Why we like this hotel
- The lodge is snug and homely, the staff are warm and welcoming, and it feels like you’re tucked away in the forest as you sit in the living room looking out at the trees, rivers and mountains.
- This is an adventure lodge set up for adventurers to have a comfy base to explore from: you can hike all day or there is the possibility of high mountain explorations and rock climbing (top rope) for the extreme adventurer.
- Being in the Los Huemules Reserve, with 5,800 hectares of flora and fauna conservation, you have access to an enormous number of self-guided trails. Plus, you can head out slightly further afield with your guides to explore Mount Fitz Roy.
- Superb pastries, hearty meat dishes and overall delicious food.
- Explora's team act as custodians of the land they have been entrusted with (and have developed) a strict environmental policy.
We think it's worth noting
- There is not much to do if you are not looking for an active adventure or you don't want to go out on a rainy day.
- When the lodge is at full capacity, space at the spa may be limited.
- Only the Suites contain full baths, the other rooms come with showers only.
- Some rooms have a better view and some can be a little noisy: enquire to find out more.
- The external appearance of the lodge may not be as aesthetically attractive as other lodges in the region, but it is pragmatic given the strict sustainability and construction regulations.

Explora El Chaltén's location in the Los Huemules Reserve is truly secluded and at one with nature. It allows you to step away from busy modern life and reconnect with the natural world on an epic scale.

Swoop says
Hiking in the Huemules Reserve feels like stepping into a secret corner of Patagonia—quiet trails, ancient forests, and glaciers peeking through the peaks. And the best part? Wrapping it up with a stack of crepes, warm, buttery, and best enjoyed with a mountain view.
