The Magic Mountain hotel

Magic Mountain is an incredible hotel in the Huilo Huilo nature reserve in Chile.
It's a long way from anywhere and the journey there isn't easy, but after you arrive
you can go for a sauna and just relax. The hotel itself is certainly one of the most
beautiful and unusual places I've ever seen - it looks like a volcano sitting under
a waterfall!

There are lots of things to do in Hui lo Hui lo and I was never bored in the three
days I was there. On the first day I went for a walk in the forest. I went with
an excellent guide so I learned all about the trees, plants, animals and birds in
the reserve. Then I went on a trip to Lake Pirihueico, where you can go fishing,
swimming and sailing. But if you want a more exciting adventure, go to the
Chosuenco volcano for excellent skiing and snowboarding. Then you can relax
in the hot springs nearby. And definitely
don't leave without visiting the magnificent
Huilo Huilo waterfall.

The Magic Mountain hotel has thirteen
rooms and a double room costs about
$i8o a night. If you want to go skiing,
the best snow is in July and August. For
other outdoor activities the best times are
September to November and March to April.
