Architectural enlightenment is found at Remota, a modern take on vernacular hacienda design with floor-to-ceiling glass. The huge open firepits beside the resto-lounge are ideal for shaking off a Patagonian chill. Indigo Hotel & Spa’swaterfront perch lets you watch the local fishing fleet. It’s a member of Rusticae, the global network of Spanish pequeños hoteles con carácter. An iron-and-glass bridge connects Hotel Fundador’s two buildings, which straddle a street on the edge of Santiago’s historic Paris-London barrio. Where to Eat At Asador Patagónico, it’s all about the meat. They make their lamb gaucho-style, spiced only with salt and cooked on wood harvested from fallen trees. Vegetarians will like the bistro El Living, owned by Brit-born Jeremy Salter, a former Explora tour guide, and his wife, Anne Patterson. The kitchen runs on North American hours, with no siesta: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. What to Do Remota and Explora offer guided outdoor activities, such as full-day hiking, boating and horseback riding excursions.
