Why Explora El Chaltén
With views to the Electric Valley and the Marconi Glacier, the lodge is the headquarter from where to explore a world-renowned destination by those who love nature and trekking.
Our longlasting presence in Patagonia has led us to understand and defend the importance of exploring a single Patagonian territory beyond the political borders that divide it. It is beyond these man-made divisions that the territory’s true identity lays – an identity which we have respected in the design of each of our exploration routes in El Chaltén.
Exploring Patagonia requires patience and admiration for unusual beauty. The erratic weather is as part of the experience as are the towering mountains and electric ice-fields that keep it locked away from the rest of the world. Each of our explorations in El Chaltén responds to this poetic rythm of Patagonia herself.
We believe luxury is about having all the means necessary to make the most out of the experience, such as a cozy, welcoming environment, and authentically local gastronomic experiences.
We are deeply committed to conserving the marvels we explore daily: unparalleled local nature, astounding culture, and rich heritage. Conservation-driven initiatives – like our lodge architecture, among other conscious processes we adopt – are a vital piece of this greater picture.
The territories we explore and protect haven’t been chosen at random. Instead, they each respond to a conscientious dialogue between nature and culture, collectively articulating a transcontinental constellation of natural and cultural landscapes in urgent need of safeguarding.
