Hotel AWA, Las Balsas, and The Untold Patagonia collaborate to offer travelers a seamless itinerary blending design, conservation, and authentic local culture

Patagonia has many scenic routes, but only one blends design, sustainability, and discovery in a single, seamless journey. B Route Patagonia is a new 10-day immersion into the less-traveled corners of southernmost South America—an all-inclusive guided experience celebrating Slow Travel and regeneration through connection with nature, culture, and community.

Anchoring the Chilean side of the route, Hotel AWA, a striking Brutalist-designed boutique hotel on Lake Llanquihue, welcomes travelers to the heart of the experience.

The B Route unites two countries, three provinces, and two national parks—bound by a shared purpose to connect travelers with the spirit of Patagonia.” — Mauricio Fuentes, General Manager and Co-Owner of Hotel AWA

A Route of Connection and Conservation

Laid out over 231 miles (373 kilometers) in a circular path from Bariloche, Argentina, the B Route meanders west, south, east, and north through an astonishing range of ecosystems—from vast steppes and mist-draped temperate rainforest to the volcanic peaks of the Andes.

Travelers of all activity levels can explore this dramatic landscape through guided hikes, kayaking excursions, and scenic Andean lake-crossings linking Chile and Argentina.

Highlights include:

• Victoria Island in Chile’s Chonos Archipelago
• Eight lakes throughout the Los Lagos region
• The volcanoes that define Patagonia’s skyline

Three Boutique Lodges, One Regenerative Vision

The exclusive B Route Patagonia itinerary connects three independent boutique properties:

• Hotel AWA, Puerto Varas, Chile
• Las Balsas, Villa La Angostura, Argentina
• The Untold Patagonia, Bariloche, Argentina

Each is a Certified B Corporation, recognized by B Lab for meeting rigorous social and environmental performance standards. Hotel AWA proudly became Chile’s first B Corp-certified hotel in 2020.

Guests enjoy multi-night stays at each lodge, with locally sourced cuisine, guided explorations, and authentic cultural encounters designed to reflect and respect each destination’s natural and human heritage.

“More than a journey, B Route Patagonia is a manifesto,” says Nahuel Alonso, CEO and Founder of the B Route and its parent company Esencia Patagonia. “It reveals the extraordinary beauty of these landscapes and the people who care for them—inviting moments of stillness, creativity, and transformation.”
