Hammock Dreaming at This Super Cool Hotel in Patagonia

Where: Ladrilleros 105, Puerto Natales, Chile

We just found this hotel through the Tablet Hotels application on Facebook (oh yeah, we're into that!) and we wanna go like right now.

It's called Hotel Indigo and it thankfully has nothing to do with the cookie-cutter "lifestyle" brand from IHG Hotels.

Hotel Indigo is located in the Chilean part of Patagonia in Puerto Natales. It's a bit difficult to get to but probably worth it.

The 29-room hotel offers super killer views of the Last Hope Fjord and is close to the Torres del Paine park. But what's really great about this hotel is that it's practically architectural eye candy and stylish inside to boot. Not something you would usually expect from a hotel in Patagonia.

The hotel has wireless internet, a spa, a restaurant and lounge bar and a hammock in the lobby. We love hammocks here. But the bestest part is the price. Room rates start at $160--totally reasonable for such a cool hotel.

Explora Chile, Alpaca Style

Where: Torres del Paine National Park, Puerto Natales, Patagonia, Chile

Looking for an incredible resort in Chile where you can be at one with the indigenous alpacas? Check out the Explora Patagonia Hotel, where it looks like the views alone are worth the price of admission.

It is one of those all inclusive resorts which means:

1. It is expensive

2. Prepare to participate in a multitude of activities to get your money's worth

One recent visitor quipped:

The staff at the Explora is geared to give you first class attention. I wandered down to the bar one afternoon to get a beer and there was no one there. I walked to the office and asked and by the time I got back to the bar, my drink was waiting.

Now that is the kind of service we are willing to pay for.

If you can, request a room overlooking the lago (Macizo del Paine view)
