El Chalten Hotels

Aguas Arriba

A lakeside lodge deep in the heart of Patagonia with views of mount Fitz Roy, overlooking a hanging glacier and only accessible by boat, or a ​day hike. Aguas Arriba is a wonderful base for off the beaten track hiking, fishing or simply relaxing. The hosts are friendly and with just 6 rooms it has a cosy atmosphere. Our number one recommendation in the El Chalten/Fitz Roy area.

Explora

This stunning luxury lodge is nestled in the Los Huemules Reserve to the North of El Chalten and bordering Los Glaciares National Park. Enjoy views of the Electric Valley and the Marconi Glacier, and contemporary yet rustic interiors with traditional estancia design influences. The lodge boasts delectable cuisine, a spa and stunning guided excursions.

Kaulem

This 4 bedroom boutique hotel, with views of Fitz Roy from your room and breakfast table, feels like a home away from home. It is ideal for a small group of 6-8 people with a cosy sitting room and floor to ceiling glass so you really feel a connection with the mountains, even when indoors. They also serve a mean breakfast that will turbo power you into the hills.

Nothofagus

Just a 10 minute walk from the bus station, you'll be made to feel right at home by the accommodating owners of this Swiss chalet styled B&B. Already good value for a clean and cheerful stay, you can stretch your money even further by choosing one of their rooms that shares a bathroom between two.

Hosteria El Paraiso

This hosteria has a cosy and welcoming feel with a small bar. The rooms are basic and simply decorated. It is located close to the bars, restaurants and other amenities. The views of Mount Fitzroy on a clear day are simply breathtaking.

Estancias carry huge cultural significance in Patagonia. Historically, families would have survived on these working cattle farms, with gauchos roaming great distances across the mountains by horse. Most estancias no longer operate as farms but still sit proudly on the land out in the wilderness, and have retained their rustic charm whilst opening their doors to guests. Undoubtedly the best place to get a true taste of Patagonian culture, and to immerse yourself in the vast landscapes.
