Ski Puma Lodge, Chile
Introduction to Ski Puma Lodge
The Puma Ski Lodge is, effectively, an up-market mountain lodge retreat. It is totally isolated, in a remote spot and ideal for those who wish to be in a place that is “cut off” from populated areas. It sits at an altitude of 1,500m above sea level, in the heart of the Andes, 126km southeast from Santiago.
In the Chilean winter, after a good snow fall, Puma Lodge is a key destination for those who like, and can, powder ski, with helicopter access to the peaks of the Andes covered in the white stuff.
However, if you are not a powder skier, or do not even ski, then Skiing Puma Lodge has other activities and on-site facilities. For example, depending on the weather, there some hiking trails, horse riding, a hot tub, spa, nice restaurant, wine cellar, living and bar area.

About Ski Puma Lodge
Puma Lodge, operated by NOI, offers 34 guest rooms, and 2 larger apartments. It is a boutique hotel in a modern lodge style.
The owners pride themselves on proving a personal service at a high-end level.
If you are a powder skier, whereupon you seek the services of a helicopter to get to virgin slopes of the Andes, then this is the place for you. However, you need to book a ski program and for the helicopter to be arranged in advance. There is not a helicopter onsite all the time.
ExperienceChile.Org can make the ski program arrangements. Just let us know.
Ski Puma Lodge Local Attractions (apart from powder skiing)
El Yeso Lagoon
This lagoon is located approximately 17kms (1.5hrs drive) from the hotel, at an altitude of 2,200 meters above sea level. The road passes through a river and the Las Leñas sector. The Yeso Lagoon is known for the vibrant colour of its water.
National Park Rio Cipreses
Located 31.4kms (1hr) from the lodge. The Park contains the largest population of Tricahue Parrots.
Sewell Mining “Ghost Town”
When it was in operation Sewell was a vibrant Chilean mining town. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2006 due to its historical and cultural value to Chile. It is a fascinating “time warp” where buildings and streets look like a period from the past, but perfectly preserved. Sewell is located 150km south from Santiago, and 64km east from Rancagua, not too far from Puma Lodge.
Location & Map
The Lodge is located 42km east from Rancagua, in an isolated sector in the Andes.
Rancagua is 84km south of Santiago along the main Ruta 5 Panamerican Highway. Heading to a place called Coya, 12km up the mountain from Rancagua and also to the Termas de Cauquenes – a hot springs hotel resort, the road changes to a narrow, uneven surface. From this point anyone coming in a vehicle must have a high-rise base and snow chains (in the winter). The actual address is: Fundo Sierra Nevada S/N, Machalí – VI Región, Chile
The Lodge is close to the mountain border line with Argentina and located almost next to the Reserva Rio de Los Cipres, 30km from Coya. The drive from Las Condes in Santiago will take approximately 2.5hrs.
Naturally, if booking with ExperienceChile.Org, we will arrange the transfers you will need.
