Chaltén Camp is located a couple of miles from El Chaltén and as such is a haven of peace and tranquillity. It's ideal for those who seek calm and quiet while still relaxing in comfort at the end of each day.
From the closest airport at El Calafate, it's a 3¼-hr drive to Chaltén Camp.
The camp is located just two miles from the small town of El Chaltén, yet feels way more remote than this would suggest. It's set in a native forest, well away from the crowds, nestled between the Las Vueltas River and a huge granite wall.
It's the only property in El Chaltén to offer uniterrupted views of the magnificent Fitz Roy and there's really nothing else like it in town - it's a great option for those wanting to replicate the Torres del Paine glamping experience.
You can reach the camp by private transfer, or your own vehicle.

Chaltén Camp don't run their own excursions, but we can easily combine a stay here with our most popular trips:
• Highlights of Los Glaciares
• Best of Los Glaciares
Alternatively, you can choose your own tailor-made day-excursions such as fly-fishing, kayaking, rock-climbing and a variety of day hikes.
These trips incur an extra cost and are not included in the accommodation price.

Breakfast and evening meals are served at antique tables in the 80m² main dome. This is a great place to relax and unwind, meet other travellers and enjoy stunning views of the mountains.
There are 110/220 volt sockets here to charge your devices and also a water dispenser to refill your water bottles.
Box lunches are provided every day and for dinner there is a set three course menu based on traditional Argentine recipes which changes daily and caters to those with dietary restrictions.
Near the to main dome is a fire pit which provides a great place to sit, enjoy a drink and gaze at the clear southern sky. There are also several picnic tables dotted around the camp where you can enoy a picnic lunch.

With the creek nearby, and the solitude, you can sit and watch sunset and sunrise at your leisure and listen to the trickle of water and tiny chirping birds. I also LOVED the hot water bottles provided for those fresh Patagonian mornings.

The triple domes can have three single beds or one single and one queen-size bed.
