Rio Perdido

Twenty steel-and-concrete bungalows on stilts above two river gorges, connected by elevated walkways and strung with hammocks, in a dwarf forest most people drive straight past on the way to the beach. Rio Perdido is a sustainably built resort in the remote San Bernardo Lowlands, earning two Michelin Keys, where the hotel tucks itself into the landscape rather than the other way around. Thermal waters and hiking trails sit just outside the door.
