Delivering a new level of comfort in Chile
YAN KEE WAY is a great starting and ending point for any expedition to Chile and is a fascinating facility unto itself. Volcan Osorno, considered one of the most beautiful volcanic cones in the world, dominates the horizon in front of the lodge. The compound was carefully constructed over a five year
period, with great attention to detail. Exposed, sandblasted post and beam construction throughout highlights beautiful local woods, black lava encrustations and old-world style craftsmanship.
Lodging is comprised of private chalets, bungalows and hotel style rooms. The 1,400 square foot chalets and
bungalows are designed to accommodate groups of various sizes. Each building was carefully designed and constructed from beautiful local woods, in a style appreciative of local architecture yet incorporating
many modern features, including central heating and details such as fluffy towels, bathrobes and goose down comforters, which are sure to please your family and friends.
 The Lodge features Latitude 42º Restaurant with excellent international cuisine.
The 1,500 square foot kitchen was designed and constructed in the United States, disassembled, containerized and shipped to Chile. It is recognized as the best kitchen facility in the Patagonia, perhaps the whole of Chile.
Our founder personally traveled throughout Mexico and South America purchasing artwork and decorations. Most of the furnishings were custom designed and crafted in Chile and Argentina.
Artwork found throughout the lodge, chalets and bungalows, creates a unique and exceptionally comfortable atmosphere. There are numerous pieces of original art on
the grounds, created by Chilean artists. The current art project is the carving of a tree, 16 meters high and 6 meters wide at the top. The sculptor has won various international awards and blue ribbons for his carvings.
There are a numerous cozy spaces, throughout the compound, in which to relax and socialize . For those who wish to stay abreast of current global events, we have satellite television, telephone, fax communications, Internet service and e-mail in our
reception and Lounge. If you wish to leave it all behind,
your wish is our command.
For some, getting used to the quietness surrounding you may be a struggle. In the midst of lush trees and native vegetation, opening your window allows you to
experience the fragrant, clean air and the seemingly orchestrated sounds of birds. You’ll gain a new appreciation of the night sky. You will see an incredible number of celestial objects, not to mention
two galaxies and the Southern Cross which are not visible from much of the Northern Hemisphere.
Once settled in, you may find it difficult to venture off the grounds. If you can drag yourself away, there are plenty of activities that await
you: fishing, horseback riding, rafting biking, trekking, boating, sightseeing and shopping, just to name a few. These activities are described in detail in the Sport Adventure and Cultural Expedition sections. Explore the pages
which illustrate, in more detail, the facilities and activities at YAN KEE WAY.
YAN KEE WAY allows you to quickly feel at home. When the hour of departure arrives, most don’t
feel like leaving. As you depart, thoughts of coming back will be on your mind, as they will be upon your return home. |
