Arakur<\/a> is a new\u00a0hotel\u00a0up on Cerro Cortez, above Ushuaia<\/a>. I stayed here after my trip to Antarctica<\/a> and welcomed a bit of luxury after 10 days on a small expedition vessel<\/a>. The\u00a0hotel\u00a0is about 15 minutes from the centre of town and several hundred meters higher up the mountain. This gives you spectacular views across the Beagle Channel. The light down here is amazing even from sea level, and from this position up on the mountain you have a view that will mesmerise anyone with an eye for Mother Nature.

\nThe\u00a0hotel\u00a0has only recently started receiving its first guests so they are still finding their feet when it comes to service; however you can already see that they are aiming very high in terms of the levels of attention they will provide their guests. It\u2019s a large\u00a0hotel\u00a0but has some interesting and unique design features that make it feel a bit more boutique, and they’ve succeeded in giving it the feel of a classic Patagonia \u2018Lodge\u2019.
\n\"Screen<\/a>
\nThe\u00a0hotel\u00a0has many selling points, but \u00a0the most important in my opinion is that this is, I think, the only\u00a0hotel\u00a0in\/near Ushuaia<\/a> from which you can walk straight onto beautiful hiking trails. They have 100 hectares of wildlife reserve (tbc) with some beautiful trails for walks of up to 3 hours. You will walk through Lenga forest to some spectacular views of the Valle Andorra, and the Glaciar Vinciguerra, and of course out across the Beagle Channel<\/a>.
\nHaving met their senior guide, I suspect that over time this may evolve into the number one base for day hikes around Argentine Tierra del Fuego.<\/p>\n

Book a couple of nights here if you want:\u00a0some well deserved comfort and luxury, and an opportunity to stretch your legs in the foothills of Tierra\u00a0del Fuego.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
