El Chalten Lodge

Wilderness
Argentinian Patagonia, Argentina

El Chalten lodge gives access to Patagonia’s most remote and spectacular wilderness. The property is designed to take full advantage of the serenity of the Los Huemules Conservation Reserve, while minimising its impact on the environment.

This sustainably designed property looks out over Electric Valley and the Marconi Glacier, with its spectacular position making it ideal for exploring Argentinian Patagonia. It lies within reach of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.

Why Do We Like El Chalten Lodge?

For the first time ever, a new charter-flight service connects Patagonia National Park with Torres del Paine and El Chalten for an exceptional 13-day wilderness experience.

Facilities

Blending wood and metal, El Chalten embraces a minimalist contemporary design that makes no attempt to distract from the impressive natural beauty that encircles it. The 17 rooms and three suites are all bright and spacious, affording beautiful views over the Patagonian landscape.

The in-house spa includes two saunas and several open-air Jacuzzis. Whilst the restaurant features a menu designed by renowned Argentinian chef Pablo Jesús Rivero, focusing on locally sourced and sustainable ingredients.

Activities

Time at El Chalten is spent exploring the unique landscape in which it is located. Set out in the company of one of the lodge’s bilingual guides to explore the forests, mountains and glaciers of Argentinian Patagonia. Options range from treks and overland trips to ice hikes and even rock climbing.

Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Bahia Bustamante Lodge £££££

Argentina

Perched on the flabbergasting Patagonian coastline within 100,000 spectacularly biodiverse acres, Bahia Bustamante Lodge is a unique seaside lodge that has earned the feat of Argentina’s little-known answer to the Galapagos Islands. Surrounded by petrified forests, sandy beaches, moonscapes and crystal-clear water, this area attracts everything from penguins and armadillos to sea lions and guanacos.
