El Puesto

El Puesto is a beautiful, hand-built hotel in the small town of Puerto Río Tranquilo. It began as Tamara and Francisco’s home — just a family house with a couple of extra rooms — and slowly grew into a hotel over the years. You can feel that origin story in the walls: everything has a story. Most of it is built from local timber, designed by Francisco himself, who is an architect and photographer.The atmosphere is warm, bright, and deeply cozy, with real materials like sheepskin rugs and loom-woven throws, alowwing the body to rest with the natural textures everywhere. Its filled with light and corners you naturally gravitate to when you want to read or just sit quietly.Sustainability at El Puesto it’s simply how they live. Across the street they keep a series of greenhouses and a thriving orchard where they grow almost all the vegetables and fruits used in the kitchen. They compost their organic waste. Some parts of the building are insulated with sheep wool. Local sourcing it’s their everyday reality.Tamara and Francisco have lived in the region for nearly three decades, long before tourism arrived in Aysén. They also own Parque Exploradores, where they’ve carried out long-term research and conservation work. Their relationship with the land is commited and sincere — and that sense of care is visible everywhere in the hotel.El Puesto is not only beautiful; it feels alive. Warm. Considered. Built by people who know this territory, love it, and have shaped a place that allows others to feel it in a grounded, comfortable way.
