You know that feeling when you are about to do something that you think may be a bit unusual or even slightly crazy and then someone just jumps in and totally tops any craziness you could have thought of?  Well, that is how I feel about the Montana Magica Lodge in Chile.

Someone down there in Hulio-Huio said, “lets make an earth sheltered hotel.”  And someone else said, “Yea, but lets put a great big waterfall on top of it.”  And instead of calming them down,  someone else in the room said, “that’s a great idea, and lets use a rope bridge to get to it.”  

And they did; and you can book a suite for $300 US per night…

The site doesn’t provide specific information on the construction of the mountain, but I did read a general statement that the buildings were constructed of wood.  It it has a wood frame, it looks like it was also covered in waterproofing and rock before plants and perhaps a very small amount of soil were added.

And this is just one of a number of really strange buildings they have done there at Hulio~Hulio…

Anyway, point is, if anyone thinks I am a bit crazy, I can just show them this and point out how at least I resisted the urge to build a magic mountain with a waterfall and a rope bridge…
