Why we like this hotel
- Sitting in the living room looking out at the forest, rivers and mountains that surround the remote, isolated lodge.
- The lodge has a homely, relaxed, snug atmosphere and super friendly, happy staff. Feels like a cabin in the woods.
- The hotel is set within the Los Huemules Reserve with 5,800 hectares of flora and fauna conservation.
- Explora's team act as custodians of the land they have been entrusted with and have developed a strict environmental policy.
- 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.
- Superb pastries and hearty delicious food
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
- The Spa is too small for 20 rooms.
- There are only baths in the Suites
- Some rooms have a better view and some can be a little noisy: enquire to find out more.
- The external appearance of the hotel is quite functional/shed like and not as attractive as other lodges in the region.
Looking out at Perito Moreno glacier
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.
