Towering granite spires of Mount Fitz Roy loom over this hiker's paradise, where trails lead to jaw-dropping viewpoints like Laguna de los Tres. Los Glaciares National Park surrounds the town with pristine wilderness that feels almost untouched. After conquering the trails, rest weary legs at local breweries serving craft beers alongside hearty Argentine asado. Kayak the mirror-like waters of Lago del Desierto or take an easier walk to Salto El Chorrillo Waterfall. The Capilla de los Escaladores (Climbers' Chapel) pays tribute to those who've tackled these formidable peaks. For a perfect introduction, hike to Laguna Capri – the turquoise waters frame Fitz Roy in a way that explains why photographers wake at ungodly hours to capture it.
We were very much impressed by this apartment. To be honest, we were expecting some catch after we booked because it was a very competitive rate, but no reviews available …. It then turned out that there was no catch: a very spacious apartment with a great view, well equipped and all brand new - this was the reason for no reviews! The team at the reception gave us a friendly welcome and helped us to decide what hikes to do. There is parking outside the building. We will consider coming back when...

Rooms were lovely and spacious and staff were so helpful. Special shoutout to the local guide Ignacio who is available daily to recommend hiking routes and to know when the weather will be best to venture on large hikes (e.g. Laguna de Los Tres). The food and service was exquisite. We booked the mountain view, however after visiting, the valley view is more beautiful. Would definitely stay again.

The perfect location. We arrived in the rain and cloud and woke up to the most amazing private views of Fitz Roy.
Manu was wonderful, recommending hikes to us which we would not have discovered.
The property is isolated which we loved, located around 30/35 mins outside of El Chalten.
The food was the best of our trip and the pods were everything we could wish for.
We were happy to be out of phone signal for a couple of days as it really gave us time to switch off. Would highly recommend.

Check in was easy and Alejandra was attentive to any questions we had including making us a takeaway breakfast for our early starts and providing a map of the town. The room was clean and big enough for what we needed but no wardrobe or space to hang things up which would be helpful. We had a problem with the room not being cleaned for two days during our stay but when we reported this Alejandra sorted it as she wasn’t aware the cleaner hadn’t attended.

We stayed in one of their chalets. The breakfast was provided every morning so you could eat in the room and not rush to a buffet. The front desk staff was incredible, super helpful and would advice on hikes and weather condition. I also made use of their laundry service which was great and cheap for the amount of clothes I dropped off! The restaurants in the area are good and the hotel is super close to all major hike routes. Would go again and can‘t recommend enough! ✨

The hostel was very chill, which was nice, but it would have been good to have more social things. Staff always cleaning. 24hr restaurant was helpful. Kitchen did not have any bowls, so we ate cereal from saucepans everyday haha.
