Explora El Chalten

Explora El Chaltén sits in a picturesque setting, surrounded by views of the Marconi Glacier and Electric Valley and at the base of the legendary Fitzroy Mountain Range. The destination seamlessly blends luxurious accommodations with its rugged natural surroundings. Guests are steps away from unforgettable adventures, whether lounging in a sumptuous room, dining on locally sourced cuisine, or fully recharging at the spa.

We’ll use the lodge as our cozy home base for explorations in El Chaltén. Explora’s passionate local guides are always eager to lead guests into the surrounding mountains, valleys, glaciers and lagoons of the Argentinian Patagonia. Our hotel staff is equally as passionate, warmly welcoming you into the unique part of the world they call home. With us, you can safely and sustainably embark on hiking, climbing, riding, kayaking and other adventures.

Explora is located amidst a private natural reserve, 17 km north of the small mountain villa EL Chalten, on the north bank of the Eléctrico River and surrounded by dense forests of lenga and ñirre trees. Its strategic position is perfect to explore the Southern Patagonia Ice Field, the world’s third largest fresh water reserve. The surrounding scenery is just one reason our lodge is among the best places to stay in El Chaltén.

​Explora lodge is all-inclusive and includes transfer in/out from El Calafate (fixed time schedule), accommodations, meals and beverages (including open bar), guided explorations (choose between 35+ hiking, biking and overland van-based in groups of maximum 8 guests) and park entrance fees.
