is an international airport, and it receives chartered and private aircraft directly. Customs and immigration are arranged on request for those arrivals, so a crew flying in privately clears on the field rather than routing through Buenos Aires. From the apron it is a quiet drive to the gate.

Scheduled flights from Buenos Aires land at the same field daily. We meet every arrival, whatever tail number it wears.
