Lake Potrerillos and the Spirit of Stillness

Just 45 minutes from our guest house lies Lake Potrerillos — a turquoise basin hugged by the Andes. The light dances across its surface, changing color with each hour. This place isn’t about checking a box. It’s about remembering how to breathe. Guests often tell us that here, time expands. They sit by the shore, journal in hand, or share quiet moments with loved ones. It’s not just a destination — it’s a feeling. Potrerillos isn’t for Instagram. It’s for your soul.
