Find out in my guide what your best options are to stay in El Chaltén to make the most of your visit. From budget options to more luxurious and unique stays.

Please note: Writing these guides takes up quite some time so if you like one of my recommended accommodations, it would really help me if you'd book through my link as I'll receive a small commission. The price will stay the same for you, it only helps me to be able to provide more free content in the future. So it's a win-win for both of us 🙂

Unique Stays
Chalten Camp - Glamping With a View
@sarahgeiger
Looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience? This is the place! You will not have a boring, hotel-like room but instead you will sleep in a DOME, in the middle of nature. The interior is super cozy and beautiful and you look right into nature from your bed.
It's the attention to detail and small extras that make this place truly exceptional.
A fireplace, plenty of snacks and even a hot water bottle in bed, this place leaves nothing to be desired.
All the meals are included, staff is very attentive and helpful and does everything to make your stay memorable.

Estancia Bonanza
@sarahgeiger
This is a truly exceptional place! It's not located in the town of El Chaltén itself but further otuside in a remote location with the most stunning views. If it's a clear day you can marvel at Mt. Fitzroy and the glacier which for me is one of the most impressive views in Patagonia.
The Estancia is an old farm turned into a hotel that offers an unique experience. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is included and they also offer a great range of activities such as horse back riding, hiking and climbing.

I've been to Argentina several times and it is one of my favourite countries in the world! I speak Spanish fluently, with an Argentinian accent, which makes it easy for me to connect with locals and experience the country in a more profound way.
My guides cover the popular tourist destinations but also places that are mostly visited by Argentinians and are not very well known yet among international tourists.
I've travelled through Patagonia for almost 2 months and gathered a lot of information that I'm happy to share with you now to make travel planning a lot easier and less stressful for you. Instead of putting hours and hours into research, my guides provide you with the best recommendations so that you have more time to lean back and enjoy.
My detailed guides cover the following destinations:
🔸Bariloche and the best spots around
🔸The best 3 hikes in and around Bariloche
🔸El Bolsón: A destination for hiking lovers and barely visited by international tourists
🔸El Chaltén: Argentina's Trekking Capital
🔸El Calafate: Discover the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier
🔸Ushuaia: the gateway to Antarctica with a hidden gem
Have fun reading🙂

❗PLEASE NOTE❗
I'm trilingual. I offer my services here in English but I can also provide them in German 🇩🇪 and Spanish 🇪🇸 if you contact me ✨
Hi everyone 👋🏻
I'm Sarah from Germany and my biggest passion is everything related to travel. I not only LOVE to organize my own travels but also help others make travelling and especially planning easier. Below you can find some facts about me to get to know me a little better 😊
🌏 I'm backpacking solo around the world since 2017, exploring new places and cultures. I love to travel off the beaten path as I think this is the best way to experience local life and discover places away from mass tourism.
🗻 I've lived in New Zealand for 2,5 years, exploring this beautiful country in my van and I've also lived in Australia and Uruguay for one year each.
🥥 I always try to spend as much time as possible in one country to be able to explore it thoroughly. The first thing I usually do is wandering the streets to get a feel for the place, visiting local markets and also trying all the food.
🏞️🏝️ I love the outdoors, hiking, chasing waterfalls, driving around with the scooter, scuba diving and snorkeling.
